Default Got $1400 to spend

I recently purchased a 2.5'' teraflex lift with shock adapters, 315/75/16 km2s, method race wheels, an OR-fab tire carrier and I already have front/rear bumpers, winch, and aux lights. I have $1400 dollars left and cant decide on the next best step in the build. Ive been thinking of regearing, c gussets, and sleeves (can't decide whether I should put money in a d30 or not) or elka shocks and a flashpaq.

c gussets and axle sleeves. with both those professional labor i'm guessing would be around $800. so parts and labor you're pocket should be dry..

Regear and a selectable rear locker. That may put you over $1400 depending on the labor. Eaton E-locker is around $750.

I would say gussets and sleeves are wasted on a D30 it's just as strong as a 44 just smaller pumpkin.

What gears do you have now?

I would suggest some rock sliders, maybe an evap skid. Maybe oil and tranny skid.
Flat fenders, CB, sport cage maybe. Idk I just think dont bother with the D30. or just save a bit more and get a PR44 up front

Do you have sliders/side protection? If not, I'd get that + a selectable rear locker and hold off throwing money in to your D30 front.

Awesome start! How about a set of TeraFlex SpeedBumps? https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...OW-IN-PROGRESS

If I were you... I'd put it towards rock sliders(didn't see those mentioned), and poison spider pumpkin covers. Anything left over after that should go into other skids like evap, gastank, ect... Mabey even a rear coast shaft if running bigger tires?
