I would call David at Northridge and order a Dana 44 and 60 pro rock axle sets Then raise another $5k-$10k to finish up the ancillary costs...

I'd put it in the bank, telling myself I was going to save it.

Then I'd slowly drain it on a bunch of worthless mods to try to tide me over until I decided where my priorities were.

By the time I figured it all out I'd be out of money but I'd have a bunch of lame chrome doodads all over the Jeep.

Rent a Ferrari, hit the strip club, leave with some girls, get a few items off the bucket list, crash said Ferrari, and bail myself out of jail. Whatever was left, I would put another mod on the jeep.
