My dream list for 2014, some will be easy some not so much.

Would like to get the final pieces together for a 2.5" lift, have had all 8 CA in the garage for 6 months
wheels and tires
Truss for front/rear axle
Stronger axles, not sure which ones yet but will figure it out when I get there
replace the front bumper I just smashed wheeling today
Trek Armor seat covers

and wheel as much as possible

Good luck to all completing their list

Spidertrax spacers
Maybe cut the flares? I'll have to see how I like the fit.
Raptor line the interior and grill
Air compressor to do said bed lining
50" ebay LED light bar for the windshield
Blitzpro 6" lights for back-up lights (ordered)
Finally get around to doing my aux fuse box. I have all the parts, just need to do it.
Rugged ridge a-pillar switch thing with OTRATTW switches.

That all seems reasonable right? Lol
With 33's you don't need to touch your fenders but you will need spacers, don't cheap out, get the Spyder Trax, cheap spacers are scary

Nice list!

I would hold off on the 50" light bar and spend that $ on more fundamental items...

For the process of building up my Jeep, I made a concerted effort to put my money towards enhancing the off road capabilities vs items that are purely aesthetics...

I hope that makes sense

Or unless you're running the Baja 1000 with it, look into the cheaper ebay light bars. There's a big thread about them and people seem to like the ones they've gotten.
