Default Need Some Help

HI guys tomorrow I am ordering an 09 stone white 4 door rubicon with the 6 Speed. I worked hard for the past two years and save up enough money to build her up as soon as I get her. So I want to post up what I am about to order and hope that you guys can help me out a bit. Here is what I want to order
Full traction 3" ultimate lift kit
(5) Toyo 35.12.50 MT
(5) AEV 17" rims
Shrockworks or PJ front Winch bumper
PJ rear bumper with tire carrier
Warn Power plant winch
Synthetic Winch Line with thimble hook
4.88 or 5.13 gears
Possible rocker guards because not sure how good the rubicon ones are
Some sort of additional lighting
Skid Plates just not sure which ones I need

My purpose is to build this jeep to capable on all level trails as my skills improve however I want the jeep to be able to drive somewhat nice on the road. If you guys can give me some guidance on what I am missing that would be great. I would rather try to build it up to where I want it just once rather than in small steps. Thanks for the input and look forward to talking to you guys .

Thanks I don't think I want to wait any longer as I want the jeep to by mid winter so the wait for the diesel is unlikely. I would love to see pics of your rig and as soon as the jeep comes in you bet I will have pics up!!!

I would make a few runs with the Jeep in stock form before upgrading just to make sure everything works as it should. This will make any warranty work easier to obtain.

You will be suprised at what you can do with a stock Rubi! Have fun and keep us posted
