Default this is the toughest decision yet...

So, I am lifted, got my 35's, rock rails, bumper, warn 9.5ti and some undercarriage protection... so, I have a little cash and am in a dilemma. What is the next most important mod? Here are my choices.. teraflex sleeve and gusset kit installed, regear, buy a locker and hold on to it till I can afford regear and install? Also, if I just get the sleeve and gusset install, I can purchase synthetic line and maybe a new cb? I've been racking my brain! Oh, this is all going to be put on a 2010 jk 2 door with open front and rear diffs.

How about some skids...EVO ProTek is a cheap, worthwhile addition.

Well, runnin with 35's, I was thinking that regearing and strengthening axles was more priority. The stock skids haven't been so bad. I was looking at the Rock Hard skid setup. Couple people I wheel with like theirs.

Get some booze and a hooker and give it a few days to think about it.

The only answer is gussets first or you will bend your C's on your axles with 35s and wheeling. Then you will have long term problems with steering and other issues.

I would probably wait until your ready to regear before buying the locker, I'd think it would be best to do them at the same time; and what fun is buying a mod that you won't put in yet!

If it were me, I'd probably lean more towards sleeves and gussets first, and also maybe upgrading ball joints as well while you're at it.

And if all else fails...

If your going to regear, I would get lockers too. I wouldn't pay to open it twice

What you guys fail to realize is that I buy hookers and booze all the time, that's why its been so difficult to save money for jeep parts!

I sat on my lift for about a year before finally installing it cause I didn't wanna roll around on stock tires. Haha. We all know how fun it is to see that rolling down the road
