Default what to do

Im coming into about 800 dollars when I sell my boat that I can allocate towards the jeep fund. So I'm wondering what to do. Options are as follows.
On board air
If I do on board air should I also get a locker I have 3.21 gears is there a point to getting a locker before I regear.
Rock rails.
Snorkel
Rims
Also if need to get more than one option I can add to the jeep fund some and not be cut short else where I just don't know what to do next what will benefit me the most. My typical off roading is trail riding with a lot of mud and some off camber times. Some hill climbs. Some rocks. So what will benefit me the most??

On Board Air... is nice if you air down a lot. That was my last upgrade and I am happy with it. Took about that much money to make me feel finished. Quadratec has a great package from Dominion Off Road that is very complete and easy to install.

Rock Rails...would be my second choice. Armor is always good.


Guess it depends on how hard you wheel.

The problem with saving is I have the monticello jeep jamboree in Sept and I would like to be built up a little more before then. Regear is coming out of profit share for the year and my income taxes in the spring.

Onboard air and rails. I think it is more than possible to do both, especially if you don't go overboard with your air set up. I don't air down a lot so I don't need all the fancy tanks and huge compressors. $300-$400 for air and $400-$500 for rails.

I love Dave at Northridge.
I'm about to order my air from Brett at Jeep Swag
Both are super nice guys!
