Default What should be done next?

Finally finishing my rear bumper and tire carrier install was the last thing I spent on my jeep in the last couple months. I have a little bit of tax money coming back so I'm hoping to get a little something done or at least know which direction to go from here.

Lift and tires are done. Tire carrier is done (important to me because I didn't want to ever get stuck without a fifth wheel.) I go on camping trips with my buddies a couple times a year and have a long beach trip planned, so I basically want to make sure I'll be good to go once we get out there. I was thinking about trying to beef up some pieces for wheeling.

I'd love to get suggestions. Gussets? Armor?

It would be good for looks, but I dont see it helping me too much on the trips I'll be taking

Gussets and an evap skid would be a good place to start. Inexpensive insurance

C-Gussets.. then help make sure the C's on your axle don't bend from the added stress of running larger tires..
