Default Which gift for my 1yr. anniversary??

ok guys and gals,
my 1yr. anniversary is coming up october 18th and my lovely wife is letting me pick anything out i want in the $300 or so pricerange. somy mind has started spinning around at the possibilities...i've narrowed it down to 3 choices. but would love to hear yalls opinion on my choices...here's a little info on how i use it:
it's my dd and my trek to work is only 6 miles one way. i wheel it when i can(schedule gets pretty crazy, so roughly every few months i get to get it dirty)when i do wheel it it's in semi thick wooded trails w/ lots of overgrown brush. i love to play in the water and go through as much mud as i can!! i don't really drive it on long trips(have another vehicle for that) but at most i drive 5.5 hours to the in-laws...and i wasn't too happy with my coils sagging as much as they have so i would love to change coils/ the light bar just looks sick!!!/and the snorkel is almost a must but don't really get to wheel it as often as i like,so don't know if it would be worth it...just can't make up my mind.
thanks in advance,
Ben

Snorkle would get you better gas mileage for all those times when you're not wheeling it. Also very cool. If I got new coils I'd go something in the 4" range with 35s.

see i was going to do 4in. coils, but i have chopped fenders and don't really know if that much wheel well space would look good just having 35's..

i love to play in the water and go through as much mud as i can!!
That says it all.

the snorkel is almost a must but don't really get to wheel it as often as i like,so don't know if it would be worth it.
How often can you take water in the engine before it seizes? You're just rolling the dice...

You already have the lift... I'm staying away from lightbars because I don't wanna mess some lights with the trees... So go for the snorkel, in fact that's what I'm going to do for my b-day present

hmmmm first off you have a great point. it only takes one time and it's done. but if i don't go the snorkel route i would obviously back off on the mud and water and keep it to a bare minimum if any.

all of us snorkeless people say that .... but the reality is if you like mud/water you like mud/water. get the snorkel.
