Question What would you guys get for 400$?

My girlfriend is off on maternity leave and due around christmas so she is trying to get all her christmas shopping done early. If you had a cap of 400$ what would you guys get? Also, what would you guys get for 700$ if that was the cap (I'm sure my family would toss in. They always complain there is nothing to buy for me.)

Ive already got 35's, a leveling kit, a 10500lb winch, OR Fab stinger, procomp wheels, spacers, 4.88s, diff covers, bestop trektop.

I dont want to go any higher in lift until I cant put bigger tires under my rig. I wont do that until Im on 60's, and I wont buy 60's until i have a hemi. So what would you guys do? Lights, snorkel, whatever. It could be a combo of 30 little things or one big thing. Im just looking for ideas.

Not looking for a tire carrier at this point as I want a GenRight and its way out of my budget.

Thanks guys!


EDIT

There are mods I forgot lol.

Ive got BW Flats, CB, Hypertech, SOG Seal Pup Elite on each front roll bar.

River Raider Snorkel if you have the $700. I got mine over the summer and they start @ $500 bare metal (yes metal!) and go up from there depending on coating...I also got the hard line kit...posted a pic elsewhere on the site. Anyway, it is a really bad ass set up an I am very happy. I bought it as an insurance policy, not to turn JK into submarine.

quick disconnects, or even a rear locker. the locker is more than 700$ but you wont have to put in that much money unless you get it professionally installed.

How about an aev procal? Some recovery gear, new floor mats, move/skid your evap, mirror relocation brackets, a transmission cooler, some LED rock lights, HID upgrade to your lights, a JKF sweater, some tire deflators, a new cooler for some road sodas, a real first aid kit, a K-Bar knife, a CB radio and antennae, seat covers, I think that is all i can think of for now.
