Default Given 10 grand, what would you do?

My dream build from stock is Dana 44 front axel, 4.5 in BDS Long arm, 37" MT tires(all terrain probably), new gears, rock sliders, fenders, and lockers.

My goal(still sitting at stock) for now, is 3" BDS lift w/ fox shocks, 35" duratracs, 4.10 gears, flat fenders, and lockers.

The only thing I wouldn't want to do myself is the gears. I'm not super mechanically inclined.

Given 10 grand, I'd use it for gasoline for the JK, and heating oil for the house. It'd be like having them for free; for a while, anyway.

A BB and trimmed fenders, and a good start on the LS fund.
