Default What should I upgrade next?

So fellow jeepers as you all know its tax return time!
I have the budget to spend about 1,200 of that on jeep mods. So im asking for you opinions. I have a 2 door "x". My current set up is a 3 inch teraflex lift with all lower control arms, wheel, 35 inch tires, rock rails, front bumper, seat covers, and relocated steering stabilizer. This is what im thinking (gears are out for now, i dont drive on the highway that much and my 4.10's seem to work fine offroad.) Rear LOD bumper to support that big tire? Rear upper control arms and rear driveshaft? Save that money and upgrade to a front Rubi 44? Winch? Or upgrade my Dana 30? So if it were you what would you do first guys and gals?!

well, you could get a Rock Hard oil/trans and a gas tank skid, that would leave you enough for a driveshaft
