    Gears and locker. Or new transfer case skid with rerouted exhuast. More useful than anything else on that list IMO.

    I voted gears! Seems to be the popular choice. I love spending money, especially when it's not my money.

    Gears and lockers. Kings are a close second. You can always get yourself a harmonica if you really need tunes.

    Voted for sound system, it's a relatively cheap install, got a kenwood head unit, alpine amp and decent JBL speakers with sound deadening for about 700 bucks. Did the install myself, learned a few things and my God my taco sounds good now. Still a few rattles I need to find, but at this point i probably wont. Still worth it imo
