I've been lurking the forums here for a few years now, taking notes and slowly building up enough of a savings to build out my 02, and recently decided to just say screw it and start the journey. So here's what I've done to the 'ol girl so far! Would love suggestions and input from the more experienced people here.

    Current mods:
    K&N Cold Air Intake
    3 in Suspension Lift
    Trail Gear Rock Guard Front and Rear Bumpers
    Sorta Decent Headlight Kit
    Blinkers Rewired to Side Markers
    Matte Black Front Grille
    Oil Pan and Battery Heaters (it's an Alaska thing)
    Outside Air Temp Thermometer (works maybe 30% of the time )

    Planned mods:
    Front and Rear Mid Travel Suspension System (may do long travel, but nonetheless would love some suggestions)
    BudBuilt Armor System
    Demello Offroad Round Sliders
    LED Headlight Swap (once again, would love some suggestions)

    It's pretty much just an adhesive coated heater that runs to a surge protector. The wall plug sticks out the front grille and you just slap an extension cord on it and plug into whatever. I'll get a picture of it in a bit.
