Start getting stuff that is more functional over looks........the winch is good but black magics and plastic lamp guards

High priority items are stuff like armor, which would include differential plates and rock sliders, perhaps a gas tank skid. And recovery accessories....such as a rear recovery hitch piece + shackle, and a good recovery strap if you dont already have one.

I would also start to look for a lift kit of some sort.....I recommend an RTE 2"/3" lift.

Also, check to see if your DII has the CDL (center locking diff) nipple on the tcase. I think if it was made in march or before (in 2001) then you do have the nipple. If you do, buy or make a linkage so you have some way to engage it.

Before you go putting the cart in front of the horse, what are you going to do with this truck? I agree with Keptin, no frill stuff till you get it up and running, beside if you take it off the road, you will tear off the ft/rear lamp guards.

im not gonna be doing any rock climbing. Im gonna be doing alot of muddin and some trails.

Do you have a lift at all? Your front will probably start sagging due to the ARB & Winch.. I'd say spend your next money on a 2 or 3" lift (Old Man Emu 3" lift is good for starters), and then get some nice tires.. I recommend either BFG All Terrians or Mud Terrains.. if you're doing a lot of highway driving and want a more comfortable ride, go with the ATs.

[UAdiscovery2]

i dont have enough money to get a lift and new tires right now. but i do have enough to get a leveling kit which will stop the sagging in the front until i can get a lift.

instead of getting a leveling kit....if you are sagging in the front, buy some DII rubber spacers and throw those in under the front springs. They are $14 each so they wont break the bank.

If you dont plan to be doing any rock stuff, your next priority should be a lift, followed by some good tires. Getting your vehicle higher up will give you more clearance over obsticals and increase your approach, departure, etc. angles.

Thanks a ton man, i will definately order those instead of spending $280 bucks on a leveling kit.

hopefully they will do the trick.....0.5" increase with two.....which is also the maximum that can be used in each.

Geez...for $280...you could get some BB's from DAP....give Steve a call and see what kind of deal he can give you on a set of 4 BB's...2" lift. Then save up for some new shocks to go with them.

[UAdiscovery2]

yeah

yeah...thats right....BBs and procomps right? Yeah, probably the biggest bang for the buck....from what ive heard, I dont trust procomps, but many people have no problems with them.

DAP probably carries the rubber isolators too.
