Mods, Mods, Moab, Mods

So being as im turning the big 2.1 this May. I thought, what better way to spend it than with an awesome group of people who share the same love for an awesome vehicle, while doing some off roading in Moab.
So for the last 71 days I have been on the phone ordering parts left right and centre. Everything from rock sliders to safari lights. Go BIG or go home right? :thumbup:
So heres my list so far:
Super Sliders - Rocky Road
Rear Diff cover - Rocky Road
K&N Air Filter - JB's Power Center
Safari Roof Rack - JB's
2 SR series 6" spectre LED flood lights - Rigid Industries
Cobra 75 wx st - Local Truck Stop
Next Week - 5 new all terrain tires and all around fluid change
Anything that im missing?

Wow, it's gonna look great! I want you as my $ugar daddy! :laugho:

Did you review the "Moab prep" lists on the site here? There's a bunch of info, you can kind of pick and choose what you decide to bring.

Right off the top, you should consider getting some good shackles and a tow strap.

I'm guessing a bunch of things that used to be in your bank account...

I heart light bars... been eyeing a 32" vision X light bar for a while. It's unbelievable how much a fancy light bulb can cost.
