next upgrade?

I have amy 97 T with tires, rims, sway bar disco's and a K&N. What should I do next? I use it for little rock, mostly mud and trail. I am thinking locker in the rear but I would like to get a couple of different opinions.

I am assuming you lifted it already and the tires are nice and big? How about a winch? I know lots of people talk about how it helps others and you don't always use it but a winch is one of those tools you either absolutely don't need or you need it more then gold. just a thought, AL

forgot to mention that I have a 9000 Warn that I just need to get a mounting plate made for it. I also have an Optima red top. I went with 31x10.5 BFG MT's on 15x8 AR-767 rims. No lift. May go with the budget boost still but I will hold off. I haven't found a big need for altitude yet.

Natural how bout oil pan protection? I know I dinged mine up pretty good down in Paxon Lake area this past summer.
I have a detroit True Track in the rear of my Jeep and its been great. I just posted some thoughts on Lockers in a thread bout them earlier. If you wanna take my Jeep for a spin to see how it works let me know I should be free this Sunday..

Hey did you buy your Winch up here? I'm afraid to ask about shipping cost? lol...
Happy Jeepn

Skids plates would be what I would do...

dakuda,
how do you like the body lift?

**dakuda** · 01-20-2004, 12:20 PM

I dont have a body lift, its a budget boost. The coil spacers on the suspension. I like it though. Got it for $220 w/ upgraded (DT-3000)shocks and no shipping. easy to put in , cheap, and all I can manage $-wise for a bit.

Yup...get the oil pan skid, that is the way to go. I just ordered one from Jason at redrock. I should have ordered it long ago, but I was blinded by my lift and mudders.

Maybe even look into some differential skids.
