So if a cruiser is used to fourwheel, but doesn't do rockcrawling type stuff, then you don't have to worry as much about the birfs? I'm a bit confused, explain. ???
$1200 to spend, on what though?

Oh I didn't see that it was a 100, yea since their IFS they've got CV joints. Thanks for clearin' that up.

Welcome to this list Robert!
Hopefully you'll find it more informative here than the "other" lists
Before you know it, you'll be set up with a snokel and 35" swampers -- you'll be running trails in Moab like this:

Damn, that ya truck, whats the specs?
As for what to buy for a 100...I do light wheeling with mine. I have 33 inch Goodyear ATS tires, and the factory rear locker. For what I do I find this is very effective. I run in mud, on rocks and dirt, while keeping it whimpy for streets...I'd really like a mud terrain tire.
Now my wish list has a lift or sliders at the top. I get scared going down ledges..don't wanna hurt rocker panels. I find that if I think I'll hit my bumper I will and go another way, which is why bumpers aren't on the top of my list. As for a winch...I think people have underestimated good tow hooks, a tow strap and a buddies cruiser.

OME lift and ARB or Slee the front. Keep it simple.

Having spent a whole lot of $$$ on mods, the ones I find the most noticeable (to myself and my wife) are the OME suspension+tires, upgraded brakes (performance pads, slotted rotors, stainless hoses, larger booster), ARB bullbar (wife loves the feeling of security), lower gears to go w/ the larger tires. After this, I'd say the rear bumper/tire carrier. It all depends on your use. My vehicle is a DD and sees mostly road miles (lots of road trips in the Southwest).
Check on the FAQ thread Most Effective Cost Modifications, it's a very good one that summarizes what a lot of the forum members have done to their rigs.
