hey yall . im back again. i wanted to get yalls input on the order of stuff i should get for my fzj80. it already has factory lockers, 285 m/t's, ome 2.5" heavy duty lift, arb bumper. I have a birthday coming up and im wonderin what to get next. And after my birthday i will be saving money so i just need a list of stuff to get in order of most important to least.

some stuff im thinking of in no particular order is:
rear bumper with tire carrier
warn 9000 pound winch
yellow top battery
safari rack
slee sliders
hella lights
snorkel

give me some input and thanks ahead of time for all the suggestions. other ideas are greatly appreciated
 
SLEE SLIDERS
rear bumper
winch
In that order. The rest depend on your personal needs.
Cheers,
Sean
 
I agree that sliders are the first thing you need. Remember, the 80 is a long wheel base.

Next would be a winch. THen a rear bumper. Just my opinion and the order i'm moving.
 
Similar to Sean's suggestion, but w/a little more...

Sliders
Transfer case skid plate (got one yet?)
A way to deflate the tires -- I like my Stauns
A way to inflate the tires -- either CO2 or compressor (a big enough compressor)
Rear bumper
12000 Warn

And the rest in whatever order.
 
I would think the winch would be the next most important mod. Lockers will allready get you in places to need the sliders, but with the assurance you have protection from the sliders you are bound to get in places and get stuck. So i would want a winch next.

Good point, but I don't usually wheel too extreme by myself. The really hard stuff usually occurs with my buddies. In my experience, I've had someone either with a winch or able to give me a tug out of whatever I've gotten myself into.

A winch would be very nice if you wheel solo.
 
You will benefit much more from installing a second battery rather than just putting a yellow top in, in my opinion. I put a yellow top in my old tahoe, and it went dead just about the same, it wasn't anything amazing. It would have been worth the extra money and time to put in a second battery with a solenoid and/or switch.

I agree with the above, sliders are the most important, and install a new skid plate at the same time.
