yes, I want your opinions: good and bad...

alright guys, I live in Boone, NC right now and I want to prepare my rig for URE and tellico. I want your opinions for what I should do to my Jeep next:

Here are the specs. 98 Jeep Cherokee Sport.
8.25(29spline) and HP D30 with 4.56 gears-open
33's right now, soon to be 35 X-terrains unless someone tells me otherwise.
RE 5.5 kit with Drop brackets
Winch Capable ARB bull bar
RigidCo rear bumper and Swing away being shipped as we speak
Hi-lift and tow staps
Kargomaster roof rack in the garage used for camping trips.
SYE with Driveshafts
Bushwacker Flares (gonna try and leave em on)

All of the mods I want will come eventually, but my question to you is how would you put them in order.

-Warn M8000 winch and Snatch Block
-Rear Locker
-Rock Sliders
-Intake and Exhaust
-On-board-air
-Skids and better than stock Diff Covers
-Rear Disk Conversion
-Better Steering
-D30 truss

Keep in mind, I want a trail truck for camping and enjoying moderate to advanced trails. I am not cutting up my Jeep, and not caging it...yet. I would still like to drive it on the road. Help me out.

Rock sliders
Skids/diff covers
Locker
Steering
Truss
Rear disk
Winch
Intake/exhaust
OBA

-Rock Sliders
-Skids (TRANSFER CASE) and better than stock Diff Covers
-Rear Locker
-Warn M8000 winch and Snatch Block
-Better Steering
-Rear Disk Conversion
-D30 truss
-Intake and Exhaust

I would bet everyone will agree on Rock-sliders, skids, and locker. Those are a must... well the first two are a must, the locker will give you the biggest bang for your buck.

I believe the rest kinda depends on your budget, driving style, terrain, and how much you Wife or GF (or both) will let you spend.

My list, based on priority of most bang for your buck, and why:


Rock sliders (protect your unibody)
Skids (protect your drivetrain)
Winch (extract yourself)
Locker (get further up the trail unassisted)
Steering (be able to turn)
OBA (inflate your own tires)
Intake/exhaust (increase power/mileage)
Rear disc conversion (improve stopping power)

thanks for the opinions so far guys.

Anyone else could feel free to join in.
So far everything is helping.

I don't want to start a giant flame war, but x-terrains suck in all terrains.

Get some trxus M/T's.

ok. I appreciate it. I was not aware they were that bad.

I agree, X-terrains suck...I've been very happy with my trxus M/T's...I'm on my second set.

I agree with rockrails, skids, then locker.
