That is one awesome 2nd gen Blue.
I think I'll print that list of mods and stick it on my fridge as to what I hope my newly purchased one will look like in a couple years.

I have alot of crossing off to do.

I would have to agree with everyone else... So besides the obvious...

"Dude....just slap a straight axle on it and lift it a lot"

I would say: Winch, Front locker/ARB's. Front and/or Rear bumper (beefy one)

what you need to do is go with a group, and have someone take some pictures of you in action. Maybe even go to...oh, i don't know, possible reiters?

Get a TJM T-15 or T-17 for the front end. Rock sliders on the sides and a custom rear tire carrier or get a welder so you can build your own.
Another mod you could possibly do is upgrade the front grill and lights to a newer 92-95 grill and lights.

I would go for a 3" drivetrain lift to match that 3" BL you have. Then you would have the belly clearance of 40-42" tires with your 35's. Not to mention totally smooth steel from framerail to framerail would be WAY sweet.

By drivetrain do you mean suspension? He already has a 4" susp. lift on it.

No, a drivetrain lift is when you tuck up the drivetrain either with or without a bodylift. Smooth belly helps in heavy wheeling. I compensate with big skid plates.

I would drop the bodylift to 1" and hang a solid axle if it is a wheeling rig.

Skidplates give piece of mind once you remember which one makes which sound.

Jayson is right on.

Big Bad Blue is Big Bad Blue because well its Big and if I were to remove two inches of my body lift I would be ummm a lowrider & that will not happen.

Uh yeah dude. Pretty sure I didnt say I could "wheel better" than anyone. Didnt mean to offend by calling factory height rigs lowriders. I apoligize. I didnt know I would hurt any feelings by kidding around. God I suck.
