5k hmmmm

1) TJM Dual battery setup
2) Winch
3) Custom sliders with bars that follow up along the fenders to the front TJM for all this nice East coast brush.
4) Regear to 4:88's with dual ARB's, with 33's with new wheels
5) Get Demello to make a copy of BruceTS's rear bumper

Probably more than 5k, but these are the plans for the future.
