What is your mod wish list?

I've only been a member at Yotatech for a short time but it's been a lot of fun being back with the Toyota 4x4 crowd. My first vehicle (I bought it when I was 15-before I could even drive it) was a 1977 FJ-40. Not only was it a great four wheeling vehicle it was the only one in my high school parking lot. I ended up having to sell it because the rust, mechanical issues, etc...were more than my pockets could bear. Now I'm back with my 1991 22RE Pickup and finding myself trolling the aftermarket parts sites again and lusting after various mods for my truck. Four wheeling really isn't the purpose anymore-firewood gathering and hauling and hunting is, but usually there's some mud involved in that too Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to list all of the mods on your "wish list"-what you plan to do to your truck or wish you could do. I'll start:

ZUK mod with 12" 150lb springs
Hellwig helper springs
30/9.50/15 MTs (probably Treadwrights)
15" Jegs D-window wheels
Rear tube bumper/receiver hitch
Front receiver hitch (for a winch or cargo carrier)
Winch
T100 brakes
Supra AFM
Headache rack
Auxillary lights
4:88 gears/limited slip
Bucket seats

I don't do any offroading, but I have a few odd mods that I plan to do someday:

5vze swap (already got the motor, transmission and various other parts)
-make tire swing/back bumper, to get spare tire out from under the back
-duplicate that under the bed storage box one guy made, with lockable latch
-add dual batteries, isolator.
-put in a 12v compressor with enough umph to run air tools (expensive) plus air tank
-put in a hose reel (in the under compartment) for air hose to air tools/tires
-Put in a nice inverter run mainly off the second battery.
-put in a hose reel (in under compartment) for extension cord from the inverter.
-build front bumper, similar to smittybilt style, with reciever hitch in it.
-put winch in reciever hitch, to be able to switch between front and back receiver, and to whomever needs to borrow it.
-key pad instead of key for the ignition switch (type in code and then press start)
-----backup key ignition remains in place
-keyless entry with trunk release wired to toggle rear window.
-hidden killswitch

and a few other things I cannot remember at the moment.
