What would u do w/ $1000 bucks?

So hopefully with some luck I should be gettin some money from an Overseas trip and should be able to throw at least 1 grand towards the truck. I just thought Id ask for opinions on what you guys would do either suspension or performance. I just have a cat-back and intake. So, what would YOU do with $1000 to put into your rig?

Well I have a locker -OEM, just got some new A/Ts, I dont get off road as much as Id like but just want to do some good wheelin. And of course I want it to look good. SO I like your ideas with the sliders, and def. some lift.

Does just a good set of coil-overs help with that at all.

Coilovers are too much money. There are cheaper ways to lift it suspension wise.

But, Id go iwth the lift and tires with the $1000

Well if ya just got new tires and don't want to get rid of them anytime soon then there's no point in lifting right now, and you already have a locker.

Like everyone else said go with some armor in the form of sliders and bumpers.

Ohh gosh Id love too but I dont have the time or place to build one. Unfortunatley I dont go too often. I cant seem to find the good places. Anyone around here wanna pull me along on the trails with them sometime?

sliders and a nice brush guard and some lights
if you do any out of city driving at night on a regular basis then spot driving lights are great

Don't you mean an ARB with 4 100 watt lights and a 9K winch? Just kidding. I suggest a mild lift and some armor.
