First thing before driving my machine I trailered it to the Tire Shop and swapped the factory 4 Ply Tires for a set of Taller, More Aggressive, 10 Ply Tires. (235/85R16 Steel Belted Radials)
Next on my build was a Glass Windshield with Wiper, and a Steel Top. Check out Diesel Freak for both.
The OEM Side Steps from Diesel Freak were a must. Tall Tires PLUS HD Suspension = Need Steps
Next was Mirrors both Rear View and Side Mirrors.
A roll bar mounted set of Sun Visors. This gave me a place to store my Insurance card up out of the elements. The Sun Visors that I got needed to be both longer and wider.
I have Rocker Switch's on order at my local Roxor Dealer. Both Wiper and Light Bar.
My next purchase will probably be a Rear Bulkhead. I need to start closing it in for Winter. The Rear Bulkhead from Diesel Freak I believe is a Hard Cab.
After the Rear Bulkhead, Turn Signals will be the next upgrade. I drive in town enough that not having turn signals is not handy at all. Turn Signals and Rear View Mirrors are something you use all the time.
On down the list, not in any order:
Heater with Defroster
Doors
Light Bar
Bumpers with a Reese Hitch
Winch
Spare Tire Carrier and Spare Tire.
I have decided to skip Locking Hubs. I use Four Wheel Drive pretty much daily. Steep Hill on both sides of a creek crossing on a gravel road. Locking hubs would stay locked in anyway.
A Rear Locker is something I am still researching. Every vehicle we have owned for years has been Four Wheel Drive with a Limited Slip Rear End. I would like to get a Quality Locker or Limited Slip Unit that I will be impressed with the first time I install it. So far I have not looked for a Limited Slip Option.
Keep us posted on your progress.
