Looks like you've done some reading already. What are your eventual plans?

I think for the most part I'm done "modding" or customizing it. I would however like to add some fender flares, but of course, seems like they don't exist. Also like to change the gear box to G80, might get into that sooner than expected, as I believe my front diff needs replacing. :facepalm:

I think we've all said that at one point or another. Then comes a new wave of parts.
