OK folks, well after looking at my moderately built XJ for about 4 months now, I have decided to purchase a second vehicle which will allow me to go nut's with my Jeep. I want to turn it into a recovery vehicle. Now what that boils down to is I want my jeep prepared for everything. I have already decided on my basics, but I'm sure I have overlooked something. Here is my list, let me know what you think, and what you would add to it. Keep in mind, I don't have unlimited resources, so if you suggest a $5000 addition, I'm gonna let you know it's not gonna happen...
1. 6" lift
2. 33" tires of some sort
3. 10 gallon water tank/air tank
4. 2 Highlift jacks
5. Fully stocked tool box/w pneumatic tools
6. Welder of some sort
7. Misc. spare parts (since I run with other XJ's, it will be mostly XJ parts, however I will throw in some universal parts) Suggestions?
8. Multiple tire patch kits
9. Winch (front and rear)
10. Fluids of all varieties -brake, coolant, power steering, tranny, blinker
11. Hoses and tubes
12. Standard recovery gear bag (d-rings, pulleys, extra rope)
13. More to come...
Now, I know I have missed something, so please feel free to add any suggestions, or even add your list of things you would want on your recovery vehicle. Tell me things you have seen on other recovery vehicles. Also, any suggestions on bumpers, wenches, roof racks, lightbars, and other upgrades would be appreciated. Thanks guys in advance.
This is what I already have:
1988 XJ Laredo
3 1/2 lift
32" swampers
stock rims
rock sliders
CB radio
Also on a side note, I am trying to find the tutorial about using your stock antenna mount as a CB antenna mount, but after reading it the first time, I can't seem to find it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as well...
