It is now time to think about my next steps after the recommended maintenances.

1- Any batteries recommendation? Any links?

2- Goal 1: 40’s tires (40x13.5R17) with at least 2” lift.
a) Will 2” be enough. If not, recommendations?
b) For a poke style, what wheel specs would you recommend? Brand/model/link?

3- Goal 2: 2 man soft top, soft doors to 4 man hardtop hard door conversion. Although the quality and convenience is there, I simply can’t stomach the price for each items, let alone the total cost for current aftermarket options. I will have to make my own.

4- other goals
- 24v to 12v conver
- AC : recommendations?

5- any other recommendations?

Thanks!

1) Personally I am running these batteries, but there is a little debate as to stick with the military 6T series or use civilian sizes. I am not a purist, and the group 24AGM have been working great for me for years now.

2) A)39.5x13.5 will fit without any lift, so 2" lift with 40" is plenty.
B) no idea

24f $69 dollars at WallyWorld/Walmart. It’s like they’re giving them away.
