Skip the Kkm. If anything just keep the stock filter and do the airbox mod. Or better yet get a k&n drop in filter and leave the ducting alone (stock setup is already good at bringing in cool air)

Thats what I've been thinking, since it will save me some money and still draw in more air. I'm just thinking should I get a used air box. Just incase I mess up and I dont want to void any warrantys. But still with buying an entire airbox or a K&N filter it would still save me $100

I would also add an xcal tuner for when you do the gears, that way you can correct the shift points and Speedo for both the tires and the gears.

You might be perfectly happy with just the Spartan locker and stock gears. So you could do that next along with the treadwrights and you'd be well prepared for offroading.

I was considering just the locker and maybe gears later. Starting in august I'm going to a trade school on auto service / repair. And maybe after I go through that I can do the gears on my own and not have to pay a shop to do it. Also I've been back and forth on the BWM switch. But I'm not soldon it so I didnt add it to my list
