what's the overall plans for the jeep when its done?

alright im installing a 3" rough country lift on it to go along with the 1"body lift on it know.  and then in a few more weeks im gonna put a old set of 33" Goodyear MTRs or so on it.  Then hopefully im gonna get my dad to help me with building a set of front and back bumpers along with rock sliders. that way i will be able to do alittle bit of playing around
