My list is quite long, I'd like to see:

- Anvil with same cv shaft for both sides
- lockers - always, automatic, or manual
- R&P gear selection
- full floating rear axle
- dual t-case
- yoke output t-case
- rid of the center bearing driveshaft
- rid of the rubber isolator joint on rear pinion
- swing up rear door window with split swing open rear tailgate ie. late model Astro van
- swing away tire carrier
- auto trans/engine curve adjustment
- front, rear bumpers
- nerf bars
- belly pan skids
- interior cage
- removable seat covers (leather preferred)
- supercharger
- diesel engine, n/a & turbo/intercooled optioned
- hi-flow cat-back exhaust
- non-pressurized front diff
- turn off/on DRL's
- turn off/on air bags (4wd low only)
- larger gas tank with less ground clearance
- better stereo speaker locations, with more speakers
- manual windows and door locks
- rid of the double hit lock system
- add power window/lock control to passenger front door
- and most of all rear theater seating, ie Xterra, providing rear seat passengers better front view (my kids need this)

So just a few points, most to all these can be done on my own, but I'd prefer to have it already designed in.

After I sent it, I re-read it and that didn't sound right. Make it "more ground clearance."

I'd like to see a set of replacement flares and floor board kit for trimming about 2" off the wheel wells. The flares would have to be shaped more circular too. The wheel openings now seem to have a straight spot near the bottom. Although this could be an optical illusion since I have the larger tires on. I'd like to be able to fit some 265/70/16s on but then I guess gears would be in order as well.

So fender and wells kit, and gears. Maybe an air locker, but under $300.00.  ;D
