Water proof engine, onboard tire inflation system, and much more but I would have to play the lotto again to buy the rest I want. Bullet proofed body upgrades and windows cost 500k.

I'd buy a welder and then fab a ton of stuff including a long arm system, bumpers, sliders etc. It'd be locked dana 60 front 14 bolt rear.. Cammed vortec 5.3l with 4L60E tranny atlas twin stick.. 40 inch tires. Oba. Full exo cage. Winches front and rear. And of course a huge American flag waving off the back.

A second economy car and then spend about $2 grand for a small lift, 31's and a decent welder. Or I'd use the money for college tuition for a semester.

then would be beadlocks and rubber. winch and bumpers, etc would come later.
