Mods on the shelf

Last week JD started the "what mods do you have" thread... now its time for "what mods do you have on the shelf?" I'll start:

Pro Comp 2" shackle level kit
Get stock track bar modded to be adjustable
5" MBRP exhaust tips
Try to re-adjust passenger side tail pipe down to match driver's side
AIC install
GPR LED
6.0 trans cooler (w/tranny flush and hopefully a JW VB install)
Clean intercooler out
Replace CCV hose
Hutch/Harpoon (not looking forward to dropping my 50+gallon tank)
New up-pipe gaskets (thanks Ron!)

I think there's more, but that's all I can think of right now.

R and R the driver's side hub and needle bearing.
White LED lights that come on when you enter and exit - shine on the steps of the running boards/bars.
Utility Lights for the bed.

Not necessary "on the shelf" yet because I need to buy them...
But I need to replace my sway bar links

You guys are reminding me of the crap I was forgetting!
Hook up EBPV on a switch
Get/install new sway bar bushings
Fix that effing squeak in the steering wheel
Windshield needs replaced

I won't even get started on the "I'd sure like to do that someday" list...

I've got a couple of things here waiting........

-Marineco plug for the block heater (had that since the first of Jan. just haven't gotten around to installing yet)
-Regulated return, waiting on a delivery from ITP, should be here tomorrow, and then I will have all of the parts together for it. Then I just need to get the brackets made for the filters under the truck and get some bolts for that as well.
-Schaeffer's transmission fluid
-Schaeffer's gear oil

Will do, I just need to find the correct lights that suit my fancy. Believe it or not, the little ghetto ricer lites from Autozone may be a suitable candidate for this. Kind of like the ones that mount to the windshield washers or something similar. I figure I can tie into the dome light so when I click my key fob and the lights come on, the steps can be lit as well.
