Cool thread! Mine is pretty simple (if not rather long- who's isn't?):
1- Fix cooling issues (radiator, 180F thermostat, and new coolant temp sensor sitting in the garage waiting for it to get above freezing for me to do a flush and install)
2- Resolve 3 amigos- already lined up with the shop to do "option b" and test wheel speed sensors from there.
3- Clean up the interior/exterior- deep cleaning of the interior, rewrap the steering wheel, sort out the drivers door card where the alcantara is worn, replace clock and ODO lights, fix coin tray, new E brake boot, fix glove box, replace B pillar cracked part, replace cluster surround and get a couple new light switches, install new headlight washers, fix OEM foglight mounts, install battery tray, replace rear step strut, and whatever else I'm forgetting (I have most of the parts to do all this, I just need better weather and time to get it done).
4- Head unit replacement- nice part is this will only cost a couple hundred bucks to be done really well with bluetooth and all that (assuming all the speakers work).
5- Maintenance- tranny, t case, diffs, probably power steering
6- Put together a tool kit that will live in/on the vehicle for obvious reasons.
7- Drive the darn thing!
Pie in the sky if I end up having the disposable income would be:
- CDL (yep, I got the nipple in my '01)
- winch bumper (if I decide I want to start taking it proper off road)
- I guess some lights for the bumper due to the OEM lights struggling a bit with being useful
- small lift and some armor

2017 went well for all my LR’s, Old Faithful got a handful of off road upgrades (all free minus the Harbor Freight Winch). LR3 got some aggressive M/T’s at the end of summer, and 04 D2 project got Option B taken care of (took me like 30min), swapped out a crazy acting XYZ switch on it, and thats about it!
2018 wish list:
I’d love a metal D2 bumper for Old Faithful, and it would be SUPERB if I could get the 04’s silly low pressure at warm idle solved. Then the 04 would be completely showroom inside/out minus a few dings & scratches from it’s previous mall life, and LR Loaner/Rental status haha. Maybe a set of Aux LED Round lights for Old Faithful, but I’m so happy with it’s LED Headlight/PIAA Fog’s it would be more for looks vs function.

2018 Wish list. In no particular order.
CB radio.
Couple more tow straps.
Driving lights for front bumper.
Extended brake hoses.
Roof rack.
Small chainsaw, for downed tree removal.
High lift jack.
Gas money to haul the rover to different locations for wheeling.
Time enough for doing all of this.

Oh boy my list is huge. Lol. 1rst is a scanguage to keep my paranoia at bay, than grab a couple parts trucks to fix up the interior, get some running boards so the wife and kids can actually get in and out on there own, and some time in the garage to build bumpers and fix odds and ends.
Make steering stops or get wheel spacers to stop tire rubbing, redo or paint headliner, get a spare set of heads redone for the inevitable gasket job. Might just to it proactively if time allows.
