An update since page 3: still not back to a Jeep yet, I know
I am actually coming up on 5 years of owning this rig, which is a record for me owning any car.
OEM4.56 Gears, front/rear E-Lockers, 4:1 t-case, cast iron diffs, 5-speed manual transmission, 3.7L inline 5-cyl
Mods-Added a 12.5K winch
-Jay rework the bumper and add a skid plate when he was back at Chanda
-Put on some 16x10 Mickey Thompson classic lock rims wrapped in 35" Toyo's
-Installed 4" Ranch lift plus RS9000XL adjustable shocks myself
-Dave over at Broken Axle put in some stainless brake lines for me and a new front CV
-Added a snorkel after soaking my air filter one day, lol
-Switched to MasterPull Synthetic winch line
-had the fenders sprayed with line-x... ended up doing the rest of the truck top to bottom to cover up all the scratches more recently
Future?Not sure, maybe an exhaust system at some point. I wanted to change out the front lights as well, these ones were put in temporarily when Shaw GM melted down my nice ones by turning them on with the covers on and I just haven't gotten around to replacing them. Overall I've really been loving the setup as is and the engine and drive train is still all stock. No major trail break downs in the last 3 years or so, so things are working properly finally. The Rancho suspension articulates really nicely and it just seems to flow like water over top uneven ground which has made up for the longer wheelbase.
Here is a photo from the Urban X SW store grand opening about 2 weeks ago:

(Disclaimer: at a designated crossing that was open, lol)Anyway, wave when you see me on the trails... I will wave back, not all Hummer owners are dicks, lol!
