First of all, thanks for the bigger pics 
If i had what you have (the ability to mod vehicles for fun and my viewer base), I would be in heaven!
If i could be so bold as to make a few suggestions:
GoLight 2021 in place of the PIAAs. Anyone can mount piaas on something. This is what the US (military) Army uses on their vehicles. I had 2 on my truck and i LOVE them. It's more in keeping with your recovery theme IMHO. Spendy, for lights, but AWESOME!
More of a functionality mod than a crowd pleaser, but you might wire in an air compressor and mount it to the tail gate. need one that runs on 12volt power, and can be mounted on the drop gate for access to air in the field. air up after mud/sand runs. Again helpful for the Recovery theme.
For the Snorkel i would addapt a cherokee kit as its in the right spot to make a straight run to your Plenum. I would also use a pre-filter on top.
If you are having a custom front bumper made, have them add some bent tubing for a stinger. this is a suggestion of stlye, not the product itself.
To go over board with the recovery theme you can go hog wild and adapt tip-out out riggers and a 3 ton vehicle hoist to the rock solid tube bumper you have custome built to put on the rear
it will need wrap around wings to cover the end caps you will have to remove of course...
That last one is overboard...
in ease of install i'd say golights, compressor, snorkel and in coolness of mod for the viewer I'd say snorkel, golights, air compressor in those orders.

A cherokee snorkel, any suggestions for brand? what about the pre-filter?
Any photos of these riggers?

We have some wheels already but dont want the salt to eat them and we are waiting on tires. They are ultra wheels.

I don't remember how the go lights mount exactly. But their real popular on trucks down here for the guys that hunt a lot so they can't be that hard to mount up.
And the wheels y'all are running (stock ones painted I assume) look good they just don't have enough offset for those flares.

golights come with a built in mounting plate. mounting plate mounts to roof. bottom left side
or put it on a 'box' mounted to your roof rack to push it up over the front bar and mount it to that. will look like of periscope-esque until the snorkle ties it in.
real lift looks promising... so long as it turns out like the Zr2 truck and not the blaZeR2 they showed. as much as they hyped the pic, it looks awful on the tiny tires it had
relocating the cross bar the t bars feed into doesn't sound like much fun though...
you said you had 33's on the pre-winter rims didn't you?
