Chip or not to chip??
I was wondering how do I get the most from my jeep??? I have the 4.0L and she does move but the gas milage SUCKS! You always see and hear chips are the way to go...but, I'm not sure. Does any one know of a good "cost friendly" way to improve the all around performace of my jeep?
And what are the best web link to go to to get "decent" products for decent $$$??

X2 cold air intake. Add a low restriction exhaust will also help power and mileage.
Used to live in Bradon a decade+ ago. Can't say I miss the weather, but the people there are great.

foot off petal...hummm...that maybe easier said than done. 
i didn't even think about exhaust...if i put flowmaster on my JEEP won't it sound like those "fast and furious" rejects?? Cause I don't want it to sound funny. I was actually geeting ready to ready rid of my air filter and maybe put a nice K&N?

Get this exhaust from Jegs. Doesn't sound bad at all and at only $142 it's cheap AND currently has a $75 rebate. Ordering mine this month.

As far as "chipping"...is it even available? Again, coming from my car a good reflash is one of the best things you can do.
