Update:
Got 31" pro comp extreme mud terrains on my jeep
Went to junk yard and got a new to me front seat to replace mine that's ripped, I got a stock intake for my jeep because I bought it with an uncovered cold air intake and don't want to hydrolock, so I got the stock one and will eventually snorkel it
I got a tow hook, and I got a visor clip to replace my broken one
All that for 45$
Pics to come!

@unidentifiedbomb
I was going to do the cowl but decided to just go with a snorkel, I'm going to eventually get bumpers and will be getting wheel spacers soon.
@articul8
Next on the list-wheel spacers, snorkel, and windshield
Then it will be bumpers and wheels
Eventually it will get a bigger lift, around 6" long arm, but my job at subway and with school that will come in years haha
I got a skid plate today and will be installing the stock airbox, ill take pics

I just found a skid off of a Cherokee at a pick n pull, it felt pretty heavy and was only 20$ and sure beats nothing. Haha it looks like its an engine skid, protecting things like the alternator and various other components around there haha I'll take pics later

As far as ur idling problem is it running rich and acting like it has a came if so u might be missing a hose that goes from the intake to the map sensor on the fire wall
