Have had this '00 for about two years after i got in a wreck with my '94. put the lights on the bumper right away when I got it. Over the summer painted the wheels and front and rear bumpers to match wheels.

I have:
Pro Comp 2" front spacer and 2" add a leaf
4 Round lights

to put on was thinking of building my own light bar for it to get the lights closer to the front than the stock roof rack.

Wondering if you guys had any ideas for that.

So I just got a 2 in shackle as well for the back just looking for coil for the front then I just have to wait for this Winter thing to end so I can put this stuff on.

I am just not quite sure if I could get a coil from another vehicle from the junkyard or am i going to have to buy new ones

if you want to save some $$ and still get a decent shock, look at rought countrys 2.2 performance shocks.. I had some skyjacker nitro 4000 or whatever they are called and they were junk comapred to these.. huge piston.. much smoother ride... cost me 220$ for all 4 for a 6.5 inch lift... now if you want to spend more $$ the blisten resivour shocks 5100 or something like that are really nice.. like 420 for all four though

I dont think I will be do this stuff for a while now I seem to have had a little problem with a piston breaking into pieces as I was driving down the highway.

Anyone got a lead on an engine for a 2000 4.0 L

OR if anyone knows if I can change it from a distributorless to distributor style ignition system.
