If your side markers don't already blink, alternating with turn signals. Here's a free mod. ( http://www.madxj.com/ )

the best mod. for any year jeep is mud. repaint along the side to the top of the fenders with mud, if you don't like it repaint all the way up to the roofrack. lol.
but seriously, injector upgrade is a cheap mod. mine cost about 35 bucks and i can tell a difference.

no modification needed. you just take the ones off your fuel rail and put these in. i paid 35 bucks shipped for mine. i can tell a difference from before. yours will need injector # 0 280 155 703. go to ebay. i think the guy's name is phantasticdeals555 or something like that.

mine has always had a fast start, so i didn't see that improving much, but yea, better economy and better response. mine is '99 so i got mine from 2000 dodge stratus, but anything prior to '99 needs'em from neon i think. the part # is 0 280 155 703

So what part numbers did you use (I got a 99) and where exactly did you get them from for $35.

This weekend I used herculiner on my fender flares. Looks great and tough! Was one of those things that you can drink and do at the same time too. Just need some tape and bedliner. That stuff is 90 a gallon, but you only need less than a quart and thats only 20. I painted my weather stripping too, as well as the gas door (wifes idea, but i like it) PProbably set you back 26 with the tape and the roller. Brings those flares back to life too. Im gonna wind up doing the whole truck eventually though
