Default Im making a list and checking it twice

ok so im finally back in PR after a well deserved vacation in Orlando, FL.
ON the airport I picked up a JP magazine and there was an article on a cherokee called Project mileage master, that gave me an idea on a few things to do, so here is my list:

new thermostat 180F
new spark plus, with wires, cap, and rotor
new O2 sensor, (maybe if needed)
new fluids on the differentials
maybe some hood vents, but not right now, im a lil short on $$ so no need for a semi cosmetic, semi funtional mod.

ok, thats it for now, on the future I plan on spray paint the hole xj

if im missing somethin essential let me know,

Get a new ignition coil ..MSD makes a nice replacement that's far better then anything at the parts store..I'll get the part number for ya later on...I think summit might sell it. Might remove the restriction in the factory air box I think howler or someone has a how to posted..That would give better flow and also put in a new air filter..

A guy who occasionally comes here named thephantom I think runs that kits and loves it..but it is quite expensive..All you are paying for is that screamin demon coil...As for if it's worth the almost $200 price tag well depends...You could easily replace the factory coil, wires, plug, cap, rotor for much much cheaper and use an MSD coil, solid 8-9 mm wires, champion truck plugs high end cap and rotor..Just my opinion though..

Oh don't get me wrong that setup is gonna be top notch just to me not worth the cash..

here is the MSD coil I am getting and I strongly suggest since it's a direct replacement and much better then any OEM one you can get at a parts store IMHO.,,...
