Winch? Tow hooks? Brush/Bull Guard? Injector upgrade. NP242 if you need the Full-Time 4WD.


You could probably do the 4.5L low buck simple stroker if you do a lot of the work yourself with that cash. Have roughly 260/320. Or do the poor mans and have 225/300.

ive been wanting to do an exhaust as well, ive heard some really nice sounding cherokees but ive never really found out what they've had on 'em, i know i could do a lot of searching to find out what sounds good. I dont want to put a flowmaster on mine, but i do want a high flow cat

Unless you get a steal,air locker is what youll get.Not air lockers. Rustys has a nice regearing kit with an arb air locker(no pump) for around 1100.I would say..... 4:10 or 4:56 regearing(front and rear) and go with an aussie and supererior axles in the dana30.Start by strengthening your weekest link.High pinion dana30s are a cheap upgrade to the low.
