Pretty much everything was optional on these things. Only thing outstanding is that 2001 models were all 4.0L in the US. No 4cyl that year.

And I got one. Woohoo. Also realized it came with a factory trans cooler.

No I think it is to much I don't want it to rub on the inside when I turn? I'm new to this and I really don't know what to get
