42RE i believe.
the stock automatic.
To me it seems like the same cost, time, and modification for either swap. So having a 5 speed in my eyes would make that decision of which to swap in.

I'd say AW4 since there isn't a shifter that goes into it, just cables like the 42RE, and no missing TCU BS. Popular swap I think. Might wanna ask the ZJ crowd lol

I get decent mileage (17 averaged) so probably 12-13 city and 20ish highway. Is it worth it to replace the O2 sensors, or wait until I see drop off? Just looking around at some things that are plug & play replacements as my ball joints are a little in depth to be done right now. Just spent 20 hours lifting the jeep, and don't feel like getting my hands dirty again yet, ha ha. Mainly wondering if there is anything that can get torched due to a slowly dying sensor set?

Yes
They're pretty much useless though. If you need a rear anti-sway bar you should find a bigger one. Otherwise you probably won't even notice it's gone.

Anyway they're only required if you do a lot of towing or racing. A number of XJs left the factory without them. They're not as important on leaf-sprung axles as they are with coils, and the stock one is so small it might as well not even be there.

Addco and Hellig come to mind. Both are substantial upgrades, the Addco one is monstrous.
