i would be down for it if everyone else is? And i wanna take em off and trim now but i gotta get flares first and before i do flares i wanna fix my gas tank, and cowel snorkel.... i like those tj flares but i think im gonna go with nappier flares when i get the money in the mean time if i rip one off i rip one off

Option 1: Critical Path 5.5" Long Arm kit
Option 2: Make her run better than new; New injectors, wires, plugs, dist/rotor, brakes, all filters, diff fluids, trans fluid, seafoam, oil, cowl intake, flares, full exhaust and header, and some audio upgrades(6.5 speakers, cb, and possibly a sub) If there is extra Ill get TB, LCAs, and shackle relocation for a better angle
Seeing how capable she is now really is making me consider option 2. plus a bit more power can be just as fun as a bit more lift. Idk though give me your input?

Nice lol, so much project so little time/funds. I'll probably do the TJ flares but its no priority, I just cant figure out what I want to do with my tax money.

I would love to do it all, but its either the kit and pay some bills, or options 2, the audio stuff is only because I figure a lot of that stuff will be done by me or a with help from some of you guys so its really just materials. Plus I wouldn't mind a better sound system.
this is my pro list as i see no cons of both options
Option 1: Long arms are freaking awsome, added lift would be cool too, better ride. (but come on its a jeep, it doesnt need to ride like a caddy)
Option 2: probably a boost in mpg, more power, more comfort(audio, probably get retint) and an amazing running jeep. This will also probably be when I paint alot of my steering/suspension

When I do go up, Ill be running my tires until I save up for either 33s, or 35s and a regear. But I will definately let you know, and give a fellow CF member a deal. But first you must make it official and pst some pics of your jeep?

Haha that would be awesome. But seeing that i worked less than half a year and got about a grand last year, Im hoping to see at least 2 grand, being that Im at a lil higher wage, worked a full year, and worked longer hours.

hahaha but I like yelling over my exhaust.
I freaking hate desicions, I feel like which ever one i pick Ill be kick myself in the *** at somepoint. I just figure taking care of her should come first all the lift kit is going to do is allow me to do more difficult(stupid to some) things and chance hurting the beast, maybe Ill do option 2 and just get the lcas and Track bar, possible a coil space and shackle relocation and get her up to like 4.5. And honestly I've even considered waiting untill i can regear, lift, lock, and run 33s or 35s all at the same time, itll give me time to build my armor before I get to intence

I want to by a new muffler and hi flo cat just dont know what yet, Ive been thinking borla muffler but the only sound clips I can find are on a jeep compass with a 3.6. Ill let you know when I start all the maintenance stuff, ive been looking alot of it up and it seems pretty easy. the hardest thing Ill have to do is remove my intake and header to put a new header

ya lemme know when your gonna do that if you need help, i dont know if i will go as far with my muffler and all that... my top priority is a rear bumper and flares and gas tank, but i was talking to a mechanic friend i have and he said it might just be the O ring around that gas connection of top of the gas tank i think thats what he said? cause it only leaks when that back end is jacked up from what i can tell....toxin you saw that with your own eyes lmao
