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.
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?

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.

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?

whatever you do either way a cb should be on the list, but honestly i would wait on your lift untill you can get that and your tires

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

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

I definately saw that, then didnt see a damn thing for a few minutes. Im pretty sure its going to be option 2 for now. Im starting to price all whats its going to cost me, Injectors are freakin pricey anyone do the upgrade and recommend where to get them?
