Jeep Cherokee Forum - Help on ZJ/XJ(JEEP) Build

i currently have a 98 laredo v6 that i've had a few years & i love it. it has 213k on dash but wen i bought it the guy said engine had around 50k, seeing how it had 173k on dash then i just guessd around 80k now. its still very cleaner then any engine i've seen thus far on a car ---JEEP-- of its age. I had planned on "restoring" it making sure no rust wud come thru anywhere. but now im thinkn i wana XJ 2do instead because its getting difficult trying 2 replace this driver door :wallbash: cheap anyway, im paying 700bucks for a dam door but anyway,,, i wana EVENTUALLY, not @one time but hopefully within the next 2years, replace all the pieces/parts under the car..drivetrain & all.. i dont know too much (@all) bout that stuff but i catch on to most stuff pretty fast..SOOO this i what i wud like some help on....i want new parts for functionability(<<not a word)) & look rite?? so i kno there are some parts where i could just use some elbow grease n sand & use this stuff to get that nice new car look and keep it rust free?? http://www.tptools.com/p/1658,233_Rubberized-Undercoating.html

i found this stuff for the underbody too

idk if this stuff is meant 2b used on jeeps but i found this catalog for this company b4 so,,???

ALSO,, what parts shud i do 1st?? i dont have much on budget but i still wud like some clear direction on what 2do 1st. i want a 3in lift & 2in adjustable coil over spacers, cold air intake, new exhaust tires etc. but i dont want to waste time/effort goin back & forth..[ex: if i get lift kit,mite as well do brakes/rotors rite?{stainless steel extensions for 4.5in kit rite} shud i just work on 1 side of car @1 time?Left/Right?per each tire? etc it sounds like much but i like 2 get stuff done & the ppl on THIS forum seem 2 as well..i appreciate the upcoming feedback :detective::wheelchair:
