i want a tank for a daily driver
this is my baby. but i want to build it to last, cause i plan on running it to the ground. its a slow build, but I'm picking away at it. its going to be flashy but its also going to be durable. heres what i got so far:
4.5" rubicon lift
33" federal couragia m/t tires
magna flow cat-back exhaust
rugged ridge cold air intake
banks header and aftermarket flange pipe
superchips flashpaq programmer
bushwacker fender flares

smoother acceleration, slightly faster acceleration, and slightly better fuel economy. the gains were very noticeable but the chip isn't a miracle worker, it just makes my jeep run better. with the tuning i can only use 91 octane gas. its all part of my plan to make my jeep last as long as it can while still having fun with it

Add lights, make it street legal, give it to my wife for a commuter. Figure out how to shed about a ton and run it on greasel, should be good.
"My 'crumple zone' is your car. Don't like it? Don't run into me!" Paint that on all sides with a three-inch stencil.

I'm in CA. If I wanted people to "stay the **** out of my way," I'd put an old-style cow-catcher on the front (like the Old West locomotive engines...) and paint the damned thing Signal Orange.)
