Nice Jeep I am almost 16 and haven't done anything as ambitious as you. I love working on my jeep but it is truly just a daily driver to get me to school and I cant really justify spending money on a lift and shocks because I have to pay for classes at the local state college. Basically my jeep gets basic work and anything I can do for cheap or free. Great work though cant wait for the time to do something like this.
im 17 and kinda in the same situation as you. I am doing stuff slowly to mine. A little here and a little their. I jut put a new sound system in mine.
- 4 new kicker KS5250 speakers
- new JVC KD-HDR20
- new 12"inch jl audio sub
here is the build thread for the sub install

-new spark plug wires
-new distributor cap and rotor
-new air filter
-new radiator hoses lower and upper
-new heater hoses
-new thermostat...the old one came off in three pieces
-new rear brake cylinders
-new tires 235/75/r15 bfgood-wrench rugged trails

Runs like a champ! Finally!
i couldent figure out why my jeep was running so crappy! it was getting horrible gas mileage! it would bog. when i would tromp on it it would backfire. it wouldent start right... it felt like the timing was all jacked up... and sure enough my distributor was worn out. the teeth were like razor sharp on one side of the gear and still a little squared off on the other side, so there was tons of play in the gear thus retarding my timing, making my brand new rebuilt motor run like ****! dropped in a new distributor that i picked out of a 96 cherokee. and it runs AWESOME it runs smooth and has soooo much power i can actually burn off my 31" Bfgs no prob! best 27 bucks ive ever spent!
