Installed a Yakima roof rack with fairing and a Poweraid throttle body spacer. Also threw in some Quadratec floor mats. I took the Jeep out for a spin, and I can definitely feel an increase in throttle response. It also idles smoother and starts easier.

Also, my 33's are on backorder, so it might be a while before I get them. I'm waiting to install the Napier fender flares, and all my skids, until the tires come in so the Jeep can transform all at once. I also get some Bosch 4 hole fuel injectors, and I'm having a new Thrush muffler and exhaust installed as well very soon.

I got some Bosch 4 hole fuel injectors installed. I also got some HID/LED headlights with H4 bulbs (LED's are around the side, for parking lights) and a Thrush muffler, which is the same thing as a Flowmaster 40. Pics to some soon. The Jeep starts great, has better throttle response, and sounds great. I can't wait until tonight so I can try out these crazy headlights too.

Also, my tires were on backorder for so long, that I had to cancel the order due to the funds that were for the tires being spent. Oh well, I'll get them in a couple months, no problem. It's given me the time and funds to do all these little things I wanted to do like the exhaust, fuel injectors, roof rack, etc..
