X2 on that. yes thanks.
Mine is not a DD either. I will use it to get me and my 4 wheeler to and from the duck club, take me and the kids trail riding, and use for camping and hanging out with my peeps @ midsouthjeep.
So you would not do the LA kit and I am wondering for a couple hundred more should I go to 6.5? In reality I wont be rock climbing, just off-road trails, ok and maybe some car crushing...lol ok not. I will need it to go down the road Nov-Feb without falling apart though...

Here is what id do. RE 4.5 coils RE heim joint trac bar, superflex lower arms, a 3.5 inch pack with an extended shackle. Longer rear line and relocated front brake lines. 32s or small trimming and 33s....you pick your shocks...with basic shocks your only in about 750 for a great suspension setup

Thx guys.
Got it from nismo5, great guy to deal with....i think he frequent the jy, pm him if he has any.
My initial plan was to paint it black but when they arrived, they were in brand new condition, never painted, no scratch nor chip just a little dusty, so i just left it as it is.....kind of like the contrast
.
But i did **** up the hood but it was my spare tho.

Cant say for sure but based on Ericxj, they are from 80' Chrysler LeBaron Turbo or New Yorker Turbo.
Those are sweet and fairly priced. They were on my list as i was having difficulties find some Lebaron vents (for cheap 
) until i scored a set from the for sale section few weeks back.
What do you think of these?
bamfxj's hood vents ($1.99 ea at lowes)
I plan on getting a set of these when I get some.
