Talking Red 2000 limited!!

First off, I'm Nick. Been lurking for about a month and decided it was time to start my build thread!! So I picked up a 2000 GC Limited..... So we got this about a month ago for my wife to mostly use and as the family mover. Well, I very quickly fell in love with it and remember my days in the desert when I was younger... and then the army decided to give me the 2nd part of my bonus.... So here we go.

Jeep:
~2000 Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7l

Suspension:
~Rough Country 4'' Suspension lift
  • Front: Coil springs, lower tubular control arms, bumpstop spacers, pitman arm, track rod bracket, transmission crossmember spacers, and hardware.
  • Rear: Coil springs, upper control arm bracket, bumpstop extensions, sway-bar brackets, rear shock relocation kit [Keeps shocks clear from tires], and hardware.

~Rough Country Perf. Steering Stabilizer
~Rough Country Adjustable Front Track Bar

Tires:
~Still looking

nothing to the motor yet.....

Had to start somewhere and figured this would be a pretty good start... Couldn't even wait 30 days before I had to lift it!!

Bone Stock: (yeah I know the running boards gotta go!)

I think that size is going to look fantastic with a 4" lift.
I have always preferred M/T's


What type of mpg does that beast get?
