Default New member asks 4 help

Hi all, new to the forum. I own a stock 1998 Grand Cherokee Laredo & would like any advice on books, sites, or personal experiance on modifying it. I would like, in the next year or 2 to lift it 3 to 4 in, upsize stock 15's to 17's, & stick a brush guard on the front, all on a VERY limited income. What order would you all do these in, products you like, & websites or books that can help. Any & all advice is apreciated. Thanks from Brad5150.

first get a Haynes manual from auto parts store around $17 its your jeep Bible

second stay on this forum check out local neighborhood threads, update us on jeep build thread

third check Craigslist for used parts on bumpers lift ect. always great deals on cl and most important tool is the search bar on here and google.

welcome to the forum!

Milehigh, I haven't seen the soap commercial, but I've been a Broncos fan since I was in my teens. My dad, 1 uncle, & a grandfather who's past are/were Broncos fans too. Runs in the family. I live in Va. Dads been to MileHigh last year they used it. Also lived in Indy when the Colts won the 'bowl, so I'm happy he's playin for the Bronc's now. Not a NFL statiction, but will watch teams I dig. Was at a party when the Broncos beat Atlanta for the 'bowl, & was the only Denver fan there. Man, that was a fun night, watchen those Dirty Birds go down in flames!
