Default My first Jeep!

Hello everyone, I've always wanted a Jeep and with a lot of saving I finally was able to purchase my first! I am now a proud owner of a 2002 Grand Cherokee Laredo. I can not wait to start with my customization. I have a few minor physical things to attend to first. I'm completely new to this so would anyone like to share some sites to pick up parts at a reasonable price? Much appreciated!

The jeep seems to be becoming quite a problem. When I first purchased it, it was having an overheating issue. I had the radiator thermostat and the dreaded fan relay replaced... I've already had to replace the fan sensor again and 2 days ago the radiator cracked. =/

So being broke sucks when you want to buy parts for your jeep. I need new tires and didn't want to get them until I lifted the jeep and bought new rims (mine are starting to corrode) what are the biggest sized aggressive tires I can put on my stock rims and stock height? Anyone know?
