Here is a list of the performance modifications I have done (with the help of some buds) on my toy so far:

- 4" Skyjacker suspension lift w/ sway bar disconnects
- 33"x12.50" ProComp Mud Terrain's on 15"x10" ION wheels
- Borla header
- Dynomax exhaust
- K&N cold-air intake
- Detroit TrueTrac limited-slip

Some more extras:

- Manik front bumper and brush guard
- PIAA 525 Plasma Ion fog lights
- Xtreme tail light guards
- Lund bug deflector (really helps break up the wind on the freeway from blowing directly into the windshield)
- Bestop soft-top and full soft doors (hard-top and full hard doors are factory)
- Custom sound system (see page 3)
- Factory 5-speed 4.0L in-line 6

I put my winter tires on the factory wheels but only for a week because the lack of offset on the factory wheels made it difficult to drive above 55mph...

My winter set up with 4" of backspacing widens the stance and provides better stability (33x10.50 BFG A/T's on 15x8 Cragar wheels) wish I woulda gone with the 12.50 on 10's though...

Whats up man, Congrats on the purchase. Im sure youll love it! I like my Bov a lot, Im actually going to have a Fmic setup in another week or so, I bought a universal welded pipe that has the Hks flange on it, so if you would want I could sell you my CPE Flange for $30 shipped because I wont need it. It cost me like $60 shipped on CPEs site. You could find an Hks Bov on this site where I got mine for $200 shipped, I paid less but thats the price now http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/home.php?cat=358 They are a great company, or you could find one on ebay. It sounds great, Im not recirculating mine though, so its louder. All you need is a pair of collar ring clamp pliers (cant remember exact name), I had to buy a pair for $12 from the auto store, and then I had to get a vacumm line for $2 and that was it for the install. I bought my wheels on ebay about 4 years ago for my eclipse, they were cheap on ebay, you could find a set on there for around $450 shipped, get 114.3 5 lug wheels with like a 40-45 offset. I just got some new rims with a 38 offset, which will make them sit out farther, stock is 48 or 52 I cant remember, but they sit inside the fender too far for me. Let me know of any questions or if you want the Bov flange, I could put it on my ebay store when I take it off or if you want you could just pay me through Paypal. Let me know of any other questions youve got on the car! Nice jeep too Ive always loved those, I would get some 35s and have a blast with it!
