I'm not goin to lie I dig the radial treps. If I decide to go to 35's they'll be my next tire. If I stay with 33's I'll keep the km2's cause they're the cats pajamas

So I need some help on what to do next. Spit balling A bunch of ideas here. Here's what I'm thinking of doing, just need to know what routes to go or not go or what first. Getting the top color matched the same as the body( It's already a color match top just not orange). Or just leave it black? The bumpers, sliders, and body armor are powder coated evo grey. So do I get the fenders color matched to the bumpers and fenders? or orange with the top? Or of coarse just leave them black as well. Also with the amount of heat that the 3.6l puts out I'm thinking of doing the poison spyder hood loovers and doing them evo grey. I just don't know if I can bring myself to cut a hole in my hood. But I here they do wonders for heat control. I need to do skids before OSRC. Also looking into doing A super charge kit, cuz even though I have the 3.6l it's still A gutless pig when I comes to driving on the road. I kinda really want to do a soft top and doors for it as well, and build some tube doors so that when I put the top down I can pull the doors also and put the tube doors on.

Also one thing I was really looking into then finally talked myself out of but could probably be persuaded back into is coilovers and bypass's. But I already have elka shocks with reservoirs and bump stops. But think how way up my BA mall crawler status would go up with them? Also everything i do to this thing just adds more and more weight. So any suggestions on how to cut some weight with out going hack saw on it would be great. I'm also looking into some head light options but haven't really been sold on anything yet. I'm also in need of doing A custom exhaust. I'd also like to get A programmer but there's just not much out for it right now.

Try to keep in mind price. If I did A super charger or coil overs, that would probably through everything else out the window. Except if I did the SC i'd probably have to to the hood loovers to cut heat. I think where I'm at now is doing the hood loovers, skids, and exhaust, soft top, soft doors, and tube doors. But still that's a lot all at once. I haven't actually really priced any of this out though either.

Any thoughts would be grrrrrr---8.:D

I always try to attack it methodically- what is going to make the jeep perform better. So naturally I would say hood louvres first. After that I say coilovers but only because I want your old shocks lol
