I've got my leveling kit, just too lazy to install it yet. An intake is next, and I think I'll be making my cat-back since I can make a stainless system with a really good muffler and still be cheaper than a cheap aluminized POS pre-fabbed setup. I know you all aren't into trucks, but

I am! I want another truck, but strickly as an offroad toy. Give me an old beater, a stong engine, 12" of lift and 44" boggers and Im a happy camper! Here was my ride before the SVT: 351 with single digit MPG baby! I guess I could blame that on the TSLs with stock 3.55 gears. Blah. I always wanted 4.10s. Notice the sign on the back window She always did look better with a good inch or two of mud covering her.

That was a nice truck I had a '96 Grand Cherokee Limited that was heavily mod'd and got 8-9 MPG on a good day, before my CSVT. With my leveling kit, I'm going to run 33's with room to spare. Since I'll only see light trail use every now and then, it's more than enough for a daily driver. For a 4X4 toy, I'd like something a little smaller like a 66-77 Bronco (lifted, but uncut) or a sweet CJ7

It's going to look very nice with 33" tires and a level stance. Not that looks are everything...but it does help. You thinkin' dual exhaust or a single pipe setup?

I like the side exit style like the Lightning for some odd reason. I think a single input, dual output muffler and some nice tips exiting at a 45* Rather than spend too much on an intake, I'm thinking about getting an ebay special that has the heat sheild already and add a K&N I have left over from my SVT Tuning will come next with an Xcal2. I honestly am doing all of this to bump the MPG up, it's just nice to hear the engine hum though If I can get it up to 20 MPG, I'll be stoked I am having a hard time finding any wheels that I want. I've been looking hard, but have yet to find something that I would replace the factory wheels with.... how sad is that!?

I always loved the Mickey Thompson Classic 2 wheels. They look great on ANY truck.

Once I find a style of wheel and tire that I want, I will give him a call
The MT Classic 2 is one style that I have been looking at, but I haven't been able to find too many examples in an 18 or 20. I like the look and think it'd look pretty sweet in a larger wheel.
