[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 431552, member: 18789"] the options are endless. You can customize pretty much anything. LED lighting all over the place, bumpers, seats or seat covers, shift knobs, etc. The list goes on and on First thing I would do is make sure it runs right. If it's a 4.2L, it will be carbureted so you want to make sure it runs well. You might look into some of the 4.2 improvements like fuel injection conversion, nutter bypass, distributor upgrade, etc. If it's a 4.2L manual, it might be a BA10 transmission which sucks if so. Might want to look into swapping that. That all only applies if it's a 4.2L though and the last one only if it's a 4.2 manual. If it's a 2.5L, mainly just make sure it runs smoothly with no codes. If it's a 2.5 don't put giant tires on it unless you don't mind huge performance loss or don't mind paying a bunch of money to change axle gearing to make it drive decently again. Being in florida hopefully you won't have rust issues to deal with. Welcome to the Jeep world. [/QUOTE]
