So last year I picked up my MJ for 700 it runs but has some issues

its a 2.5 4cyl TBI

 

so far its got a fresh coat of rattle can OD green.

 

here is my list of things I plan on doing:

 

SYE HD

4" to 6" Lift

(not sure yet on SOA or SUA yet opinions would be helpfull)

 

New rear leafs

(question is there such a thing as a leaf to coil conversion?)

 

Rims and Tires

( have 31" land terrains on it now that are brand new, only thing i could get to make it the 400 miles from where i picked it up back to my house)

Bed roll bar with over cab bars and a roof basket and 4 lights mounted

 

In bed tire carrier mounted on Bed roll bars near the rear of the bed

 

Any other ideas you guys have on what else's i can do to make it more trail and daily driver ready?

Clayton's makes one for the XJ.

Rock Krawler makes on for the XJ as well.

 

However neither will work on the MJ....

The MJ and the XJ back halves are different.
