LOL, I was about to say that same thing. It's a special time in a Jeeps life when the mods begin, but your wallet wont like it much.

yep.. As one of my co-workers says, its a sickness, and the only cure is to eliminate the cause. He had a Dodge Charger SRT8... He bought it, and immediately put in another $10,000 in modifications.. My mods have not been that much.. To Date, here is what I have done, considering adding anything that was not origianlly on the Jeep:

Front Tow Hooks
Rear Tow Hook
CB
Antenna
2.5 inch lift
1.5 inch wheel spacers (Still waiting on these)

Whats next you ask? Don't know.. depends on what I can find!!

35's will work. That's what I have w/ stock gears, but you'll notice the power loss and forget about using OD if you want more than 15mpg.
