It's your Jeep you are starting with. This is basically a just for fun thread to see what you would do if you had an extra $6K meant to be spent on your Jeep.

LMAO - that is the biggest waste of $6K!!! She barks and chases parked cars. Besides, you could go to the Jersey shore clubs during the summer and find a million girls that are way better looking than Spitzers call girl and all you have to do is buy them a drink to get them to come home with you.

If I had $6,000, it would be about a quarter of what I want to spend. I want a Hemi and a D60 rear.

All kiddin aside, here's what you should do. Call David at Northridge. Tell him what you have to spend and what direction you wanna go with your Jeep. I couldn't think of anyone better to help you HONESTLY decide how to spend money on your Jeep. He will NOT steer you wrong.

X2!!!

This is exactly what I did 10 days ago. I already have my 4" Teraflex lift installed and the wheels and tires on. Dave gave me some well reasoned advice on how to stay within my budget, while working toward my ultimate goals. And, he made me a great deal.

My other piece of advice - a long arm is not necessary! Get the 8 adjustable flex arms and good shocks and go for the LA later if you still want it. I installed my 4" Teraflex Full Flex kit according to WOL's write-up, slapped on the 37" rubber, drove 10 miles, recentered my steering wheel twice, retorqued everything, and then drove 750 miles straight through at 75 mph with one hand on the wheel. Couldn't be happier, and I know it will great off road!

With $6000... I'd chrome out every piece that I could... put on 22" rims with low profile tires and put a 3" lowering kit on it to drop the JK right down to the ground!!!

Kidding... really...

I'd probably put on the Off Road Evolution front Coil over system $1550.00, Off Road Evolution rear Coil over system $3200, Rock Hard 4x4 Full Width front bumper $800.00... Then I'd have to use the remaining $450 to buy my girlfriend something so she won't be pissed that I tossed all my money into the JK!!!
