How about replacing your sidesteps with rock rails?

Evap - RockHard skid at Northridge - bolted on nice - took all of 5 minutes, and looks/feels solid
JKS Discos - easy choice. I reco.

Intake - you don't need it
Flats - you already have a lift and you're only running 33's? You don't need em either, do you?

If youre going to mess with the intake, don't get a CAI, you'll ruin your engine real quick with one of those. If anything, get a K&N drop in filter. I got one and it works great.

As for the JKS discos, they're awesome. And I agree with Coley, you won't need flats with that set up. But if you really want them you can always just chop the flares and save yourself $500+

Poison Spyder evap skid. I put this thing on last month and man not only does it offer protection to the base of the evap box it protects it on all four sides and you gain something like 3/4" clearance as it replaces the stock evap bracket. It's so beefy I think you could hnestlt balance the entire JK on it without it bending!!

As for an intake. I agree with the previous poster. Upgrade your filter and maybe later add a snorkel. I'd recommend the AFE Pro 7 filter. I just ordered one and have read good things about it. If your interested in taking care of the "weak points" I wouldn't be adding an intake. Too many people hydro lock their rigs with the stock intake.

Good plan, if you don't feel that your rockers are threatened by your activities. For me, this was one of my first off-road trips in my then brand new Jeep (though I also had the TF QDs)--LOL ...









That's my son, Curtis, driving, BTW.

the only reason for the flats was for starting stage 2 and getting my 35s back on but im finding that for what i try and do in my jeep that the 33s are holding up just fine, so depending on what the lift and jks qd cost me an evap skid would go nice for now.

does anyone have any pics of a 2dr with 33s and the rc2.5 lift i would like to see some stance and flex shots
