cheap to no $$ mods?

[wolfpackjeeper]

clean stuff. Always a good idea. I cleaned the heck out of the undercarriage and engine bay of the commanche today.

I say lights as well. Cheap, easy to install, and will come in handy more often then you would think. People like the glowing jeep to be in front on a twisty trail :sunshine:

If you run a lot of vertical trails and have an automatic, I highly recommend the 1-2 tranny lock and the torque converter lockup.

You know how your transmission can be shifted into "1-2" (bottom of the shift pattern)? Well, this mod will let you select between 1st and 2nd gear with a switch. Locking the torque converter will allow you to use your engine compression to brake like you would in a manual tranny. So... if your torque converter is locked, you're in 4 low, and your manually shifted into 1st gear, you can creep down a steep hill without riding your brakes.

There are a ton of good writeups on this mod. Just search mod tech for threads with shift* in the title and then tell it to sort by number of views, descending.

You can't tell at all in person either. I think he just used tinted clear you just tape off what you don't want to paint and sand it with a fine sandpaper and spray the tinted clear on it and BAM it looks better!

Good junkyard upgrades: V8 ZJ tierod setup, add a factory rear sound bar, add cruise if you don't have it (lots of writeups out there), different wheels if you like another set better, adjust your throttle cable (free and easy).
