I've got my leveling kit, just too lazy to install it yet. An intake is next, and I think I'll be making my cat-back since I can make a stainless system with a really good muffler and still be cheaper than a cheap aluminized POS pre-fabbed setup. I know you all aren't into trucks, but

I am! I want another truck, but strickly as an offroad toy. Give me an old beater, a stong engine, 12" of lift and 44" boggers and Im a happy camper! Here was my ride before the SVT: ![](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/476000-476999/476654_6_full.jpg) 351 with single digit MPG baby! I guess I could blame that on the TSLs with stock 3.55 gears. Blah. I always wanted 4.10s. Notice the sign on the back window ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif) She always did look better with a good inch or two of mud covering her.

That was a nice truck ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif) I had a '96 Grand Cherokee Limited that was heavily mod'd and got 8-9 MPG on a good day, before my CSVT. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif) With my leveling kit, I'm going to run 33's with room to spare. Since I'll only see light trail use every now and then, it's more than enough for a daily driver. For a 4X4 toy, I'd like something a little smaller like a 66-77 Bronco (lifted, but uncut) or a sweet CJ7

It's going to look very nice with 33" tires and a level stance. Not that looks are everything...but it does help. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) You thinkin' dual exhaust or a single pipe setup?

I like the side exit style like the Lightning for some odd reason. I think a single input, dual output muffler and some nice tips exiting at a 45* Rather than spend too much on an intake, I'm thinking about getting an ebay special that has the heat sheild already and add a K&N I have left over from my SVT ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ponder.gif) Tuning will come next with an Xcal2. I honestly am doing all of this to bump the MPG up, it's just nice to hear the engine hum though ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) If I can get it up to 20 MPG, I'll be stoked ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif) I am having a hard time finding any wheels that I want. I've been looking hard, but have yet to find something that I would replace the factory wheels with.... how sad is that!?

I always loved the Mickey Thompson Classic 2 wheels. They look great on ANY truck.

Once I find a style of wheel and tire that I want, I will give him a call
The MT Classic 2 is one style that I have been looking at, but I haven't been able to find too many examples in an 18 or 20. I like the look and think it'd look pretty sweet in a larger wheel.
Here's a Scab with 17's, a leveling kit and some Irok 33's
