Finally Back In The Game, with a question ...
 

So I ordered and placed a down payment on my new Jeep: '05 Rubicon Auto,
Impact Orange, Hard Top. This will be number 5 over the years, and cant wait
to get back in the flow of the group. Its good to see some familiar names
still, nice to know the community is doing well.
Anyways, as usual, wanted some opinions. I have a few grand I can spend
on dialing in the new Rubi, about $5k, although its flexible. What should be
first on my "must have" list? CB, Fire Extinguisher tow strap and First-Aid
kit are already ready and waiting, so what else should I get?

5K?? Winch bumper, winch, taller tires, some lift.
After you buy this stuff for me, you should have enough left for your cb and
stuff.

Well, I think the H4 headlight conversion, some rock crawler bumpers, Kilby
gas tank skid, and a 1" body lift are my first things. Also hearing the
Throttle Body bore-out is a good deal. I know there's more opinions/advice
out there....

You can buy all kinds of those bored out throttle bodies already done
for you. I see them advertised all the time. Folks do the job then
figure out it don't work for ---- so sell the things when they go back
to a proper TB.
