I'm thinking that trading the chrome front parts and lifting it are on the top of the list. Want to do the intake and exhaust but waiting to see if a chip comes out anytime soon. The horsepower is good but seems like there is plenty more if someone can tap the computer a bit.
I'm in Boise during the week... live in Kuna and the truck is "deep water blue" but at my work there is a debate 'bout it looking green. :-) PM me if you wanna link up sometime. Been 'wheeling a couple time to see if this will really go (climb) or if it's just show... impressed at this point to say the least!

I really did hit the jackpot, I only paid $25,500 for it from Saturn of Boise. They didn't know what they had
Thats funny, cause I used to modify Jeeps for a living. I've done YJs, TJs, XJs, WJs and ZJs. My most recent was a 93 ZJ with a 6" lift and 33" MTRs....it had an ARB bull bar on it and a Garvin roof rack. Don't know if you ever saw it around town. Had it for 3 years, just sold it last September. Were you on Jeepsunlimited?
As far as horsepower is concerned, I have heard that nissan engineers severly detuned the 5.6. I have *read* in magazines that it is only a tune and a few bolt ons away from 400 hp - sounds too good to be true and I'm just relaying what I read, but that would be awesome.
For the price of gas, however, I'm not sure I'm gonna lift this one

I drive on the highway long distance a lot and I've heard gas will hit $3 this summer so I might just leave it stock height, or put a leveling kit on it at the most. I will certainly do intake and exhaust tho, and perhaps a chip if it is inexpensive. I do most of my modding on my project car right now, a 1994 Toyota MR2 Turbo widebody. I just made 315 rwhp with it....thats good for a low 12 second quarter mile
