    My thoughts based on everything I've replaced over the years. I'm sure I'm missing some:

    - Exhaust Manifold is a must.
    - Fully redo cooling system if over 100k miles - Radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, etc.
    - New OE Mopar sensors (Or a good aftermarket equivalent) - Crank, temp, oil pressure, throttle position, MAP, IAC, O2s, etc. Anything that can effect the running of the jeep. (Keep old as spares).
    - Keep a spare A/C compressor delete pulley with me at all times.
    - Check all rubber vacuum/EVAP lines for cracks.
    - Motor Mounts - Brown Dog Rubber if you must.
    - All fluids changed - Trans, diffs, t case, etc
    - D30/C8.25 are plenty fine for anything up to 33s. - 4.56 or 4.88 with 33s.
    - Chances are the valve cover gasket and oil filter adapter o ring leak. - replace them.
    - A good battery - Probably an AGM of sorts - Odyssey, Optima, DEKA, etc
    - New alternator - keep the old as a spare
    - New belt and idler pulleys.
    - Filters - No FRAM bullshit - NAPA Gold or Platinum.
    - Fuel Pump

    Virtually replace anything that impacts performance, "Should" be replaced or has a higher failure rate after 100,000ish miles. I replaced a lot of stuff "just because" and I was never left stranded. I also never threw out anything that I replaced that was still "good."

    And a little NAPA Know How

    97 TJ that I think is pretty neat.

                  Are you saying I'm less of a man because I don't want to bang up my brand new $35k JK that I need to work every day?

                            I guess we will agree that the things someone does to a Jeep that doesnt intend to wheel it are:

                            A. Buy a lift
                            B. Install aftermarket steel bumpers
                            C. Buy bigger tires
