I have a 01 LE I got February 2020 at 154k miles and now at 182k and still running strong, but somehow I’ve gone this long without doing any real mods to it. I’m a little nervous dumping money into it given I’ve absolutely tortured the rig off road, but it still hasn’t skipped a beat and I think now is the time to build it up.
My plan is:
-AC 2” front and back lift springs
-Professional fender trim
-Front Lokka
-Tire upgrade (big KO2s or something)
-skid plates
-possibly high clearance bumpers
-front manual lock hubs
My question is if this is a solid enough plan and if I need to take other things into consideration. Specifically if I should also upgrade shocks/struts or maybe should look into non OeM wheels so I don’t run into tire fitment issues. All advice is welcome, and I’m always looking for other ideas and maybe info on if my mod list is worth it.
Just want a solid reliable and capable rig. Just want to conquer deep snow and hellish mud on my journeys. Not building a rock crawler or anything. I think my days of slamming it through mud pits at 40 mph are over.
