Thanks for the comments!
Debated about debadging ... decided to go for it. Took about two weeks before I got tired of thinking about it. No regrets. Don't plan to sell it soon or anything.
Installed the fog lights (OEM). Hardest part was running wire through the firewall.
Using iridium spark plugs. Can't tell any SOP difference from stock and the iridium sure cost alot. Maybe they will last a long time. Maybe there is more complete combustion and engine is cleaner. Maybe, Maybe, maybe.
Tried and removed Jet Stage One ... no positive results.
Installed rear Hidden Hitch receiver. Used OEM wiring harness. Plug and play. Wondering if I need to upgrade ****** cooling. Since I don't tow anything, not worried yet.
Sport Bars are OEM. No wind noise. Haul my kayak up there.
Husky liners and Jeep cargo tray.
Waiting on All J Products to ship Boulders Bars ordered.
Worried that with the Daystar 2.5" in the rear, my Rancho RSX 17004 shocks will bottom out. So ... have an email to All J Products to order Skyjacker 2.5" springs and 1.25" bump stops ... and ... Rancho RSX 17505 struts and Hidden Hitch front receiver.
Need to buy: Skids. Will likely go with OEM and All J Products. Rotors and Pads. Got some brake judder. Deciding on Napa's United product line and ceramic pads ... or ... Power Slot and Hawk or EBC pads. Can't find a part number for Hawk rear HPS pads is one problem. emailed them and awaiting reply.
Future mods: Portable winch and Hi-Lift. Maybe a Pull-Pal. As you can see, trees are not exactly all over the beach and the Pull-Pal may come in handy. Would like to add Navigation CD, but I have a Garmin iQue 3600 PDA with GPS and voice ... so ... Nav CD is just a nice to have. Maybe a Yakima Basketcase mounted low between the rails if I can figure out how to incorporate with OEM sport rails.
Lots of misc stuff to get yet. Warn shackles, hitch extender, recovery rope / tow straps, CB and / or handheld radios ... etc.
Observations: KJ is at a height it sould have been from the factory for a 4X4 without a lift. Revos do make road noise and the stiff sidewalls really make the KJ ride like a truck. Thats ok too. Starting to get more looks and even a couple of waves from the Wrangler guys.
Another thing ... I have not waxed the KJ since I bought it new in April of '03. Maybe I should think about doing that too.
