It looks like I may have roughly 50 bucks left over of birthday money... any ideas on what to buy? Jim, Matt, Bear, anybody, anything you guys can think of that may contribute to my lift and such?

Also, doesn't have to be spent on the Jeep, so other random ideas are cool too.

Hockey pucks are $35 or so lol or stainless brake lines are under $50 I think, buy one rough country shock

Billet grille

L.E.D. bulbs for better interior lighting

hood vents

headlight harness

ammo cans for storage

4.5" angle grinder with cutoff wheel, wire wheel, and 80 grit flap wheel

nice L.E.D. flashlight (i'd make sure it uses common and cheap batteries)
I carry this one on me. http://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=CXvYIJ8P4T4STF4jw8ASH76yCAenG6dIC0fSR-jLJqvC3hgEIAhACILm8iRUoAlCesNXcBWDJBsgBB6oEH0_Qwv1 BZLLzRNB-ofv6daAfM_xksUelBXE8k154xRSABZfgvAvABQWgBiY&sig=AOD64_1hPy4cpzoGIMbb_2XlaogvaMO2Mw&ctype=5&ved=0CFsQwg8&adurl=http://stat.dealtime.com/DealFrame/DealFrame.cmp%3Fbm%3D8%26BEFID%3D96625%26acode%3D1 5%26code%3D15%26aon%3D%26crawler_id%3D1908846%26de alId%3DxlBKyeoJnmW5slgpgBCPcQ%253D%253D%26searchID %3D%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fhomedepot.rdr.chann elintelligence.com%252Fgo.asp%253FfVhzOC8fBggESSNg X1FZQxFrEXE4YRlOAgRKampfVVsPESJDKzAnXQgfH0AoJUEJDx xQMVxdEUcsKXxOXllTU3JjXFJSQxBrCXJ0YBsKAwIIYCcdD1Yb VSpPZncyCABWFAI5JRgURRtOM1pAWlQsMH1OXV0VBzklCgEKA1 F7FiUzMF4XAlZFKz0dBhhWEzhMJjYlQVdEFQU5EBoKBxdtN1FP a0sLKz5IdlVAVyt3XAUHGk81UDo0NggBVEBLMDYaAB9WE2hWJ2 FgSQAAAwJvYlpWWVYTaFxJYEkuJ3YeVnN6GAB-HAsEA1E3SiQbMEJfHW8bG2BaO0YsDGwPcXZjHQcFAhEsIAwABB dEY1xNVntyd2QeBAkGCHkxHw0IHEU7GX8nP0RRW1ldcGw%253D %2526nAID%253D13736960%2526%26DealName%3DBrinkmann %2520Flashlight.%25203%2520Watt%2520LED%2520Tactic al%2520Flashlight%2520809-8302-H%26MerchantID%3D311031%26HasLink%3Dyes%26category %3D4%26AR%3D-1%26NG%3D1%26GR%3D1%26ND%3D1%26PN%3D1%26RR%3D-1%26ST%3D%26MN%3DmsnFeed%26FPT%3DSDCF%26NDS%3D1%26 NMS%3D1%26NDP%3D1%26MRS%3D%26PD%3D0%26brnId%3D1531 %26lnkId%3D8072692%26Issdt%3D120707015207%26IsFtr% 3D0%26IsSmart%3D0%26dlprc%3D12.97%26SKU%3D20220055 2 Great, cheap light, uses 3 aaa's.

First aid kit
Fire extinguisher
A couple of the 2$ emergency ponchos you find in the camping section at store. They are great for working on broken jeeps on the side of the road in a rain storm or when you have to crawl under a jeep in the mud ect.

If you can toss in another 15-25 Id go with new ford 24lb injectors and adjustable MAP sensor from WORP... this is an OLD thread but I was able to get a set from him along with an adjustable MAP for about 75

I'd save up a few more bucks and get some front sway bar disconnects.

I sure am glad I made this thread! These are some awesome ideas! Thanks fellas! Too bad wheels and tires cost more than $50 a set, right? LOL

Well, after talking to Matt, I've decided on brake lines for my lift. But now I have a slew of things on my wish list! Thanks again fellas!

brakelines arent 50 bucks... but 75 yes... Id be VERY careful which ones you get cause I had one get caught up on a small tree limb and brake it in two at the base and that little chincy thing had me roll backwards into a ravine... bad day for my jeep! most damage my jeep has incurred while wheeling check out quadratec for crown brand brakelines, thats what Im gonna be ordering when I get my next check!

Always glad to help spend someone else's money.

Paycheck goes in the bank at midnight, so hopefully I can get them ordered tomorrow. $83 for front and rear. Not too bad because without the discount it would be close to $100.

Wife is asking when she gets to buy her birthday present now... hers was in May... I've been offering to get her stuff for a while now :D
