Upcountry package is a 1" taller factory lift, skidplates for the front, transmission/transfer case and gas tank. Also tow hooks front, this one has a tow hitch and Limited Slip axle with 3.73 gears. I'm currently rolling on 31" tires. This has been a solid rig since I bought it used. I have added a 2" lift (about 3" over a stock ZJ) and noticed my milega has come down a bit. Not surprised. But the truck is used freequently offroad, so the clearance is needed...

Current Mods:
First mod was the gray matter between my ears.
Synthetic oil in the crankcase, 10W30. Motor has over 156,000 miles on it and this is about as thin as I will put in. Synthetic in the transfer case. Tire pressures higher than I've been using...
Planned Mods:
Synthetics for the tranmission and differentials. Removing roofrack crossbars.
Play more with tire pressures.
Clean up/smooth underside of Jeep for aero and offroad clearance.
Front bumper, to be solid, yet help with aero if possible, just don't want to make it WORSE!
