New member, new to me jeep owner

[Custom ftr]

Hello all. I am new to so to speak to jeeps. Family size determining my car was inadequate. I went looking for 4 door 4 wheel drive and manual. Out of the options I had a jku fit me the best. I plan on getting the body lift removed along with adjustable track bars front and rear. I have not gotten to take the kids playing in mud yet. They love the snow flying up along the windows.

Thanks. Getting ready to do my first mod to my jeep. Con rod bearings. Nothing wrong yet with the rep that the jeep con rod have for the 3.8 I want the temporary peace of mind. Almost anything beats entertaining a child on the side of the road.

My goal is to
regear to 4.88
Rockkrawler mid links and trackbars
505 performance cam and rocker arms maybe 505 4.1l stroker but I dont want to go that far for a while.
Dana 44 in the front
Lockers front and rear
Get away from chain trans case
Terra flex ball joints
Terra flex tire rack/hinges
Saving this one for last on the list bigger breaks.

So far I enjoy my jeep but it's a massive change from an rx8. I know the jeeps not ever going to compare on breaking or accelerating I have got to make the breaking better.

Thanks. No I am not a fan of the chain. I'll live with it till I decide what I want and scrap funding together.
