Do you have upgraded headlights? they make a huge difference... a trailer hitch for a rear recovery point.. skid plates? what are you plans?

2k is a lot of money buddy. If i were you id drop it into a decent 4.5 lift kit, driveshafts, brakelines and everything and a nice set of 33'' tires.

or you could buy new tires, skid plates, headlights, steering up grades, bumpers, winch, roof rack, fog lights, tune up the jeep, stroke it. the options are endless. just think about what you wish you had when you go out wheeling and go from there.

1) Slip yoke eliminator and a XJ front drive shaft on the rear
2) full set of skids
3) sliders
4) rear recovery
5) fix all the things that might keep it from being 100% reliable
