Just picked up a 2003 X 5-Speed with 61K. This is my first Wrangler but 4th Jeep (first with a real frame). Not sure what my plans are on it except to daily it for now and keep it reliable. I have changed the spark plugs to NGK oem ones and the Mopar stubby bumper end caps. I have order a new OEM radiator, OEM water pump, OEM tensioner and idler, OEM belt and Gates radiator hoses. Next month I plan on replacing the hubs with SKF units and Centric rotors with Akebono ProACT pads. Other than that I will be doing either a Bestop Trektop NX or finding a OEM hardtop and then a JeepAir kit and eventually a stock bumper winch plate and a winch. Researching the H&R springs and shocks at the moment as I like the idea of a progressive rate spring. I think the 31”s on their currently are a great size for daily and getting me 99% of the places I’d like to go (replacing a lifted Subaru Forester I built up, nice to have a proper 4WD with transfer case). I enjoy the classic look of a TJ and don’t want to stray too far from that. Other than that plan on switching the headlights to Trucklite LED units and Quadratec LED taillight assemblies for safety. Since this is my daily I just want to keep it reliable and easy to work on.
