the purpose of the jeep is a daily driver with the capabilities to go off road, during the summer we go camping and trail riding alot. so all that stuff you mentioned is not 4 me,
also why would i take my jeep to a shop, i know more than most of these idiots around here. i know for a fact it has a great lift kit and was properly installed, and it drives very very smooth, i have drove many lifted vehicles and this one has no play in the wheel or anything, it has stabilizers on front and rear for when im driving on the road,
when i go off road i can detach the stabilizer links and allow the vehicle to flex.
i also wouldnt need a snow plow, we dont get much snow here

Sweet deal with the detachable stabilizers. Thats just the bees knees. lol.
Yeah, if its more of a DD, you don't need the Dana lockers or any of that stuff. Thats for more of the hardcore guys.
All off-road trucks have to have a CB and a P.A. system!
I'm not sure what you'd want for a DD other than the parts you have already listed.

my biggest thing is trying to find a metal front bumper and some running boards or rails, to make it easier to get in and out for wife and kids. also i'd like a snorkel kit (if you can find one for my jeep) post me some links, i already got a cb i just gotta hook it up.
btw my jeep is a 97 jeep grand cherokee laredo aka zj


edit: im also planning on installing a power inverter so my vehicle will be equipped with 120v

Sorry, but a snorkel on a DD, soft trail rig just is not practical. If your getting a snorkel, you are planning on getting into the deep, over the depth of your hood. This would destroy your interior and radio/CB/inverter.
