That's a pretty good deal - there's probably $4600 in parts on there.

here is your help, as you know from 380 miles of driving 5 gear is useless with 33" tires and stock gearing,(unless the previous owner already did you a favor) check your gearing first!
do not do a body lift they look like hell.
35's are a bad idea with stock axles, upgraded axles are a bad idea with a 4cyl.
enjoy it the way it is and save your money for tools.
