You should put in on Ebay. Because there is no such thing as a 2000 Wrangler CJ. The last CJ was made in 1986. If you put all that stuff on your Jeep it should do ok, don't need to go with 4.88 gears. 4.56 will be fine. Probably don't need to regear unless you go with 35'' tires.

Leave it stock, throw on some 31 inch tires, take it to an offroad park, and see how it does. TJ's (which is what your 2000 Wrangler is) are excellent right out of the box. Then, as you find things you want to do that you are too small/ limited to do, upgrade as necessary. Just throw in a first aid kit, and go along with someone else, never wheel alone.
