You can adjust the throttle kick down cable thing to make sure it's shifting smoothly. It's free. Google it. Then find neon injectors in the junk yard for cheap.

Just about the only thing that is cheap or free is a granny foot on the accelarator. Dont replace your injectors with clogged gummed up garbage.

Remove the lift and return to stock tires lol. Looks awesome but Jeeps are NOT fuel efficient. Tom95YJ's suggestions are a good place to start.

Idk if this applies to newer XJs but I've done this to both of my jeeps and the one with high flow exhaust got a pretty good boost overall. I can't really attest to fuel economy gains cause I drove it like I stole it
But maintain a good alignment and keep your tires balanced

Alternator splash guard is a cheap mod. I just used some heat shield and some extra bolts

I hope you didn't pay 6K for that thing.
I have a lot of that camo fabric in bulk. My headliner has been bugging me for close to a year. Thanks.
