I might be coming into anywhere from $800-$1000 soon. I have a 92 Cherokee with 3" lift and 31"s on it. I am trying to figure out what I can get to put in my jeep that will make it better. It has an exhaust system already.
Here are a few things I could think of off the top of my head:
Snorkel
swaybar disconnects
front steel bumper
winch
maybe a different muffler
slip yoke eliminator

What would you suggest? What could I be leaving out?
Thanks

bumpers, i wouldn't suggest buying a snorkel unless you really plan on using it, maybe some lights or tires disconnects are cheap and easy also

Yeah bumpers, discos would be my picks of that list. Lights would be pretty handy.

If you shop smart you can probably get a good bumper, lights and discos for under a grand.

I have bunch of lights right now. I am really thinking about a bumper, I love the look of the stinger bumper but I am afraid that it is a bit overkill for just 3" of lift.
I would really like to have discos so I will probably go with that.
Snorkel...probably not

i say, bumper and winch...on XJs, you need an after market bumper of some kind for a winch, i was kinda spoiled with my wrangler, could just mount it right to the factory bumper and frame rails, but i say get the bumper and winch...if you didnt need a bumper for the winch, the winch would be the first thing i would suggest

heres why:

all those things, the quick disconnects, snorkel, and if you wanted lockers, and things like that, all those things do is help you get stuck where your friends, who may not be as capable, cant get too....and then you are in for a hell of a time trying to get out...

I agree w/xj bones. OP, it just really depends on what you will use your jeep for. Where will you take it off-road? Where I go, there is alot of rocks. I asked for advice here and spent my cash on armor. Diff skid, t-case skid, gas tank skid, sliders. Also was able to squeeze in a DIY front bumper. Still on 31s and just did a class 7-8 trail. Had to bang my way through some obstacles, but did not get stuck. I'm thinking of the xj stiffners now too.
