Looks like a nice Jeep to start with. First thing I would do is diagnose and problems with the engine or transmission. Then, do the basics like changing fluids, plugs, belts, etc. Then drive it like that for a couple days and see if everything is okay. Then you can start on the fun stuff.

Tires, lift, SYE/TCD, armor (skids bumpers etc.), engine mods, etc.

By the way how many miles on that 4.0?
