What kind of "fun" are you looking for? Off road? Hot rod? The 4.7 is delicate and doesn't take mods too kindly. It takes TLC just to keep it running at all.

The 01 4.7's still had a few issues that for the most part were addressed in the 02-04 models you should be aware of that. I have a 04 4.7HO with over 200,000 mi. on it and still runs very well but its used as a DD my XJ is my off road toy.
It costs more to improve the WJ than the XJ's as all coil springs but has a better ride. You could do a lift to it for some curb appeal and different tires and wheels. But my advice is to leave the engine and trans alone unless you have problems but still lots you can do just have a look at the online catalogs for ideas.
