There are plenty of things that can be done with some basic tools, just depends on what you want to do. Lift kits, bumpers, winch, roof racks, etc. Most add ons are simple bolt on pieces, until you want something custom.

If you got 35's im assuming its a big lift. Consider a SYE kit.

With 35's, the next thing you should do is regear it if you haven't already. With limited mechanical skills, that probably isn't something you should attempt though.

But, what you do and what order you do things is really up to you. It's your Jeep, we can't tell you how you should build it, we can give advice though. What do you want to do with the Jeep? Mall crawler, weekend wheeler, mud bogger, rock crawler, good all around trail rig, etc. There's really no limit to what can be done with these Jeeps.

Thankfully it is luckily I had a friend with a jeep and he told me I needed to do it. It's a daily driver but the only place I drive it is to work which is a mile away from me, I have never done any climbing but New Mexico is like 2 hours away from me and I know there is a big jeep scene there. I personally like getting in the mud.
