I’m a kid who just got a 98 Cherokee as my first car. It’s lifted 6 or 6 1/2 inches with 35s. I already have a winch heavy duty front bumper. I just installed new LED headlights and a new steering stabilizer. As a poor kid with no money I was just wondering what I should do next. I also have a light bar installed. I do work some so I will appreciate suggestions even if they’re out of the price range. I am new to the forum so if this belongs in a different sub-page please direct me there. Otherwise, all help and suggestions are appreciated!

 

Full tuneup, tires and fluids. Check for any codes that may be stored. Check the battery and clean up the engine grounds, even if they look ok. Check the bushings and u-joints. Grease any fittings you find. You know, the boring stuff.

Here are the grounds.

 

Drive it for awhile and take it offroading a few times then you can decide for yourself what you need or don't need.

 

All my fluids are good. It did throw a couple codes but I got new 02 sensors and just installed a new stock crankshaft position sensor (which was a pain). I have not got around to cleaning any of the grounds yet, how do you suggest I go about doing that? Like how should I clean it and with what etc. some of the pictures are blurred but I get the just and I think I can figure it out so thank you.

I haven’t gotten to take it off-road very much so I will get on that . Just wondering if there were any mods that personally worked for you. Like my center console annoys the crap out of me so I’m thinking of buying on of the metal stabilizers for them or maybe just a new console entirely. I also hate the cheap flimsy turn signal shifter and am wondering if there’s a fix or alternative replacement for it.

 

If you have any leaks take care of those. Valve cover or oil pan gasket. Check that your track bar and drag link angles match if you have bump steer. People have a habit of throwing cheap lift kits on Jeeps and then selling them. What they don’t tell you is that it rides like garbage. If that’s the case then also check your rear leaf shackle angle. For the same reason you should also check your pinion angles. You didn’t specify what type of lift so this may be irrelevant.
