Question What upgrades/modifications are the most important?

In your opinion which upgrades are the most important for a stock cherokee, for traveling off the beaten path? (Please list in order of importance, for instance below)

1.Recovery points
2.Good off road tires
3.Lift
etc etc

3- lift

why tires first and the lift last? spend $$ on the right size tires once you lift your rig.

Recovery Points are #1!

Very true, but I would rather be driving a cherokee with nice tires and no lift, then a cherokee with a nice lift and bald tires. Of course having both is what should be aimed for.
