Hey all I bought my 97 xj last week. It's got a 3 inch lift and 33x12.50s. Nothing performance wise as of yet but I'm super excited and ready for more mods. Kinda wondering what you all recommend I do next?

i'd recommend a good tune up for starters, and then do regearing( if you have the money).

Welcome to the family... And the addiction! I also would recommend a full tune up. Change all your fluids, including your diffs and transfer case. Check under your carpets for rust and fix that if you can. Make sure your are trimmed enough for 33s cause that's a lot of tire for 3" of lift. Then get recovery points and equipment!

Thanks everyone. I'm part of the way through my tune up already. And I'm also in the process of designing some bumpers. Hopefully I can getmy tune up done today, and go get my steel to start on my bumpers
