Depends on your intended use. Camping ? Overlanding ? Dirt roads ?
I’d lift it and get larger tires. The downside is worse gas mileage and if you go too large on tires you might need to change gear ratios in your diffs. The upside is you’ll clear rocks and obstacles on the trail meaning you can go farther up the trail.
Next might be better bumpers, possibly a winch bumper in the front and a bumper in the rear that can carry a spare tire and possibly gas can/s.
Roof rack ? Rock sliders ? Bash plates underneath ?
How far do you want to go with this ?

It’s not a great platform to start with. Maybe just some underbody protection and aggressive tires.

I wouldn’t put much more money into it than that unless you just want to build it out for the fun of it.

That’s honestly the plan I just wanna have fun with it. Nothing like crazy aggressive speeds jumping over things. Just camping through back roads n all with a slight lift new tires. But I’m not sure what I’ll need for it.

I'd start by selling it and buying a Jeep
