I think the easiest thing is to just get it back to stock, for a run around town, keep the Rubicons miles low type.

It has no lift or major mods, just a jacked up front bumper, nasty carpet and beat up soft top.

I have a new soft top coming from the previous owner, and a friend at work said I could have her original bumper from hers because it's been collecting dust in her garage for 6 yrs.

or

Add a small lift (2.5") new bumpers front and back larger tires and wheels, and make it a easy trail type of rig.

Is this a daily driver? What are your intentions for it? If you need new carpet, check out ACC on Rockauto
 
I did some updates, no lift but I got bigger tires and rims. My 2004 Jeep 2.4 does what I want it to do. I didn't want to start down the rabbit hole of building a never ending project.

There is stock, daily driver, and what's recommended here.

I'm a daily driver. Which is. 3" lift, 1" bodylift, bigger tires then needed, light armor, winch, and eventually front axle upgrade with lockers. I have rear Dana 44 and LSD, Dana 30 open front now.

Not crazy mods like tons, 6" lift, coil over outboarded shocks,, etc.

If you want stock parts I have a pile I can't get rid of.
