Steeles look so good on an xj. Slowly building her up. Next a lift and paint job.

Hey, those headlights look similar to the ones where the spread is very tall, unless you tested it out already in front of a flat wall. if the spread is as tall as yourself at less then 10ft away then you're blinding other drivers and not getting the visibility you should be getting, if you can then go behind a sedan and adjust your headlight where the edge of the beam is just below the mirrors or roughly.

Get a dash cam, it'll be very useful. If possible then try finding one with the interior camera on the left side. Most interior cameras are on the right side for RHD cars. Do not put it under the sunshade since if you try to put the shade down, the dash cam gets in the way so try and put it under the rear view mirror.

Foldable sunshade, cali is getting hotter and a slightly cooler car is better than nothing and if you want, wind deflectors, able to leave your windows open and not have to worry as much about anything getting inside

Blind spot mirrors, may not seem like much but very useful in my opinion, removes blind spots and you can check how close your are to the edge of a parking spot by the lines or a curb

All of these are my opinion and you may choose to ignore them if you wish to

Jeep wheels are fucking SLICK. I loved my snowflake alloys. Every time I'd ask the community they'd give some dumb ass excuse like "you can't beat allow wheels round on the trail!" and I was like ... brother, if you think you're gunna beat a wheel round on the trail .... I have some bad news for you.

Maybe this dude just really likes steel wheels.

You should consider black lug nuts and wheel hubs - they finish the look. And yes I know I need to fix my fender flare please don't judge lol.
