When I first started my old Acura after it sat for 5 years here's what I did:

Replaced the battery (mine would not hold a charge after sitting for so long)Siphoned old gas out of the tank & put a couple gas cans worth of fresh fuel in itChanged the oil, trans fluid, and coolant as they can deteriorate with ageInspected all tires before driving. They can go bad if they sit in one spot for a long time.

After doing all this I started it up with no issues.

Has your J been stored indoors?

On my old truck I went as far as pulling the plugs and spraying a little oil in each cylinder in case a ring was stuck.
