Unless the motor was exposed to the elements I just think getting some fresh fuel into it is probably more important.
Pull the fuel filter (before you do anything else) and hook up a drain hose to a catch can (this will need to take all the gas you have in the tank, so may require 1-2 gas cans or more) you can jumper the fuel pump with a jumper line to the ballast resistor (IIRC I think yours still has one?, if not you can find the relay and put the jumper there) Pump as much gas out as you can, I'm a little leery of letting a FP run flat out for long periods like that, so usually I will run it, 5 mins on, 5 mins off. Usually it has to overcome some back pressure so it won't be pumping the same volume during normal operation.
After this, put some fresh gas in the tank 1-2gal and pump that through also. Put in a fresh fuel filter and close it up. Go up to the front of the jeep and using a vacuum pump you can trigger the pressure regulator to allow fresh gas to flow up into the fuel rail. Again, this requires jumpering the FP, and attaching a vacuum pump to the reg.
After this, crank it. If you're worried about lack of lubrication in the cylinders, disconnect the CPS line and you can crank away without it starting. I wouldn't do too much of this so you don't flood it. Maybe a solid minute of cranking. Then reconnect CPS, and see if she starts.
I'll be honest, this is the overly cautious approach, on more than one occasion I've simply started up a vehicle that's been sitting for over a year and it's started up just fine. You could tell it wasn't happy about the fuel situation, usually adding fresh fuel immediately is a requirement, otherwise the vehicle will be really pissed at you.
I don't know about on a 2001, but on older vehicles you can add some acetone to the gas and that will help dehydrate any water build up, and put all of the gels back into solution. rocking the car back and forth usually helps this. Using high grade anhydrous or 95% acetone is necessary.
The biggest headache with leaving vehicles sitting these days is the ethanol blended gasoline (EBG) which is corrosive to older vehicles (with aluminum and brass carb parts) and for modern vehicles it is hygroscopic, so it forms an azeotrope with water and allows it to mix with the gas which can be rough on mild steel components.
Last time I had to drop the tank on my renix, there was some rust in there, so I dropped in a hank of chain and rolled it around the back yard for a while with some soapy water in it. I then washed it out with water, followed by acetone and then used a hair dryer with a long cardboard tube attached to drive the water/acetone out and then applied some RedKote. I've been using this stuff on all of my old steel gas cans to keep the alcohol from attacking the steel and been really happy with it.
