It's called body cladding.

Slow down Trigger! HAHA!
You live in NY, and snow is almost there. So since this is your only vehicle, ya might want to make sure you have time to do things when the weather permits.
I battle the same thing here in the southern Kommiefornia mountains.
In fact I am almost outta of time to get exterior things done on my Jeep.
You have one sweet Cherokee limited, and the NY salted roads will destroy it if your not careful.
There are quite a few threads on here that detail how to remove them, and I say IMHO KEEP THEM! OH! Those mudflaps treat with kit gloves as well, those are GOLD!
The number one thing I would do is get that thing as ready for winter as possible.
Then in the spring, start new projects. That way you don't get ""Jeep burn out"".
Lord knows I am overwhelmed right now in Jeep projects. So I know all to well about burn out.
Enjoy that thing!
Go outta town to find a Christmas tree, enjoy taking drives outta the City.
Then you can dream all winter, and make a plan what to do in the spring.
You have already made it look 100% better, and we all know here you have ABSOLUTELY been bitten by the Jeep bug.
She's a keeper, and enjoy it.

Im definitely keeping the cladding, its just that a few pieces have turned cream colored, and I was wondering if there was a way to whiten them...

I got ya beat on that one...recently added a 235 for my spare too. And the one on that rim was date coded to be original to the Jeep. Mine's a 99. Looked like it had never been used. Still had the little casting nobbies on it.
But was the orig. tiny 215. Glad I never needed it with the rest being 235s. That would've sucked 6 ways from Sunday. Lol
