Default Has anyone built a more "Urban" cherokee?

i bought a 1996 cherokee SE, last week for only $800 i fell in love with it right away, i've checked on cardomain and this site and have seen alot of awesome customizations , but pretty much all for rock crawling and off roading i live in New York City and theres none of that here, so im thinking of making my jeep more urban, just wondering if anyone has done anything similar and to get some ideas

What do you mean by urban? I would think a stock jeep would be about as urban as you get. Its all about putting your own style that suits you into. If big rims and system is urban they thats what your looking for.

If you're referring to something like this we usually don't endorse non-functional things like that. It ruins a Jeep.

The wheels on that thing are indeed lame, but I still have to disagree with you. Open your mind. Cherokee's look SICK laid out.

Now THAT scares the heck out of me..lol. Someone down here has a low rider XJ and he doesn't go to good on the beach with 22 inch tires. As a matter of fact I had to pull him off the beach 3 weeks ago because it just wont go in the sand well...Tj
