Street Jeeps?
So I just seen these online and am so outraged of the miss use of these jeep poor things have probably ever even flexed over a speed bump. I mean these guys were talking about getting lift just to fit larger rims I think its ridiculous but feel free to leave ur thoughts on it

As painful as it is to my eyes to look at, those Jeeps know what their life is. Not my style but also not my money.
I feel sorry for the Jeeps with the lifts, MT tires, roof racks, 1000 lights, high-lifts, shovels, spare gas cans, recovery straps, winches, removed flares, "rims", bed lined rockers. . . . that never make it off the pavement. Yup, those are the ones that get me. Again, not my style or money though.
To each their own.

I wasn't so shocked to see a couple like this. Since someone has always "DUB" out random cars. But when I found an entire forum dedicated to these street jeeps is when I couldn't believe it. And I know what u mean with the jeeps that never leave the pavement where I come from there is tons of lifted trucks and offroad vehicles but it seems like only is few with practically bone stock ones get them dirty.

I think this is great for the Cherokee Xj.... Is this my style no.... The more people who are interested in the Cherokee the longer companies will keep making parts to keep them on the road and maybe even come up with new parts... Just becaue you do not like the style its not your money... also it just goes to show how good the Xj Cherokee is itself to see the kind of people it has reach all walks of life..

You do realize that over 90% of all 4x4's sold NEVER go offroad. Yeah to me its a waste kinda like a lowered pick-up, watse of a perfectly good truck.

I say go for it. Then when they become bored with it and sell them, you can pick up an unmolested street Jeep, take all the ricer stuff off, and you have a great base for a rig.
