yay someone likes it!!!
and yes its hard in highschool when u pay for insurance and gas.
the lights where a combo pack on ebay for like $80
and the headliner is very easy just time consuming.

I think it makes your jeep look pretty ugly. Sorry im not trying to be mean but you have a very clean a very nice looking cherokee, that big ugly brush guard really kind of ruins it. I would at least paint it black and cut off the head light "covers" that stick out past the body. It makes ur jeep look kind of redneck and hacked up, rather than the clean, stock XJ look that it usually retains.

sure it needs some paint but i wouldn't say that and besides in my opinion the picture makes it look bigger then it really is
