So, the build is going to start coming together. I finally got hired as a lifeguard and it pays decent money for a high school student. I am getting new tires when these ones wear out so dont think Im throwing that aside. I need ideas though. Heres my options:
Roof rack
Front Bumper
Sliders
Locker
Soft 8 or D Windows
New stereo head
O and I did receive some money that I can put towards it for my birthday this past weekend.

So, I'll update and say that I put new speakers in my jeep. Pioneer makes really great equipment IMO . Also , my next purchase are the soft 8's I can't wait. I'll have a black and gold color scheme . What does everyone else think?

Looks like a pretty clean Jeep! If your going for a black and gold scheme, I recommend painting your bumpers and fender flairs black. And take off the door trim, I think it makes the cherokees look much cleaner.
If you go off roading at all, I recommend you replace your lower control arms. They are very cheap and allow your axle to move in ways it shouldn't. My dad got his Jeep in a teeter totter, and we think it flexed enough that the front axle slid over enough to hit the shock on the frame and leave a little dent in the shock.(could be wrong, but can't seem to find any other explanation for the dented shock) They have since been replaced and the overall feel of the drive feels more stable. Especially off road.
oh, btw, spray some PB blaster on the bolts for the bracket for your track bar. That stuff is awesome.

Thanks for the advice... I think I may be getting my rims pretty soon.. Then I might trim the fenders off and remove the front bumper caps but that is just a thought.
