Who prefers the look of the 84-96 front ends over the 97-01?
I always see threads where people want to convert to the 97-01 front end, but never see one where people want to convert a 97-01 to the 84-96 front....The 97-01's just dont look as "tough", they look to much like a car
I LOVE my 86, the front end will never be all round looking

I don't mind the look of them at all for me its all about the interior 
I can care less what it looks like on the outside, I dont see it when I drive it :P

EXACTLY!!! I dont understand why some people think its SO COOL to swap over to the newer style?!?!
I guess because they feel ashamed of owning something that old, pfft...Ide tell them to grow up.
So yeah, I like my XJ, un-rounded, same as you. And I proudly admit its an '89. I actually get alot of comments about how great a shape its in!
F*** those rounded bastards! ....
IM KIDDING!!!

eh, mine has NO interior other than seats and a steering wheel, so I cannot comment on what MINE has in there, but, when it DID have interior, I do prefer the older setup.

I don't really care what it looks like either, I just like cupholders, 29 spline 8.25's, non disconnect dana 30's... and a few other minor updates

I like the look of my 96. I agree is looks a little more tough. I also don't think the side markers on the 97 and up, look like they belong. But, the cupholders I wouldn't mind along with the 29 spline 8.25" but my 8.25" holds up fine.

I think most people switch because it gives the impression of a newer vehicle. Plus they are easier to find parts for in good condition. IMO

Yah I would definitely agree with Donnie_K and 96Cherokee113 on the cupholder addition. That's one minor thing my 96 is lacking! Have any of you guys installed or designed a cupholder solution for 96 and under Cherokees?
