Talking Fun and Easy Mods

This thread is for posting any fun and easy mods to do to a cherokee/wagoneer. I've been looking around for ideas of things to do to my cherokee because I dont have much money to put into it, but I want to do something different than others. There are about 7 cherokees in my high school parking lot and I really need to stand out. If anyone has ideas or has an interest in this thread, please post and read.
Suggested ideas:
-headlight/taillight/blinker mods
-easy performance
-jokes/fun
-window tint
-spraypaint paint jobs
you guys/gals get the hint. post anything you want (within the forum rules) and have fun!
thanks,
XJ.89.Limited

Twenty bucks worth of spray paint and some glitter isn't going to make you look too special. It's more important that you identify with your Cherokee and make it an extension of you. Offroad giant? Street runner? There's almost an unlimited choice of directions on this forum. Pick one and start the journey...

I know, I've been gettin ideas for things. I'm gonna do a 4.5 RC lift with 31X10.5 BFG All Terrains and American Racing rims once i get all the money together. A camo paint job when it gets warmer out, aftermarket lights after I get it inspected, a Cherry Bomb Extreme muffler cuz glasspacks are too common, e3 plugs, homemade intake cuz nobody makes any for the Renix years, speakers, and subs are all on my list. I just like to see what people have done to be different. I already have the only Limited, which helps in appearence, but i need more. Interior things would help too. I'm thinking about having a competition among the jeeps and other cars in the parking lot to see which ones are the top pick of the school, so i would like to win. thanks for the input tho, i appreciate it.

Strobes stands out for sure, off road lights as well.

If you really want to stand out from the crowd get a stinger.
