Even though mine is a 96 Classic the older style. I have to say I like the 97-01 body style better. I think the suddel roundedness and the interior just looks better.

I think the 97-01 looks a lot nicer in general. The only things I dislike are the trim, flares, and bumpers. But on the "ultimate Cherokee", those things would all be removed/replaced

If you got a new one you want to keep it clean looking, not cut to shreds and banged up.

The ultimate Cherokee would not have to look like it had been through a Demolition Derby and still be able to take on the Rubicon, to use a name of a local trail, and pick up the groceries on the way back.

Once you start cutting it is a slippery slope to the point you are driving with only half the body remaining and no going back.

Looks serve no purpose for me. They do nothing functional.

my vote is going to the newer styles, i kinda like the front grill design, and the back lights..although for some reason i like the interior of the older models.
