It's going to be mainly a daily driver. So no major work

the dynomax catback exhaust is like $125 regularly but you can get it for $25 (After $75 MIR) now

Exhausts are a ***** to replace, just beware that nearly every bolt WILL break. My XJ is a daily driver too, but I'm still going to throw out the idea of a 3" lift and 31x10.50s on it. Stock cherokees are a little too station-wagoney for me. Or maybe just look into it once it's time to replace your tires. No harm no foul.

You can find the rims at discount tire. Go to the store nearest you. Haha

For a DD then, I'd say vent visors, inexpensive and they keep the rain out, plus you can crack your windows open a little whenever you park. They also look great, at least I think they do. Although exhaust is good to do too, just some other suggestions, I still have the stock exhaust.

First let me say that's a very nice XJ.
If I were you and it's going to be your daily driver and do little to no offroading then do things like a tune up, a nice wash and wax, and maybe paint some of the worn out and faded parts like trim, door handles and mirrors. just some touch up spay paint can go a VERY long way.
