Popular mods you hate
Just curious what other people's are.
Personally I absolutely hate Bushwackers. They're hideous, bulky, insanely over priced, look cheap, and look like they came off a kids toy truck and I honestly don't get the appeal. The flat flares they sell look ok, but they're so over priced I'd never buy them when I could make the same thing out of steel for 1/4 the price.

I wasnt a huge fan of the cutout flares but i got my set for a song and half a dance can you say free. They are nice but are very pricey i wound not pay full cost for them

i take it you have never tried it.
heres my list:
iro long arms (if you want to know why just look at the design or read one of the debates on this forum)
iro almost alloy kit. $30 for some tabs. You can use washers and achieve the same goal. and unlike what they say, they will not work with most every dana 44 due to clearance issues
revolver shackles (actually probably more hated than popular)
teraflex longarms, they use stock uppers, and can you say pinion dive?
front leaf spring swaps. i absolutely hate having leaf springs on a steering axle, just isnt as solid as a nice front link setup, worse approach angle, weaker, etc.
i'm sure ill have more to add as i think of them...

Personally I don't like bushwacker fairs with a lift and stock tires. They sit in so far and the stance looks horrible.

X2.. I have done it on a previous jeep and hated it. It looks like garbage/not practical...
I dont care for tire-carrier bumpers. I have had them in the past and couldn't see anything with a 35" back there.
The conduit roof racks
P.S. I like my IRO kit. I have ran quite a few different companies and have 0 complaints about iIRO.

They are a crucial part of every well performing suspension system.

1. Hate doorless mod. Looks stupid on an SUV made to have doors and looks better on Wranglers.
2. Hate trimmed fender flares. It makes the whole body look flat and goofy on the sides.
3. Hate round headlights and brake lights. It doesn't fit the look of the Cherokee.
4. Hate stock bumpers with removed beauty guards. A piece of folded sheet metal with nothing hiding the fold looks retarded.
5. Hate the CB radio antenna in the stock antenna location. It's too beefy to be put there.
