Will I ever get street credit with a 2005 Jeep Liberty? What should I get instead?

I bought a Jeep Liberty way before I realized it would become the soccer mom vehicle of the 2000s. I love the vehicle for what I can use it for and do with it (camping, off-roading, store my skis inside the vehicle, throw the rear seats down and sleep in it) but I operate in a sales position where looks can mean so much.

Should I:
-try to add chrome and wheels and lift kit or custom paint to make it feel more "macho" ... but it still is a Liberty.
-Buy a different Jeep.
-Recommend me a different vehicle altogether?
 
May I recommend 04+Toyota 4Runner Black on Black W Spoiler Full Leather + Brush Guard
Very nice cars, respectable and lasts forever, good resale value
 
Although it shouldn't matter what you drive, if you want something to accomplish all those tasks but have some style or "street credit", I would recommend looking into a Chevy Trailblazer SS. It will be the same size as the Liberty, if not bigger, and the SS model will have the 6.0L V8 engine with 390hp. They are available in All Wheel Drive, and the rear seats do fold down if you would like to sleep in it. Plus they look very sharp. Do a google image search of a Trailblazer SS and see if you like it. You can pick one up used, say a 2006 or 2007 model with about 20k miles for approximately $20-25,000
 
Who gives a crap about street cred. You get a vehicle because it is the vehicle you need. Why are you trying to impress people that don't really give a crap?
 
Let me recommend one of these, be sure to look at all the mods he did too! Note that he gets 50mpg, and that this car has 275,000 miles on it, which is nothing for these...I have seen them with over 500,000 miles and still a daily driver.
