I have a 2000 XJ. I use a Wilson 1000 Roof Mount antenna. I removed the dome light to expose the center on of the roof, used a 5/8" hole punch to install the base. I then fished the coax under the headliner out between the visors. I have a 2950DX mounted there between the visors. There is metal reinforcement that lets you use half inch sheet metal screws that WILL NOT penetrate the exterior roof.

The roof mount antenna will unscrew at the base for easy removal and comes with a little screw cap with an "O" ring. When I go off road I just take the antenna off and put the dust/rain cap on and go for it. There are many options and the North American XJ Association forum has plenty off install pics and writes ups concerning CB and HAM installs on Cherokees.

I also used to own a 1978 Suburu Brat. Man, that thing would go places and was a chick magnet with the rear facing seats. I used to run up and down South Padre Island on the dunes and beach with some hot chicks, fun times.
