When you leave it sitting for 4 months still covered in mud from the last time you took it out. And you hop in and it starts right up. And just moving it from one parking space to the other you wonder why you ever stopped driving it....such great fun to drive....

When you haven't owned one for a few years and you finally get another one and realize you actually kinda missed the death wobble!

you cringe when someones asks "how she running?" cause she just happens to be running pretty good lately and now they just put the voodoo on you. My Dad did it to me today right before I had to drive an hour away and back. Fortunately, she ran like a boss but I still kept the music low and my eyes on the gauges,

Wait, I seriously just did this, lol. I actually did buy a $300 XJ and fixed it and now I'm going to sell it.

YMDAXJ if you ask for parts for a Jeep Cherokee and the guy behind the counter replies, "Grand Cherokee or Regular Cherokee?". I really want to reach over and punch you straight in the d*** right now.

YMDAXJ if you keep saying you are gonna replace that stock toothpick, with a ZJ tierod before you go wheelin again.

YMDAXJ if you promise you are not going to go higher than a 3" on 31's with your first post here, then a year later you have a exo-caged, full-width on 37's.

I like confusing the parts store people. "I need front brakes for a 75 Chevy K10, rear brakes for a 96 Honda Passport, and a brake proportioning valve for a 97 V8 Grand Cherokee"

YMDAXJI an old box truck driving in front of you has an electrical issue, an when you smell it you IMMEDIATELY turn off the radio and start looking around your rig for any signs of the electrical smell coming from YOUR rig.


Last week my wife reached over and turned the radio off and we both looked around and said..."nope, it was the box truck". YAY, thinking other peoples problems are yours!

You might drive an XJ if:

You attempt to roll both front windows down at the same time and it seems to take half an hour.

Your center console is half full of spare fuses or you buy them in bulk because _insert electrical problem here_ blows one at least once a day.

You finally get mad enough to dump the XJ and head to a dealer lot to trade it in but common sense prevails as you pull into the lot.
