wow.. You realize you just insulted everyone of us who has an XJ, not to mention this site.

There are millions of XJs out there. Why are they trashy if they made them from the 80s to like 01?

Sorry Kamo I was just being sarcastic, I am glad you have so much pride in your jeep to be that easily offended. If I thought they were trashy I wouldn't spend so much time and money fixing mine up. And I got nothing but love for my fellow XJ owners.

I think you're over reacting. He was trying to lighten the situation by saying this. We don't drive Bentleys or Rolls Royce's, we drive Jeep Cherokees. And I don't think he insulted anyone at all...IMO I actually laughed when I read his post. I'm sure a good amount of the people on here have bought an XJ that has been filled with soda and mud and abused to the fullest - that is the "standard" of the cherokee.

By the way how can you say all of these things when you drive an XJ that is COMPLETELY covered in camo? It's almost like you're making fun of yourself. What do you think when a "normal" person that drives a "normal" vehicle looks at your "untrashy" cherokee?

Nice job with the paint. A crazy paint job deserves a crazy amount of lift. SO lift it high so i will look right.
