Here's a few pics of the ol girl

XJ ONLY

I guess I'm curious...What's the history behind the name?

baseballbaker

Well way back when I was born lol my mom bought a 96 xj which we still have and used it on her rule mail route 160 miles of gravel and crappy roads every day and thats the vehicle I grew up around and loved so y not get one for when I become a driver so we did we got the 99 which is mine now so about a year after that my mom got another xj which is our 98 which she currently uses for the mail route and the old 96 has 249000 and still runs great. Just there was one down fall to our jeep love well in this case it was a crysler product which was buying a 06 liberty for the mail roure which gave us nothing but trouble so we got ride of it and got the 98. So being the son of a jeep lady and a teen ager I calim mine is the best lol and its in the start of truly becoming the best

XJ ONLY

Oh it all makes sense now. and its always nice to see another teenager XJ owner.

Proud to be one too. Im the jeep guy at school and everyone knows it lol I go to out area votech for the first 3 hours of the day for automotive classes which is really nice for working on my jeep. 4 lifts and a shop full of tools is nice to have handy

XJ ONLY

Jeez, that must be nice, my school has no money and no programs like that at all.

My home school doesn't my class is only 20 kids but we have a lot bigger school ten miles from us that offers a lot of programs that we can take for the first 3 hours of the day

I have no clue why it keeps flipping my pictures all different way. But I also got so bad news yesterday in our basketball game I managed to crack my sholderblade and a bone on the top of my sholder so no work on the jeep for 6 weeks

baseballbaker

This summer im going to have a job that pays well again and its also going to be time for the ol jeep to get some new shoes. I think im going to go ahead and get new rims too because one of mine is slightly bent so heres the set up I think im going to go with. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bfg-03119/overview/ and http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-84-5865/overview/ what do you all think?

Nice Jeep! Another teenage Jeep owner here! I just got my license this week...Anyways about the "Jeep guy at school," I'd definitely say that I spend the most time on the forums, and I think I'm the only member in my school. 800 Students in the high school, and 5 or 6 XJs, and a few TJs (one kid rolled a real nice TJ on BFGs and Bushwhackers, real nice for a highschool student...All good though, he got a WJ), and the best part of owning an XJ: No worries about it getting defaced, like my friend's Chrysler 300C HEMI that got spit on every day, or another guy's Audi A4 Quattro that had swears keyed into it and all the windows smashed out...

Dang dude where do u live to have that stuff happening. im literally the only one at my school that has a jeep but my school is tiny the worst thing that happens around here is getting window chalked

Small town in Maine where anyone who's parents buy them a nice car are hated by those who don't have cars. Oh yeah I know a girl who's car got keyed because someone was jealous. She's popular, smart, athletic, and her parents got her a BRAND new Toyota Corolla S and it got keyed ALL down the sides. Yeah. But it's more if you drive luxury cars. Like some kids had a wicked nice diesel f250 on a 6 inch lift that nobody messed with. Also, if you're well-liked it helps. I have a friend who's parents traded in a Hummer H3 and bought a 2011 Mercedes C300 4Matic Supercharged for their daughter, who then went to college with a 2012 or 13 Toyota and the son (a junior now) got the Merc. But his hasn't been messed with yet. Our school is strange though. We get made fun of a lot because when the building was put up in 1973, the idea was that kids could learn 2 subjects at once by overhearing other classes, so there are "fake" walls everywhere haha. Some fake walls are nice. The kind that go to the ceiling. Others are approximately 2-3 inches thick and if you aren't too short (I'm like 5'5 and can stand on my toes) you can look in on classes over the walls. These classrooms are modular and teachers sometimes decide to put the door-opening (no doors though) on a completely different side of the room. Actually our science department doesn't even use cubicle walls. It's just separated by lab desks, so you can wave to a friend a couple classrooms away. There's actually a video on YouTube called Sam and Brandon Welcome you to Mt. Ararat, in which they start in the parking lot. They also demonstrate knocking over a wall by leaning on it haha
