If you're not signed up to a Jeep Cherokee forum, don't buy an XJ.
If you're afraid of smog tests, don't buy an XJ.
If you don't have friends to help you fix stuff, don't buy an XJ.
If your definition of 'FIX' doesn't include the phrase "wing it", do NOT buy an XJ

If you like to drive around in a quiet and clean vehicle, do not buy an XJ
If you must have doors that will not wake the neighbors up in the morning when you go to work, do not buy an XJ.
If the thought of driving after a snow storm on unscraped roads makes you ill, do NOT buy an XJ.
If your friends laugh at you for talking about your XJ all the time, get new friends and buy another XJ
If you think cars don't have personalitys, DO NOT BUY AN XJ!!!!

If you need something to dump all your time and money into and you already have a girlfriend.... Buy an XJ! If you don't mind driving something that scored a 2 1/2 star crash test rating in 1991.... Buy an XJ! If you had a powerwheels jeep when you were little and you used it to climb over the rocks in the front yard...Buy an XJ!!!

hahaha speaking of "random off the wall crap" one time I was at the junk yard and the owner said he was cool with me driving back there to go look at all the cherokees they had. I got back there, pulled some parts off an 86 and climbed into my jeep. Turned the key and all I got was a click. Popped my hood, re-seated the battery connections and hopped back inside. I tried turning the key and it was stuck like I was using the wrong key. So i tried hitting the key and wiggling it. Finally I got my Jeep to turn over and I got back out and went to shut the hood and it popped back open. Struggled for about 5 minutes until the hood finally shut the right way. Got back in the jeep and got out of there. I think my Jeep thought I was junking her because I was right next to all of the salvage XJs. My jeep probably wanted revenge on me and pulled all that crap just to **** me off and give me a hard time. My XJ has the personality of "christine" at times, but I still love it!



I have a full size spare...
