If you think wranglers are the only "real" Jeeps, don't buy an XJ
If you have a clean driveway, don't buy an XJ
If you don't like waving at every other lifted XJ on the road, don't buy an XJ
If you don't like running around naked, don't buy an XJ

Wait, i think that last one was just me....nothing to do with owning an XJ...my bad...

If you don't want to spend WAAAYYY more on parts and accessories than you did for your XJ, don't buy one!

I'm 6'5" and the only complaint is lack of leg room. Add me to the no leak list. there is a trick to no leaks.

If you prefer the interstate to a dirt road. dont buy an XJ

What is the trick, remove all moving parts including engine, trans, tranfer case, all hoses, pipes, fittings, nut and bolts then clean it and then trailer it around. lol

thats exactly right. remove anyhthing that holds fluid, push it up an a trailer and drag the thing everywhere you want to go. that way it gets the best fuel milage.

He's not the only one. You'd never believe I have an 18 year old vehicle parked in front of my house just by checking the ground under it. Sorry for your leaks ...

I guess you could add me to the no leaks list too... I dont know any secrets to it, It just doesnt leak... Yet

If the only thing that you know how to mod on a vehicle is wheel size i.e 22's, 24's or 26's would be a future mod... Dont buy an XJ!

Sad thing is... This could be a capable trail rig... Sell the wheels and buy 32x1150's and some tow points and it would be a respectable rig...

Sell the wheels, and afford to buy another XJ.

If you think telling your friends that your vechicle has over 100,000 miles on it is an embarassment instead of a badge of honor, don't buy an XJ.
