if you like good heat in winter, do not buy an xj

if you like to know why there are unused connectors dangling off the wiring harness with seemingly nowhere to plug into, dont buy an xj, (or buy it and just let it be, it works fine without them)

if you like a quiet ride, do not get an xj with a flowmaster

same here. They all roll down but If I roll the passenger side front one down too far it needs pulled back up, The back passenger side rolls down and up but it cranks very hard.

If you like all your doors to open properly from the outside without having to reach in through one of the windows don't buy and xj

If you like all of your gauges in the cluster working at the same time. DON'T buy an XJ

If you like knowing exactly how many miles are on your vehicle. DON'T buy an XJ

If you like your gauges working without having to push the cluster. DON'T buy an XJ

If you don't like seeing the check engine, low washer fluid, and airbag lights on at the same time. DON'T buy an XJ.

add me to the no leaks list - '99 with 146k. I know, it's still being broke in for a 4.0

If you like keeping your vehicle stock, don't buy an XJ
If you can't remember your vehicle's moniker, don't buy an XJ (that's a Cherokee for those who don't know what a moniker is)
If you think all vehicles should only be on paved roads, DO NOT buy an XJ
If you like 22's, don't buy an XJ
If you don't like tight, confining spaces, don't buy an XJ
If your passengers tend to be bigger than a 4 year old, don't buy an XJ
