I Suspect all of our Jeeps have little quirks. Do you think yours is the only one that does a particularly quirky thing?

I'll bet you would be surprised!

Post em up, and let's see.

How can you tell it's jealous? Turn green?

I was thinking more along the lines of stuff like the AC fan only works on 2 and 4 not 1 and 3.

you can never go straight into reverse without putting it in first before reverse to not grind gears, and little thunks when you go over bumps

at low speeds I have a high pitched metal rattle... still don't know where it is.
my shocks clunk but aren't blown.
my transmission never seems to warm up and it's a manual.
I center my steering wheel every monday and by tuesday night it's so far off that I don't know where center is anymore.

Fixing or upgrading one part on my XJ means the other stock parts become jealous and then in turn break and/or make the Jeep shake/squeek/rattle.

only when accelerating i get a tick. increases/decreases with RPM and sound increases the more "G's" are in the accelation. furthermore.... it doesn't always happen. engine temp, time of day, price of tea in china, it just doesn't affect the randomness of it.

In every gear but 4th there is an odd whirring sound coming from the clutch/trans.

I'm honestly expecting it to explode someday. Probably soon and when I need the truck the most.

I get a high pitched jiggly squeak from the rear right when I'm driving on rougher roads. Absolutely quiet on smooth ones.
