Default I think Colorado may be the XJ capital of the world.

Where I am from in the rust belt, XJs simply don't last. So to have one in nice condition actually stands out (to the point where I get approached at gas stations and parking lots about the XJ).

I'm in Colorado this week.

There are XJs EVERYWHERE. This is a very Jeep popular area in general, but the number of good condition XJs here is insane. I count 10-12 of them every time I take a short drive.

In the northeast I could go a whole week and maybe see 3. And 2 of them will be rusted out to the point of no return.

Its nice to see so many. In all sorts of configurations (stock, tricked out, in between...)

Yeah, lots in this part of the country. There are 4 or 4 XJ's within a few blocks of my house even

I will see 3 or 4 modded XJ's every day. They all wave at my price of junk for some reason, usually while I have a coffee in my hand so I need to do some awkward cup-in-hand attempt at a wave

I wanted to wave at them all. But I was in a rental vehicle. So I had to keep it to myself. Plus, there were so many, that arm would have gotten worn out.
