It's a Jeep thing when you haven't even driven yours in 8 months and you still say "let's get in the Jeep" "I'll go get the Jeep" "it's in the Jeep" etc

It's a Jeep thing when the guy at the parts counter asks, "So what year part do you need for your Jeep today?"

its a jeep thing when you pat ur jeep on the back fender for doing a good job and a pile of rust falls off lol

Thats what happens almost everytime I go to buy jeep stuff from craigslist. We sit and talk jeeps for like 30 minutes before ever mentioning money or the actual part I'm buying haha

A while back I sold some stuff and I had a few of the coolest most badass xjs I've ever seen show up

That is is guys.. I had a young man, I am guessing maybe 13/15 year old range show up to buy the headlight switch and hood. It was raining that day so I figured he wouldn't show. Well he came up with his grandfather driving an S-10. I walked out and the little fellow was nervous as all get out.

Once I met them I said son, you can take the hood and the switch for $20. He said "are you for real"? I just looked at him and said "anyone that would show up in the rain with his grandfather is a jeep man for sure"! He smiled and so did his grandfather. Then he asked "would you happen to have some tools"? So I grabbed the tool kit out of the XJ and let him go at it. I enjoy seeing and helping people that I meet along the jeep path!

It's a jeep thing when you roll in your garage. Get ou of the car and your wife throws her door open banging it into the old Dana 35 axle sitting on jack stands. She looks at you and says "when are you going to get this axle out of here"!! I swear she has done that at least 10 times now. You would think she would remember it's there!

It's also a Jeep thing when you can't even GIVE AWAY a Dana 35!!

Great story, I love it.



IAJTW your wife goes for her first ride in your new(er) XJ, and the first words she says are "oh, this one makes that noise too...."


IAJTW when it literally makes you angry to hear someone refer to a Suzuki Samurai, a Chevy Blazer or a Ford Explorer as a "jeep."

It's a jeep thing when you take apart your jeep and have a bunch of screws and bolts left over after it's assembled...

its a jeep thing when your wife ask when we can take it up to the snow again

Been there. Swapped entirely everything from a 91 to 85 xj and when I was done I think I had 5 lbs of misc nuts and bolts left over

its a jeep thing when you're selling a wrangler, and the guy who your friend bought his wrangler from shows up just to look at it.(guy tried to sell me the same junk winch for 600 dollars that my friend declined to buy with his jeep haha) then spends a half hour looking at your xj and talking about the lift that is about to go in it.

its a jeep thing when your xj has been garaged for awhile during a build and all your neighbors take a peek going by when youve got the door open to see whats going on
