Default Jeep Achievements

Those of you out there who play video games are probably familiar with achievements. For those of you who aren't familiar, the term refers to "milestone awards" in games, such as "Kill 100 bad guys" or "Win 20 races", etc.

I was thinking... we should come up with our own "XJ Ownership Achievements".

Tell us which ones you've earned, and list some more ideas!

----------------------------------

XJ Achievements

Getting Started
Lift your XJ 3 inches or less

That's More Like It
Lift your XJ more than 3 inches

Zen-Like Driving Behavior
Achieve 20 mpg average on one tank

Eh, that'll do.
Make a successful repair without using any real tools... or repair parts.

Who needs wings?
Experience the gift of automotive flight

Horizon Inverter
You rolled your XJ!

You said what?
You had to slow down to hear what your passenger was saying.

Mall Crawlin'
That a photo of your XJ with at least one tire on a curb or parking block.

Mad Flex
Take a photo of your XJ flexed to it's maximum - regardless of lift size.

Post more!!!

Getting Started:
(3" lift)

That's More Like It:
(4" of lift)

Mad Flex:
(I need longer front shocks )

Fresh Coat of Paint:


I've also gotten:
Zen-Like Driving Behavior (when it was bone stock)
Eh, that'll do. (used a coat hanger to hold up my broken exhaust pipe)
spent $100 on gas in 1 day (gotta love having to drive at least 4 hours to do any good wheeling)
Gotta bail/passenger is a chicken (some people don't like the feeling of being on 2 wheels. I don't know why.)


A few achievement ideas...

One Happy Family
- wheeling with a fellow Jeeper



Off the Beaten Path - your first off-road trip


Just Breaking it In
- 250k on the odometer (I've got a long way to go to get this one)

Forward Progress No-More - Stuck and you can't get out of it alone
(stuck on my diffs)

One Man's Trash... - install a junkyard part on your XJ
(ZJ seat swap)
