I think I might sell it. The gas mileage isn't very good, and the ride just isn't comfortable. I know everyone here raves about how much they rock for offroading, but honestly, I tried to smoke a guy off the line, and it just wasn't working. That, and it just doesn't look sexy sitting up high. I've tried to find ways to lower it, but there's not much around this forum for that.

Every time I ride in my friend's Hummer, I think to myself, "Damn, this is a fine street machine. I really could go for something like this." I think I might just save up and buy that, and turn my XJ over to the scrap yard for salvage. What do you guys think?





April fools.

personally id go for the geo metro its good on gas I always hear the girls talking about them and the definately look totally rad, If you where to paint it with flames down the sides would look even better, O and they have lots of room so you wouldn't be losing any passenger room or cargo space

Just my humble opinion Others may disagree

lol @ geo metro

You think the gas mileage will be any better on a hummer? And do you think that driving a more expensive, nicer vehicle will change your life? Maybe get more women? Higher social status? It won't. It sounds like your ego has come before with what you've been content with having. I'd say keep the Jeep and appreciate what you have in life.

I personally drove a 2007 Hyundai Elantra GLS before having my 1995 Jeep. Only reason it's gone now is because I needed something bigger to fit in, as I'm 6' 4", 230lbs. It had 4 cylinders and worked fine. Great on gas milage. My Jeep suits me perfectly and my personality.

Might be a Joke.

But H2 and H3 are better street rigs and do get better gas mileage.... They also look better than a XJ when riding on 30" Wheels.

I'm going to trade in my Jeep for a Hummer. I hear they're better for off-roading.

XJ Lift kits are a direct transfer to the Geo Metro

When I got to my Jeep after work today, some D-Bag had parked his bro-dozer right next to it. Thing was on at least 40s and he had so much shiny crap under it that the ground clearance was reduced to stock.
