Then getting almost stuck in an area just as deep a year later but thanks to the work that i did she pulled out like nothing was wrong with spinning tires under water.

One of my first experiences with a cherokee. About 6 or 7 years ago, I went to a mud bog/trail ride with a couple of friends, alnog with their offroad club. I was going to bring my truck but it had issues right before, so I rode with a buddy in his kee. Needless to say I was impressed on how well it did in comparison with the larger rigs (he was on 31" swampers), it went everywhere he asked it too. At the end of the ride, my friend was too tired to make the 2.5 hour drive back so I offered to drive. All was well, we get on the first leg of highway, no problems. We exit into a small town, down the main street I feel the jeep do a wobble type thing (different than death wobble), it goes away, I wake my friend up and ask if it's normal (knowing his vehicles, lol). It comes back, he says no prob, there's probably some mud in the wheel, I say ok.
About 5 minutes go by, it comes back very violently, next thing I know, the left front of the jeep slams to the ground and I see a 31" swamper eject from the fender. My friend wakes up, grabs the cb, yells over it "we gotta blowout!" , friend on the other line " the **** you do! your tire and wheel just passed us" haha. I got the jeep safely pulled to the side of the road, sent a retriever out to get the wheel. Lucky it didn't hit anyone or anything. We threw on the spare, torqued the rest of the wheels and we were back on our way, lol. Learned that one should always check their lugs after wheeling especially with alloy wheels.

drinking jager up in the san luis valley with some friends, blacking out for 7 hours, losing shoes, putting "firewood"(aka full trees) on my roof rack, and getting lost after slamming my XJ into a 3' berm trying to do doughnuts and beating up one of my friends and getting beat up by another one of my friends. Best night of my life so far, not smart or safe, but fun
jager drunk, is a fun, but stupid drunk. Your brain practically shuts off.

My best memory with my Jeep?
I was driving home last summer right after completing a rad swap (the first hands on, yank crap out of there job I'd done on it at the time). I had my sun glasses on, some really nice rock music on the radio, and the window down.
On the way home I drive along a 1 mile long flat stretch of road. The time of day musta been perfect, because the sun was shining right on the XJ and through the window on me, with the roar of my 4.0 beneath my feet, one hand on the wheel, other out the window. And for that one moment, everything was in perfect harmony between me and my Jeep.
That's my best memory.

I just remember being extremely bummed out one day, then deciding to get in my Jeep and just drive til I couldn't anymore. I ended up in Augusta, GA feeling much better. Rolling through the Sumter national forest in the middle of the day is peaceful.
