Ian Douglas I did but if you had a wrangler you wouldn't have to apply that statement to something a simple as a bumper

Chris Thayer Ya but I already have a bumper that I like that is just as good as the one your talking about. Plus, I dont have to apply that statement to make my wheelbase longer either, because its already at the perfect wheelbase

Ian Douglas Well sir just remember that just cause you drive something that says jeep on it doesn't make it a real jeep and the respect is still reserved for us wrangler guys

Chris Thayer Respect from who other Wrongler rolling tents. See you know Im right. So now you have to bring up the Jeep hierarchy, which was made up by a bunch of guys with rolling tents so it really doesnt count anyways that TJ's are higher on the list than XJ's.

Ian Douglas **** I'm pretty sure that you and I both know that the square headlight jeeps are just the bastard child of the brand there like the ugly baby that the parents keep locked away so the reel jeeps don't laugh at them

Chris Thayer Maybe but they're the perfect bastar child. Perfect wheelbase, plenty of room, plenty durable, and plenty capable, and I'm pretty sure we both know that.

when i go out on a trail, i don't wanna decide whether to take the cooler or the toolbox. i like being able to take both, and two passengers, and my dog and still have room for lawn chairs. try that in a TJ. besides, TJ is just a buggy with a windshield. if i wanted a buggy, i'd build one, not spend my money on an expensive project buggy potential.

Ask him how much he got his TJ for and compare to how much you got your XJ for. I know I got my 98 XJ for 400 bucks and it will do anything a TJ will except it can carry more things while doing it. You spend 10+ grand on a TJ, and you have the same front axle, steering, suspension, transfercase, motor, etc, That the XJ does that you bought for 1000 bucks. Tell him that and see what he says. Hes just mad because he overpaid so he has to compensate with a snappy attitude. Does he drive a monster truck too? Maybe theres more compensation going on then were think

There's something that wrangler people dont understand there wouldn't be a wrangler without the Cherokee back in the 80s amc needed to replace the cj AMC being broke at the time couldn't afford to develop a whole new car so what they did was cherry pick all of the suspension drive train and engine components from the Cherokee so the XJ saved your beloved wrangler and there are these losers hating on them you know who you are all those people who dont know anything about cars that say its a jeep thing all the time
