My back seat is only ever up if I have more than 2 people in the XJ, which is not often. Though my trail box (big ammo crate) in the back gets in the way when back there.

You know you drive an XJ when you meet a new friend in auto tech class, mostly because he drives a sweet XJ. Then get yelled at by the instructor in the shop when you stand under the XJ on the lift talking about it for almost an hour.

When you add up what the lift, mods, wheels, tires, etc. are going to cost and it looks reasonable, but if you had to spend that much on any other vehicle you've owned you would have junked that p.o.s.!

You know you drive an XJ when youve been up for only 30 minutes and 29 of those are spent on here.

Sorry to hear it, man. I see park service XJs around here, and I always offer to trade. No luck yet.

Eh,I think the police may have confiscated it and used it for undercover drug buys and stuff. Radio was gone,console was cracked pretty good,looked like it had front seal issues maybe. Like I said,needed some love..Would've been nice to build and wheel without worrying about beating it up though.

You know you drive and XJ when you total it, get another one and feel like you're cheating on the one you just totaled.

You know you drive an Xj when you can't parallel park it since you lifted it because when you look out the rear window all you see is the roof of the car two cars behind you.

(True story.... ask the Pontiac G6 that went under my rear bumper and ate my tire )

Lol that's my old setup. The moral of the story though is..... Lifted Xj + brand new Pontiac G6 = very upset insurance company =P. Funny part was.... I had no idea there was a car anywhere behind me.... I couldn't see it in any of my mirrors and would have never known it if I didn't hear the loud cracking sound of its' headlight and bumper. The dent my leaf spring left on the hood was priceless though. I've had two accidents in my life, both were on my birthday... This was one of them.


To stay on topic: You know you drive an Xj when you hit a pothole and wonder is the bang of your short arms being forced up into the unibody is as loud outside as it is inside your rig.
