Heres a few I've done/noticed recently.
YKYDAXJ when you almost crash because you got too distracted by a built up XJ traveling in the oncoming lane.
YKYDAXJ when the only things that aren't rusted underneath are the parts that always have had a coating of oil due to constant leaks.
YKYDAXJ when you drive for 7k miles before realizing your rear axle is off center and that's what the clunk from the rear end is when going around corners...but still don't know what's causing it and continue to drive it every day lol.
YKYDAXJ when you don't even notice the whining rear end anymore when going around a curve.
YKYDAXJ when the only thing you wash is the windows so the grit doesn't scratch the glass when rolling them down.

YKYDAXJ when you look forward to driving places and picking people up since you're not in YJ anymore.
YKYDAXJ When you sit at work and constantly check what your cost on lift kits/wheels/tires etc are (i work for an aftermarket part wholesale company)
... and keep adding to it! we got all the big lift companies, Rubicon Express especially 
YKYDAXJ when you try to start a "cherokee wave" every time you pass another XJ.

when you park next to another xj and hope that you both go to your jeep at the same time so you can talk to them
when you are walking to your xj after school and their is a sticky note on your door handle from another jeep owner exchanging information to wheel and hang
when you get pissed when seeing some little dbag driving one. (the kid was irritating me with pure douchness me for hours and i see him get into an xj in the parking lot

I went to school with this kid who I was "friends" with in middle school. He was always odd so I didn't get to know him much but a few years back he plead guilty to molesting a 4 year old girl. The last couple years of school he never showed up. I saw him driving a cherokee on day and instantly felt very ill. He must work at taco bell because he is always parked there. Haven't eaten tere in a long time now.

YKYDAXJW you are stopped at a red light and a lifted wrongler pulls up behind you so you hit your rear wiper (since the hose is disconnected) and **** all over his hood.
