You know you own a XJ/ZJ when you are driving and every other XJ/ZJ you see on the side of the road or abandoned somewhere gets you thinking, man i'd love to grab that_____insert part here_____
I saw a jeep like mine and wanted to pull the hood and fenders and just leave them my faded ones....
Anyone else do the finger wave to other jeep drivers??? I've taught my girl that one, but I had to correct her the other day. " no no babe, we don't wave to Libertys or Patriots, those aren't actual jeeps"

I haven't seen the finger wave yet...I've used the head nod though.
But I've been driving the XJ for 3 months now, still a noob.
Head nod to you all!

I raced a modified and lowered 1996 BMW 328i Coupe 5-speed manual.... I beat him to 50
then he flew by me haha... I thought I was beating an E36 M3 lmao till I talked to him(well honestly, when he was flooring it and I was pulling away is when I realized). I also beat a 2002 GMC Yukon and 2003 Ford Mustang V6(All three of us raced together, I always got the jump to about 1-2 cars away then stayed there, the Yukon barely lost out by like a bumper to the Mustang) and a 2003 Ford Explorer V6..... Yeah that's Oklahoma nw 39th street saturday night for you.... Everyone slow races lol.
If I had a 4wd xj I would not be so bored.

YKYDAXJW you have been waiting to get her back on the road after you warp the head, you finally got the new one on and get her started then later that night you take her out on the property and break the driveshaft and bend the drag link...
