used to have a jeep wagoneer double stroller and a baby blue jeep umbrella stroller w/ matching diaper bag and some other little bag to match it... we obtained all of these items before I ever even had my first jeep - wife wanted them... we were apparently destined to be jeep owners

YKYDAXJW you see a glimpse of an XJ on the highway and push it to 75, despite all the rattles, clunks, and death wobble, just to see what the other guy (or gal) is drivin'.
================================================
YKYDAXJW your basic XJ tool kit consists of duck tape, WD40, a small fire extinguisher, and two twenty-four packs of mountain dew. (If it move's and it shouldn't, use the duck tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD40. If you can't move and you need to, crack open another 'Dew. If the last words to come out of your mouth went something like this: "SH**!! THE MOTHER******* JEEP IS ON FIRE!!!!! GOD ******* DANGIT!!!!" ...Use the fire extinguisher.)
Upgrades to tool kit:
Stack of NAPA parts books- Supposedly makes it easier to order parts, so you have the NAPA part number when you walk in the door- In reality makes it 10 times harder because nothing seems to be where you would put it if you designed the books.
Cheap hand rags- used to try to clean dirt, grease, oil, and other crud off your hands before you look through the parts book. In all reality, it only gets 30% of it off, and the rest promptly transfers to the pages anyway.
battery powered AM/FM radio toolbox- keeps you from going insane when doing quiet, tedious tasks.. Like trying to hunt down the one part you need in the heap of NAPA parts books with grease, oil, and crud stained pages.
Haynes Service Manual- You have this so that, when you finally find and have the NAPA parts you need, you have some kind of a clue how the heck it goes back together, because it took so long to have the parts delivered to the local NAPA (Thanks, backorder) that you've forgotten how it came apart by now.

Only one of my friends who doesn't have an Iphone or an Ipod.. no Ipad either. I just get cheapo stuff.. (for more or less obvious reasons.) *cough*XJ*cough*
YKYDAXJW you get home from a trip in the RAM across the state line, and the first thing you do when you see your new XJ in the driveway is hug it and lay on the hood. The second thing you do- (after takin' grandpas shotgun inside and lockin' it up) Is drive it into town to "look at my church that caught fire" A.K.A., checking for death wobble. Answer: yes- slightly.
