In MN the winter air is drier. Which cause static shocks. Since the XJ has a metal rocker that sticks out past the door opening, your leg passes it on the way out. Sooo every time I get a shock in back of my leg.

I live in MN and have never been shocked in that way, but I could see it happening.

Try a Colorado winter. Even if I don't even move I get static shocks on everything metal in my jeep.
