I'm at Belle Tire right now. While checking the Jeep in, I tell the guy its a Cherokee. He replies "regular, or Grand?" I say "XJ"... he says "I thought XJ was a Wrangler?"

My day is shot.

 

Dude that's rough I'm so sorry lol

 

Ouch.

 

You shoulda messed with his head, lol tell him yeah, its the unibody wrangler that has more storage space, no removable top, and wheels better then punched his teeth through his throat

 

me and my buddy are wheeling in the hills and we come up to a steep hill, to which to proceeds to say

"think you can make that?"
i reply with "thats what 4hi is for!"
and proceed to go up the hill no problem

 

This has to be at least the 100th time someone has said this but...my stepbrother told his mother about how I wrecked my Cherokee and got a new one a couple of months later, So she was talking to me today at my towns Fireman's Convention and she said "So what kind of Jeep did you get?" I said I got another Cherokee. Her only response to this was "Oh, I though you would have gotten like a "Jeep" Jeep".

 

My grandpa told me a couple days ago why i have mud tires on my stationwagon i told him, have you ver seen another station wagon thats lifted? I drive a jeep, grandpa, and i wheel it like crazy, therefore, i need mud tires. His response was "no, you dont have a 'real' jeep, you have a piece of crap that should stay on the pavement before you break something. If you really wanna wheel, we can take my truck" ( 97 f150 2wd on highway tires) i was soooooooo furious that day

 

My brother asked me what I I planned to do for a lift...told him im planning a 4.5" suspension lift and he said "a body lift would be easier" I just said nah i'll go with the suspension lift
I just couldnt laugh in his face about it

As for all the people that get told they're xj is a pos I say tell them my xj may break down but atleast I can fix it myself without needing a can opener to get to every part

Thats one thing I love the most about them they are easily fixable with just a lil common sense

 

A friend from high school got a brand new 2011 JK Rubicon Unlimited. It's bone stock and she commented on a Facebook picture I posted of my XJ. It was this picture:

The comment: "Our Jeeps should meet up one day so I can teach you what a real one can do.

 

Meet up whith her and show her what a stock xj can do. (Stock as far as I know).

 

I'm stock except the wheels, and I'm even -3.5" in the back from bad springs. Her Rubi is immaculate, never dirty, not a scratch on it, and she's afraid to wheel it cause she's making payments.

 

Tell ur bro to look at ur xj and see how you could lift the body lol its a uni frame

 

Uni body... frame is tied in with body

 

It is actually technically uniframe. It has a full length frame, but it is not as rigid as a "real" frame, it doesn't need to be. It is tied to the rest of the body, sort of a hybrid of a framed vehicle and unibody since it uses the "frame" and the body as structural support.

 

The uniframe is actually for the mj. Due to an actual frame made in the rear.
