As long as they have live front and rear axles they are as Jeep as a Jeep can be.. Some people just erk me in that if it's not a open body Jeep then it's not a real jeep.. **** them.. The seperation is True Jeeps and IFS Jeeps.. That and the markets each jeep targets (A,B,& C) is the only seperation when talking about Jeeps you will get from me in general when talking about emptying ones pocket for the vehlices we love..

Guy I work with was like why did you put a bumper on that pos, I was like might as well bolt fresh steel to the rusty junk (not that rusty)
And another time he was like your gonna blow the engine in that pile of junk so I mashed it and drifted out of the lot lol
Here is his little Honda next to my jeep and before my bumper that I put on last week
Pardon the twig in the way

My brother and I used to drive the jeep to work and we got more than our fair share of **** for it. One by one the comments would pour in about how crappy it was or how it "sounds like it's about to die". The best part is that it got us to and from work every single day while one by one every person that commented had some kind of major car issue while the jeep just kept chugging along. Still running strong, only issue that "disabled it" was the drivers seat decided to break apart. $50 for another seat and it was all good.

The best part about ricer's is leaving them at stoplights wondering "Did I just get smoked by a mail man?"
Another thing about XJ's is if you're over weight you dont look completely out of place getting in and out of your Jeep. But with ricers it's like the bigger the guy the smaller the cockpit they try to squeeze in. They all remind me of Donkey Kong on MarioKart. lol. Except for the 3'9 guys, then I feel sorry for them that they cant reach the middle shelf like the rest of us.

Funny I got out of my 88 civic EF hatchback at the gas station and a guy with a stock 4x4 2500 dodge yells "hey you know they make bigger cars right?" I was like "Yeah, but it gets 45 miles per gallon" He didnt make another sound LOLOL
I love my jeeps tho. I was always a v8 guy, I toyed with soem hondas and it led me to meet a jeeper who had a crx I ended up buying for parts, he took me wheeling, and since then I've been hooked bad.
Now I've got one of the meanest xj shells around lol it just needs more cage + exo
Im also one who hates when its called a Truck, but it pisses me off so bad, when people are on a jeep forum, like jeep forum, or cherokee forum, AND THEY STILL CALL IT A CAR, die in a fire.
My wife called it a pos in my jf build thread, and she got flamed lolll (not by me) in her defense tho, she buys me all kinds of cool **** for it.

Said by my girlfriend "I need some kind of booster seat in your jeep from the way you drive."
She said this after I pulled a hard left turn

At work:
"You're already driving a deathtrap, and you want to make it worse?!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Jeeps roll every time they turn, and you want to lift it. You're gonna kill yourself!"
"2 hours ago you were yelling at me for forgetting I don't drive a Camaro anymore. And I'm only lifting 3 inches. People go a lot higher all the time, and they've been doing it in Cherokees for almost 3 decades."
"Well when you end up in the ER, I'm gonna be there to say I told you so."
(Then she continued to tell me that a good ORV is wide; not high, because I'm raising my center of gravity, and I'm gonna tip over. I tried to explain the difference between sprung and unsprung weight, and I tried to explain the concept of an axle swap and offset wheels. She told me I'm stupid. That's a quote from a 30+ year old woman who doesn't understand physics. "Well you're just stupid.")
