Roomate "Let's take my xterra. The heater works better, it's quieter and it rides way better. I don't know why you have a jeep"
Me "The heater works great, it's noisy cuz it's running, and if I wanted a nice ride I would have bought something that wasn't designed to go off road. Like an xterra."
(The next day)
Roomate "it snowed like 2 feet last night. Will you drive down to the highway so the snow is cleared enough for me to get out?"
Me "Sure, I'll just take my crappy jeep that I'm dumb for buying for way cheaper than your awesome smooth-riding xterra"
Her "..."

This is really just a matter of preference, I think it should be called a Jeep or station wagon, not a "truck". My title, registration, and insurance say station wagon. The EPA sticker under the hood says "light truck". This argument will be around as long as the Cherokee...

Got into work tonight and a guy there and I got to talking about my XJ and when I said I had a cherokee he first asked "the regular or the laredo?"after saying the regular I said how I just did the lift,and he then asks me suspension or body?
First thing I thought of was all you guys and what I would have liked to say but not knowing the guy I said no just suspension you cant do a body lift on a unibody...he was like I dont know what that means.
.then I had to explain what a unibody was...
Got the two for one deal tonight

Cherokee's have no offroad capability.
Get a man's Jeep, only **** have Cherokees
What's that rattle/squeak/noise?
Why do you put so much money into that piece of ****?
I hear these things daily from my friends XD

Well from experience. With yjs the xjs hold up better and ya don't break nearly. As much stuff oh I forgot to add atleast we have. Enough space to pull out the back seats and sleep if stranded
