I HATE the, "Why don't you get a real man's Jeep."
or, "Real Jeeps have frames"
"Nice grocery getter"
My 2 friends give me that crap all the time...even though one has an '89 YJ with no 4WD and the other has an '03 TJ with street tires

"When are you going to get all those scratches buffed out?!"
What scratches, I only see some complimentary pinstripes, courtesy of mother nature,

I love the grocery getter comments. My response, you're right I do get groceries with my xj, while your home an your truck can't make it through the blizzard.

^ This ^.. You can also have a shop regear your axles to bring your jeep back to it's stock power levels after adding bigger tires as well if you so please.. The I6 is a great engine, ENJOY The lift and upgrade in tire size
