Heard this from a buddy with a TJ the other day...
"There's Jeeps, then the rest of you guys with your wagons."
My response: "So tell me, how often has your TJ on 35's seen anything but pavement?"
He was quiet after that.

Why not?
"Your Cherokee won't keep up with our tundra and tacomas."
I have wheeling experience and recovery gear when you get stuck, so don't call me when y'all do.
That pissed me off...

I was at a pretty famous 4X4 shop in Ogden, Utah getting a set of leaf springs for my XJ a couple weeks ago, and I was asked, "Is it a Grand or regular?" I almost said something, but just let it go. I mean, come on, if the guy new anything about Jeeps he would not have asked, since they were "leaf" springs! I feel really sorry about parts-jockeys that know nothing about what they are selling.

I was at the auto parts store (or called them, can't remember) and was looking for parts for my t-case. Told the guy it was for a 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L. Then he proceeds to ask if it is 2wd or 4wd. Sometimes I have to work really hard not to get sarcastic with people and act in a more Christ-like way instead of being a bigger jerk than they are an idiot.

Particularly dealerships, one of my brother's coworkers at Toyota has been responsible for two destroyed engines in the last 6 months. Why they haven't fired him, I can't say.
