My sister asked me that. She hates any type of JEEP. But especially the XJ . I told her that "any vehicle has problems, its inevitable. If you take care of em' Jeeps will go forever."

haha yeah, you tell them! A 2001 XJ would be the newest one you could buy.... it would feel new to me considering mine is an '89.

My neighbor asked me that last weekend, after pointing out that I'm always working on it. Tuesday he backed off the side of his driveway, into the culvert, with his Saturn. I watched him, high-centered with all wheels off the ground, cuss and wale for about 45 minutes before I finished my coffee and tired of the show. I broke out the High-Lift jack, unspooled the winch, and had him back on the road in 15 minutes. A tow-truck call would have cost him $80. This is the same neighbor who called me in the middle of the night, scared $h1tless, because someone was breaking into his house and he had no way to defend his family. I apprehended the home invader at his front door... it was his dog scratching to get in.

Here are my faves:
"It smells like dog in here." -I have magnetic signs under my rear windows that read "CAUTION: K9"
"I didn't know they made them like THAT!" -obviously referencing all the custom work I'VE done to it.
"I didn't know that was a JEEP! Sure doesn't look like one to me!" -says the Ken-doll lookalike as he gets into his Camry. He then backed out, ripping off the Camry's front bumper cover, because he had nosed over the parking block.
"So you're one of those guys who thinks he knows something about cars, huh?" -says the 17 y/o ricer with the fart can held on with a wire coat hanger and 60 lbs of Bondo pasting his lightweight body kit in place.
"You're the reason I drive a Prius!" -says the guy whose other car is a Corvette.
Brother-In-Law: "It's a good thing I take the bus to work, so you can have my carbon credits for that thing!" I do wonder why he's 30 with no g/f?
"So...what are your monthly payments on that POS?"
"You need to put some chrome twenty-twos on that thing!" -says the black Ricky Martin.
"I think those look better stock!" -says the stranger, who has incorrectly assumed his unsolicited opinion matters to me. At all.
"Looks like somebody's overcompensating for something!" -says the 40-something bleach-blonde with silicone double-Ds and the skirt so short you can see the wings on her pantyliner.
"That Jeep's just a cheap American rip-off of a Land-Rover!" -says the guy who just admitted he can't afford to join me for lunch at Applebee's because he had to make his Rover payment.

Friend: why did you only put on a 3" lift?
me: don't need anymore right now
him: you can't go anywhere!
me: I just pulled you out didn't I?

guy: Land rover is better
me: why?
guy: they were the first 4x4
me: really? Are YOU SURE?
guy: yeah! But are you going to pull me out of the ditch now or not?


import: why did you buy that? my honda is so much better!
me: your right. That's a nice push mower
import: IT'S NOT A PUSH MOWER!
me: your right... that is an AMAZING riding mower.....

gf: why do you love your xj so much. my rav4 is just as good
me: no it's not
gf: yes it is... i haven't had to do that much to it unlike you and you sank yours!
me: I didn't sink it... it just wanted a really good bath.
gf: sure sure
me: Besides... mine didn't hydro lock on it's own coolant......
my now ex didn't think that was very funny.

You could also say, "Yeah I know, it's BETTER than a wrongler, it's an XJ!"
