It would be a virus if it couldn't be cured. Like herpes.

I've heard of it happening to others but I didn't think it would ever happen to me. I was calling some parts stores and well when I told one that I had a 1987 Jeep Cherokee she asked was the wagoneer, the grand or the little one!!! SCEAMING WTF?!?!(in my head) Are u serious! How am I supposed to respond to that if I didn't need the part so bad I would have hung up on her *** then called her back just so I could hang up on her again cause once wouldn't be enough.

I dig those old '86 4runners. I had an 86 truck pre-Tacoma and loved it but super jealous of the 4runner owners who could take the top off.

Those FJs are ugly mothers! Ew

Co-worker: wasnt that your car parked in the back.
Me: i dont own a car. You mean my jeep Yeah.
Co-worker: arent you driving your car
Me: i am driving my car. I have my blazer.
Co-worker: so you arent driving your other car When did it stop running
Me (annoyed): my JEEP still runs, i just can't keep up on the bit of work it needs with gas being so damn high.
2nd co-worker listening in: so your other car died It was crappy anyway.

If the coworkers weren't a waitress and a mentally handicapped dishwasher, i would have slapped them both.

GF: I think I'm starting to like the jeep

Me: That's because it's awesome

GF: Except when it goes over 50, that's scary

Me: shut up

I wanted an old Toyota Truck, but I bought my XJ due to a lack of options. Then it rolled, and I bought an MJ. I'm happy with the Comanche

I loved it. It had 44 waggy axles and a 7in lift on 37s. I blew the tranny, both tcases and engine in the sluice box on the Rubicon in one day. Plus it was my DD so I had to get a new car and that is my XJ. I'm saving the 44s for my XJ when I get enough to get new rims, tires, and a long arm kit for my 6.5in lifted XJ.

Even though I was a horny bastard, I would have gone alone.

Often people around me drool over newer Wranglers or Range Rovers and my come-back is always...

Why would you pay so much for something that is 4WD and not going off-road?

I can't imagine spending so much on something I am gonna beat the cr.p out of. But I also do not total up my spending on the XJ.

Dude that sucks for the yota, but I guess it was the jeep gods calling down to you, lol.
Bought my yota had 32s with a decent lift, I don't remember exactly how tall. Blew the head gasket down in LA and it still got me all the way up to Oakland and around town for a week. Miss that truck, but it gives me even more drive to lift and wheel my XJ now.
