The plow guy at work looks at me every day and asks me when I'm going to take him "wagoneering"then tells me to buy a chevy. Needless to say I pulled his diesel chev out of a snowbank.

While at work (I work at a Sears Outlet) I was helping a guy load some appliances into the bed of a small, older but slightly lifted Tacoma pickup with 33" Mickey Thompson mudders on it. I commented on his nice tires and said that I couldn't wait to get some new tires for my 4x4. He ask, "what do you drive"? I said a 1993 Jeep Cherokee XJ. He said, "I thought you drove a MAN's 4x4" I said I do, that's why I drive a Jeep and not a Toyota.

His girl spoke up and said, "did he say this was his truck"? I said yeah, she said, "No no no, this is MY truck". I looked at the guy and said, "see what I mean"? He walked away.

Nice... my brother's always telling me "You should get an SUV with more luxury stuff in it, like a Cadillac or something." I always tell him my Cherokee's got plenty, the air conditioner still works.

Today, we were going on a mudding trip thanks to the recently melted snow. My buddy drives a 1996 2-dr Explorer, I drive my BONE stock 91 XJ, and my friends stepdad drove his 2002 Ford F-150.

We get to the first muddy hill with a decent slope and lots of mud. My friend with the Explorer does NOTHING but brag about "his truck is better than mine" and how "my XJ will never make it". Well, long story short... actually, short story, I made it up the hill no problem.

Friends turn. He starts climbin, and SPIN SPIN SPIN. He tried 4 different times, and spun. Finally, I told him hold a second. He stops, and I get in my XJ and turn it around so the front is facing towards the Explorer. I get out, and sit beside the Jeep. My friend asks," What are you doing?"

I respond "Letting my Jeep watch your almighty Explorer fail."

I seriously hate liberties and I'm ashamed they Carry the jeep name. What's worse is they replace the XJ with that

A kid at school asked me what I drive. I responded "a Jeep Cherokee". He said "oh the 2011?, I told him "no I drive a '96 Cherokee". He then said "ew why the hell would you have such an old CAR".

There's two things I absolutely CAN'T STAND.
#1: Getting The CHEROKEE and the GRAND CHEROKEE mixed up
#2: Calling a Jeep a CAR.

People think I'm crazy when I praise my stock 01 so much but during the great snowstorm we just had I had no problems plowing through snow. I'll never trade my beast for anything else
