I was riding in my buddy's xj and a bad storm had hit a little while earlier...some trees lay in the middle of the road. A guy who lived right by the trees was out directing traffic to turn around. He waves us down and says "son I think you're gonna have to turn around and just follow these other cars... They're all going back and around another way."

Needless to say we didn't take his advice...

Someone I know said the same thing to me, so I bought a 2500 Suburban as a tow rig.

"Why don't you just trade it in for a 4dr Wrangler"

The 4dr JK with a hard top looks suspiciously similar to my wife's '99 XJ four door. Who's the wanna be now?

I ran over a downed telephone pole in the 88 XJ I had before. It was raining so hard that I couldn't see very far and I was cruising at about 55 mph, I hit the brakes when I saw it but still hit it doing at least 30 or 35. I pictured a punctured oil pan or broken steering/suspension parts. The only thing that got broken was my fog lights. The XJ is a tank.

Nice. Someone driving a 2WD Wrongler asked me "What would you need a 4x4 Jeep for, my real Jeep gets around just fine, roads are paved you know." I couldn't help but laugh in his face.

It actually happened to me today! I walked in with the old battery and said I needed a new battery for my 2001 Cherokee Sport, 4.0. He gave me a battery for a Grand. When I called him on it, the kid that was half his age started laughing at him from behind the counter.

That was priceless!
