Things not to say to an XJ owner:
If I wanted a hummer I'd ask your sister (only reason you don't say this to an XJ owner is because they'll end up laughing to death)

My dearest 16 year old Griff.
I voiced an opinion, darling. An opinion MANY people on here share, yet unfortunately I'm the only one who cared enough to say something. I've had numerous messages telling me how much they agree with all that I said - great. I know a lot of people on here are ashamed of the childlike behaviour. I can appreciate how someone of your age wouldn't understand why I said what I said. You'll take that as an insult, however I assure you it's not meant as one.
I just find it a little bothersome that the vast majority of posters on here think they're so much better than every other vehicle owner, and that XJ's are the only vehicle that should be respected, and can only curse and run every non XJ owner down. It's pathetic. Especially considering how old some of you are.
I'm 28. I'm young enough to still get out there and get covered in mud and roll over fallen trees and "roll with the cool kids", but I'm also old enough to know that it's NOT "cool" to talk like you've never entered an educational facility. Have a little respect, is all I'm saying. This IS a public forum that anyone on the internet can see - keep that in mind. There are a LOT of children out there, considering buying Jeeps, that will see these forums. Parents of those children will see these forums. And those parents, having seen the crap that's mentioned on here, may think twice about letting their children turn into... gasp... you.
Rants over.
Never tell an XJ owner's girlfriend how much money he's put into it.
I think we can all attest to that.

Typical conversation over here:
-So, what car do you have?
-I have a Jeep.
-Oh, that's awesome, does it have a soft top?
-No, it's a cherokee.
-Cherokee?? i thought you had a Jeep, you know... a real one..
After getting shortly pissed i usually point out some technical differences that make the cherokee a better off road vehicle than a wrangler.
First of all, the cherokee weighs 1000 lb less and considering it has the same drivetrain it will handle better.
The front axle is a reverse cut high pinion dana30, stronger than a conventional low pinion dana30 found in a wrangler.
etc etc..
