That's the pickup? The MJ. The TJ is the Wrangler, if I remember correctly. I like the Wrangler cause of the ragtop. They have covers from the back of the front seat to the truck lid. I need that for the summer!

Mine sucks! The K&N let's me spin my wheels and has great power. But a trip to Philly and back is maybe a full tank. Bridgeport kills me at 5/8th there 3/8th coming back. If no traffic!

Everytime I go to a part store or dealer and ask for a part for a 91 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. And then they go to there computer and say okay Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. As I remember the ZJ was made in 1993 and I didnt say Jeep "Grand" Cherokee. Same goes when looking online. Get more results of Grand Cherokee then Jeep Cherokee. I learned to search Jeep Cherokee with the ending of "Sport" behind it.

And my favorite:
::walk into auto parts store, and tell them, "I need such and such a part for a '99 Jeep Cherokee, 4 wheel drive, 4.0 inline 6." Their response, "Grand Cherokee or regular?" Did I SAY grand at any point?::
haha this sounds same everywhere i guess.
When i go to a parts store and tell them car is 4.0 inline 6 ZJ 1997 make, question is always wasn't that car 5.2? or is it XJ? they dont know what they sell.

i always search with "jeep xj" so i don't get grand cherokee stuff

yesterday at work i was bringing in all the shopping carts at the end of the day and as i was pushing them in i was admiring my cherokee across the parking lot. As i pushed all the carts into the store i passed customer service and for some reason felt i had to tell the person working there that "i love my jeep" and she replyed "me to" i instently stopped her there and said " no you don't have a jeep you have a pathfinder... big difference" and she looked at me like i was stupid and said "its a jeep to its just like yours" i couldn't believe she actually thought hers was a jeep i told her it was an suv and she said nooo it was a jeep .... eventually i realized that i wouldn't be able to teach her the difference and left

I know some people say the same thing about their ChevyTracker.

To me Its looks almost like a Liberty.

But there probably thinking its a TJ exspecialy the 2 door ones.

I like the 80s, earily 90s TJs.

I kinda don't like the newer ones. They made them very wide and big And it kinda don't even look like a TJ anymore.

I feel you. A Manager at Autozone has that Montero... I think. And I referred to my Jeep as a Jeep. And he said mine too. I said no, a Jeep and pointed to the Logo. He looked like I dissed him. I'm saying in the back of my head, how dare you say a jeep for something that can't even come close to my jeep.

I hate when ppl say I have a Jeep.... I have to tell them, no that's a truck. Even more when my mom was in the Army during the Jeep era, she says "I thought I saw your truck..." and I say. Not my JEEP

My friend works at Vato zone and some guy came needing muffler bearings. My friend thought he was kidding, and asked if he also needed blinker fluid. The guy said he was serious, needs muffler bearings for a BMW. My friend looks up the part, and sure enough, they have them for like $130.
