Had one of my neighbors come over and ask me if I lifted it enough to stuff some 24" wheels on it.

My girlfriend loves my Jeep, but her Audi is a little more practical for driving on the highway since it gets like 26mpg and is quiet inside, doesn't shake, and rides smooth. Also it doesn't roll when you drive fast on mountain roads, thats a plus.

Something not to say to an XJ owner... or any enthusiast... "you put so much money in that old car/truck/Jeep... you could have bought a new one!"

100% right. Off road for others mean it broke down and is off the road.

land rovers are a dime a dozen but yet they are too expensive to fix its a joke. Everything must be done by the stealership

How about NOT layin on your dump truck horn!
My daughter (student driver) was takin us to town, in the clearly marked black and pink Hello Kitty ZJ, doin the speed limit, good teaching practice, dump truck overtakes us doin 20+ over the limit. Keeps zoomin up our ash and then lays on the big horn. The one on the wheel as he obviously is compensating for not having a big horn of his own. Of course I lean out the window and give several hand signals directing his focus to the sky.
I commend my daughter as she kept her cool and scolded me for my road rage reaction. I am still "upset" about it. What gives? No matter what speed I drive I always have some fool up my tail, but I really get upset when it happens to the kids.
