Standing around at car meets with some rather arrogant truck/Rover owners, discussing wheeling trips, buying parts, etc. I was talking about a part of a previous trip, and a friend turned and said "Well of course you don't mind doing that, your truck was only $600."
So... because I didn't spend 10k+ on my truck, it's less worthy, or I shouldn't give a damn about it? I've spent probably 13k+ on just Jeeps, this is the cheapest one I ever bought, and it's still gonna outwheel them as usual.
Sorry.

one i hear everyday at work:
friend: Whats your fasination with your Jeep??? i can go everywhere you can.
Me: yeah but i do it in two wheel drive.
My wife used to tell me your gonna get stuck and don't crawl that now she tells me which line to take and spots for me, while my boys are passed out in the back seat. We make wheelin a family affair.
Friend: Why would you buy a jeep you can only put 33's on it...
Me: UH i have a dana 44 out back and a HP 30 up fron't i think i can pretty much put what i want on it..
friend: Oh i didn't know they came with anything but dana 35's
Me: thats why you don't drive a jeep.
OH and my favorite, when my friends walk up to my two year old and ask him if that is daddy's car, he looks at them and says NO daddy JEEP!! hahahaha

Hey. Don't be hatin' on me because i responded to an unnecessary comment in the way i saw fit. All i was doing was trying to get a little help on my jeep. I'm sorry you people wear your feelings on your shirt sleeves. I will sell this XJ and let him drive one of my other real jeeps instead of this squeaky unibody hunk of crap. Yall enjoy. I'm out.
And quite frankly, I adore my XJ's lil squeaks, knocks, ticks, and squeals! Hearing them brings me home again....

lol this is what a noob had posted in the tech section. He didn't get immediate results and started throwing a fit. Lol the guy couldn't even install a new fan shroud, and he says he owns more jeeps...I betcha he thinks the Rav4 is a jeep!

"will this thing make it" Usually results in me flooring it, up to 5000rpm and 60mph. Knocking motor and all.
They usually shut up after that.
"Your jeep is pretty rickety, I think you need to get rid of it" -mom

Had a kid tell me he was selling his XJ for a TJ, cause he didn't like its IFS! Lol
The sales man that sold my dad his TJ said, "ya these V6's are bullet proof"! No stupid these I6's are bullet proof, now go sell a cobalt or something...
