But if there never were any xj's at all Id just lift my commander or buy a yota.

I can agree with that. I think people are just starting to realize they are a perfect all around vehicle, gas mileage isnt horrible, have great space, completely reliable, capable, and can be built into total beasts.

I think people are realizing they have potential offroad and know that they're cheap. In this ****ty economy most people can't afford a nicer Jeep.
If I could afford it I'd be rockin a 2012 4 door Soccer Mom JK on 60's and 40's.

If I could afford it I'd get the 4 door rubicon, if I had to give up the XJ for it...NEVER!!!

Honestly I like Commanders more than the 4 door jk's. I just bought a commander and couldnt be happier. Sure there isnt much aftermarket support for the commander but look at the AEV commander....there is a LOT of potential in those things.

Wrangler's and Cherokees both perform great Offroad, However neither one is better than the other , They both shine in certain situations, an they both can be a hindrance in some situations . I've owned a couple Wranglers and A couple XJ's an I wheeled them both I will admit the XJ is a lot more easy to wheel compared to a wrangler the SWB usually takes a little more finesse.
Personally they are both great But 1 fact anyone can not argue is a Frame will take more abuse than a Unibody offroad You will never hear of a Wrangler Owner complaining about their body cracking after a few years of hard wheeling , An they dont go all out trying to add stiffeners to their rigs so they hold up to offroad abuse either

Muh cherrkee iz bedder den ur wrongler cuz i sey soo.
I like all lifted/modded vehicles honestly. I have my cherokee because it was cheap to modify the way i wanted. If i had my choice of any vehicle, I would have a giant duramax on 40's as my DD. Then something like Showtime to beat to hell and back.. (http://www.pirate4x4.com/news/featur...-of-the-month/ For those of you who dont know Tim Cameron's Showtime)
Those things are nice and awesome, but unfortunately im broke instead of rich. So i think i'll just keep my jeep

I agree with the liberty, seen a lifted patriot and it looked nice but idk if id like to have one. My commander may get a little 2 inch lift and throw some 265's on it for a more agressive look...More good looking females need to move from the wrangler scene to xjs!

I've owned a Liberty. It was actually pretty nice.
It was on it's way to being built but a guy offered me money that I couldn't turn down.
Not mine, Obviously. But they have potential...

Sorry they can't all be as badass as this girl. I only meet one other girl with an XJ in my town, and she doesn't know anything about it. I felt bad I meet her at autozone buying spark plugs and she asked me how many she needed. I was sad wish their we're others here.
