The quart of oil I leak every 300 miles directly onto the exhaust. A vacuum system to engage 4x4, and how my butt gets wet when i drive up a canal.... Wait that one is my fault.

Oh and having to keep a parts jeep in my front yard.

How crammed the engine bay is with the 4.0 in it.
Not having a frame
How small the wheel wells are stock
The pre '97 interior
How XJs don't really have any rustproofing
People asking me if I have a V6
People thinking that a grand cherokee and a cherokee are the same thing

-People who call Grand Cherokees Cherokees.
-People who assume you mean Grand Cherokee when you say Cherokee
-People who drive XJs who don't understand the jeep thing.. at all.
-People who think Cherokees are like Compasses, not real Jeeps, and act in according snobbery.
-The cheesy seat brackets/center console mounts.
-The Dual Header that the 4.0 eats like popcorn.
-People who don't know the difference between a V6 and an I6

Poor headroom.
Rear hatch struts not working in cold.
Front stereo speakers that don't work.
Rubber trim that grays-out.
Other than that, I luv it!

You cant loosen a bolt without breaking/stripping the threads.
Poorly designed rear shock mounts
Leaky valve cover gasket
not having a 60/40 rear seat(yes I know gc seats will fit)
Stupid window motors always dieing
And having a solid rear window, would be so much better if the rear hatch window were on hinges so u can open it an access the back without opening the hatch
