My first thought was, oh poor XJ, and i almost cried.
How funny would it have been if the driver got out saw his front then yelled "who wants a free axle?"

you know you drive an XJ when you try to hillbilly rig every small problem you have till everything is almost perfect. Like me with my annoying rattling electric fan. i need to find some high density foam.

You know you drive an XJ when your stock XJ gets up a muddy slope in 2WD that a lifted 4Runner on 33's needs 4L for. Did it today

You can list what parts you have broken or replaced and how many times they have been replaced.
You cut the ash tray out of the center console in your jeep to add more gauges.
A major mechanical part (engine, trans, transfer case, axle) breaks and you just tell people "I'll replace it next weekend" like it's not a big deal.
You watch the weather channel hoping for a massive snow storm in the winter so you can go drive around in the snow while everyone else plans to stay inside.
You decide you wanna tear across a random field, or highway median while everyone else in the car is freaking out but your saying "hold on guys, this is gonna be fun"
You go mudding not only cause it's fun but because your inspection sticker is expired and you need something to cover it up till you get to a shop.
They have to tell you you need to cover your fenders and put a back bumper on to pass inspection.
Your idea of a fun afternoon is going to a pull your own parts junkyard just to see what you can find.
The people at several local autoparts stores know you on a first name basis, give you a employee discount and write you up on a shop discount cause you come in so much.
You have numerous "spair" parts laying around incase you or a buddy ever needs something.
Your girlfriend calls you rig your "other girlfriend cause you spend equal amounts of time with both"
You consider a rattle can paint job a "good" paint job
Trail burn is pin striping and your proud of it
"Thats not a rust hole, it's a drain hole"
You seen to be the only person that is capeable of opening the rear doors in 95 and older XJ's
In the winter you look for the pile of snow in a parking lot so that you can park on it
You have owned your jeep(s) for a few years now and can list off how many other jeeps you cannibalized for parts
You consider driving a couple hundred miles for cheap parts a good deal even when you get s$%&ty mileage
