you know you drive an XJ when you talk to other XJ owners that don't know a thing about it, and you feel sorry for their Jeep.

You know you drive an XJ when your friend with a new car complain about this annoying rattle that you don't even hear. I swear, my XJ has ruined me, people keep mentioning rattles in their car and I can't hear it. Guess I'm desensitized now.

You know you drive an XJ when your cupholder has a big old pile of bolts, nuts and screws that your still trying to figure out where they belong on the jeep.

You know you drive an XJ when you use the space between your body and the seatbelt buckle as your cupholder.

You know you drive an XJ when you drive down the road and hit a bump and watch the person behind you swerve cause you just dropped a pile of mud.

I realized if you hit the gas it brings up the front end and you glide right over em. Some say its bad for the suspension. I say it gives me more of a reason to beef it up

you know you drive an xj when at the beginning of a 4x4/camping trip your motor mount breaks, so you fix it by wedging wood next to the motor mount. worked great, had to put a few new pieces in now and then haha
(my buddy's xj)
