When you have washed down atleast a pound of metal shavings/jeep down your shower drain

 

you know you drive an XJ when your drivers seat is dirty from always working on the xj then getting in to take a test drive!

 

you know you drive an XJ when you stay out in the garage till 11:30 pm working on your front bumper and then on CF inside till 3am even though you have work at 7am the next morning

 

You wish you had room and money for "just one more" (parts jeep or otherwise)

 

You know you drive an XJ when it spends more time on jack stands in the driveway than in the woods.

 

you know you drive an xj when you go to work( and have por 15 left on you arm) and everyone says whats that? when you explain the just stare at you dumbfoundedly

 

you know you drive an xj when you try to show your friends what a stock xj can do by flexing on a small hill and your xj leans way over to one side and you notice your leaf spring just broke and your wheel is like 5 miles from the wheel well ....you just hop out and say o its made to do that

 

when you take you buddies through hole they thought the xj couldnt make it through than on the way home they call you up and ask you if they could buy it. lmao

 

x2. mines just been sitting.....waiting... i need to stop being lazy and fix the dw!!

 

You know you drive an XJ when, with the ignition off and the key out, your brake lights still light up when the brakes are pressed. (Seriously, does anyone else's do this?)

 

every car is required to do that...so every single car's lights turn on when you press the brake pedal...with the key out

 

You know you drive an XJ when....
... someone says "more for less", and you snicker, knowingly
... you shop for a "weekend warrior", buy it, wind up with a daily driver
... you clean out your oil blow-by "catch can" more often than you clean out the interior
... you gauge the health of your baby by comparing the fluid in your catch can to the gunk in your coolant reservoir
... you drive a beat up, 2wd, leaky, cash for clunkers reject... that still kicks ***
... XJ no longer sets off your spell checker

 

... after 80 pages, you compelled to go back 10 pages to reply to this one with a x2... even tho you're a newb... seriously... we all do it.

 

when you have the sheriff's helicopter hovering over you as your wheeling... i want those shots!!

 

... when a co-worker asks you "when are you going to fix your bumper(s)?" and you reply, with all seriousness: "when I find the perfect stump to hit the other side with"

(so you can have an 'improved' departure angle on BOTH sides of your XJ)
