You know you drive an XJ when you keep getting Emails from the forum, and at the end it gives you the option to delete them?

 

You know you drive an XJ when:

You spend days replacing the clutch, not because you can't throw a clutch back on the flywheel, but because that AX-15 is a total ***** to slide back in.

You live in the Rocky Mountains and you pull Grand Cherokees out of the ditch right outside of town in a foot of snow.

The guy at CarQuest knows your name and you know his.

On your first date, your future better half told you that she drives a TJ and she can change the oil, but you wind up doing all the maintenance for her.

Your front seat rocks side to side and you're afraid that one day your driver's side door will simply fall out while going around a curve at 70mph.

You wave at other XJ owners and, being western Colorado, they look at you like you're stupid or daft.

You know you're replacing a clutch and go to the transmission shop in Denver and tell them exactly which seals you'll probably need...just in case.

It takes three people and an act of Congress just to get that tranny back in.

You moved to Western Colorado just because you can off road so many more places there than back in Atlanta.

Your better half and her TJ think that they can go more places out here than you can and fail miserably.

Gas is .60 cents per gallon more here than the rest of the United States and you still don't care that your XJ gets 17 mpg because hell that's impressive for an XJ!

There is practically an oil slick on your driveway.

You have two XJs just in case: one is a stick with an NP 231 for the trails, one is an old Renix with an NP242 for driving in the 350+ inches of snow that we get per year in the Vail area.

You've owned 4 XJs in your life and wish you still had them all.

 

You know you drive an XJ when your buddy with a YJ shows up on your door step at 2:30 in the morning because "Somethings just not right"

The ensuing wrenching results in the line "Jeep: Just Everyone Else's Parts"

 

You know you drive an XJ and love it when you nearly crash your car whilst reversing into the drive but are looking/admiring your XJ in the mirror instead of the gate post!!!! Doh!

when you turn your xj off, walk up to your front door, and just cant help but turn around and get one last look before you go inside.

 

^^ i do that all the time haha

you know you drive an xj when u start it and it hesitates to idle and your floor it to fix the problem

 

you know you drive an XJ when you have more tools in your jeep than your father-in-law has in his barn

 

When you have more than 1, but only 1 is drivable.

When you buy some sort of fluid, be it oil or power steering fluid, more often than you buy milk.

When you are excited to spend less than $40 on a tank of gas, from E.

When you are excited that said tank goes more than 250 miles.

When you pull away normally from an intersection after a bit of rain, only to spin the tires a little on the white painted line and get a dirty look from a cop (it's the Torque, officer, I swear!).

And the top way you know you drive an XJ... "When you spend more time on Cherokee Forum than actually driving the Cherokee!"

 

thatw whats up,i like that

 

You know u own an XJ when u r the only one moving in the flooded road after an hour or more of rain.

 

you know you drive an XJ when you can buy a new radiator for under a 50 bucks

 

THIS!

AND THIS!

 

When you are looking for a second job, to support your jeeping habit

 

When your friend pops his tire while driving up a curb in an attempt to "prove" that his new grand cherokee is just as capable as your xj.

 

when you consider putting a bike rack on the back to permanently carry a bike as a backup mode of transportation because you never know what small thing will break next that will put you out. lol.
