When you go into a verizon store just to "look at phones" even though you have sprint and the only reason you went in was so you could park next to a lifted YJ.

Same thing with TJ maxx...happened to me twice today HAHA

I'm a jeep loser

when you saw TJ -and- maxx below YJ
and it didn't dawn on you TJ Maxx is a store until you remembered this is an XJ thread


i prefer not to think of it as being a jeep loser, so much as a XJ addict

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!"
I take it you know about that Hess station across the street from the Publix by the highway? lol They're the cheapest all the time.

you know you drive an XJ when it has over 200,000 on it and you still wheel the **** out of it.

(given she has new axles, and re-built driveshafts)

You know you drive an XJ when the only thing you know for sure are original are the VIN tags and the unibody.
