You might own an XJ if you are the only one of your friends to be proud to own a "station wagon" and your dream car is a woody (yep I'm a grand wagoner fan)

Haha Pa cars have to pass a hell of an inspection and emissions test, and the biggest problem around here is the snow (salted roads), eats cars alive, I get my whole underside blasted with oil to help prevent rust, most Pa Cherokees have has their floorboards patched or replaced, and most of the wranglers '02 or earlier are on their second set of front fenders

YMDAXJ if your fishing out the back of your xj at the lake with your girl when a park ranger comes up and you say"how are you?" and he replys "fine, until people started driving their jeeps on the sand" he then proceeds to give you a 75$ ticket

I've been looking at a few jeeps for a bit to get, or a 4Runner or something else. This thread made me want an XJ even more. I'm already reading about what I can do to the XJ and I dont even have it yet. Should be picking up a year 2000 today or tomorrow.
