If your heat works but good luck getting it to turn off of defrost and blasting on high like a damn biplane! Lol
You might drive an xj if you exhaust falls off while driving.

You might drive an xj if the gas station attendant is familiar with you.

You might drive an xj if you pull ford rangers out of the mud.

It's because they're for a 17" wheel. If they were a 15" they would be half the price!

Of course that was nice about the explorer I've heard you can put explorer rims on a xj but idk for sure if that the case I might scale down to15s but the 17s look so dang good

I prefer more tire over rim and that's why I like 15s. Plus it's the most common so tires are cheapest
