I got my Cherokee when I was 16 but it been a part of the family a lot longer than that. The best memory I have of it was when I was 4 my dad took me up to the Blue Ridge mountains to look at property, needless to say we made our own trail

lol, let's see... I was either 28 or 29 when I got my 97. Wife had to have it actually, I tried to talk her out of it. it was a buy here pay here type of thing, and it had some major issues. She brought it home anyway. All my doubts went away when I was told I could go to town on it though, lol. Couple years later and I'm lovin' it.

I got my xj when I was 17. Now 21. Its my third car. ( First two blew up ) She hasn't let me down one time! My best memory was when I got it stuck and waited 2 hours till my buddy could find me and pull me out with his xj. haha

Got my 95 2 door 2wd when I was 17. Just got my second xj a month ago. Best memory was jumping it before it was lifted and busting the transmission line.
The only pic I have of it stock
Then I lifted it

I got my 92 xj in 2003 when i was 24. Made lots of memories- best was going to South Point (most southerly part of the USA) to climb some sand dunes that the dirt bikes and atvs take. Got to what i thought was a downslope, ended up being a 12ft drop. My bumper went into some soft dirt/sand nearly completely verticle but was able to drive it right out. This was at stock height too. Gotta love it!
