You might be an XJer if you always shake your head when a h2 drives by

1) Wakes up in the morning and checks :NAXJA:'s for sale forum for any new threads to see if there is something he needs yet he cannot afford to buy.
2) Checks periodicly throughout the day :NAXJA:'s for sale forums for any new threads to see if there is something he needs yet he cannot afford to buy.
3) Checks one last time in :NAXJA:'s for sale forum before he goes to bed only to find that there is about eight things he definatly needs yet he still can't afford to buy them but.....just for an evil minute or two he thinks to himself that he probably could buy a couple of those things if he went without electricity for about a month....then he snaps to it and thinks what the hell and sends a PM to the guys asking what it would cost to ship to his zip code JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY ONLY (yeah right) and then thinks "if shipping is only $3 bucks I'll do it and goes to bed only to get up and do it all over again.
Or tangle with lunch rush traffic in Denver (or any city) to get a part cheap (that you still can't afford) and brave the afternoon rush hour to get home.

How about someone that just happens to find and park in open parking spots next to other xjs at the store? I might have been accused of that before...
It's funny to do that to stock Wranglers with your lifted XJ. Even the Rubicons look pathetic.

Am I an XJer if I wake up, and after a quick phone call and maybe an hour's time I'm at an unpaved junkyard in the rain to get an upgrade part (a 231 t-case to replace the shelled 242)? Then put it in that evening to go wheelin the next morning?
 
Guilty of everything including the poo. I'm on the computer if I'm not in the XJ or sleeping. XJs more important than eating or constant employment. Just need the job for victuals for the XJ.

All depends on what parts you need for the Jeep as to if you need a job right??? :laugh3:
 
All employees at the local parts store know them by name

I have several XJ's at the moment and all the employees ask is what year is the one you are working on now.

I have always found there are two brands of people here. There are people who own Jeeps, and then there are Jeep owners.

We are the latter................:patriot:
Ahhh no, I think it owns you! LMAO

Too much to read. But I guess I'm not real XJer...My heater works awesome, I'm dwarfed by stock Suburbans, and I'd bet most that wheel sit even with if not a little lower than a Suburban, I don't know any of the parts guys, mine has been running good for while now. Mine starts first time, just about every time and tends not to stall (but its an auto, so I cheat :)), I Have maybe $500 tops, not including purchase price, into my Jeep, but it gets me through everything I throw at it, I envy the guy in the Land Cruiser cause I want one. Great truck on the street, way better than one would expect off-road and I could tow my Jeep to the trail behind it while riding in better than Cadillac luxury...My dented fenders were fixed by cutting them off.
Pretty much mine still sees plenty of street time and as such, I try not to abuse it. I wheel the piss out of it, but its only been sunk in the water once and only 3 inches deep...inside. But I love my Jeep, I love what it does and I love the fact that its a good ugly...
 
You get piping mad at the parts store when they ask you "Grand Cherokee?" when you specifically said "Cherokee" or XJ.


Your home page is http://www.naxja.org/forum


You know what fell off just by the noise your jeep now makes.
 
You get mad at people who call grand cherokees Cherokees. You laugh at Cherokee drivers with doughnut spares cause they look funny even if there not on.

Or by the noise it makes prior, you know what's ABOUT to fall off.

I wish I could figure out why some had full size spares and some had doughnuts.....why not make them all one or the other? And of course i'm lucky enough to have a doughnut.....go ahead an laugh if you'd like.
