How To Point Out A XJer

[88xjchief]

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.

More cargo room and you can see out of the side window. He jelous he doesnt have one.

If I had a full size I wouldn't be in the market for a 5th rim right now. Don't see keeping the dougnut when I go up to 31's as working out too well....lol

That would be a sight...................

My sister just had a flat on her XJ with a doughnut spare, I gave her my full size spare so she would have a "normal" size tires all the way around.

Looks for XJ's in foreign countries (just spotted 6 in Peru)

 

[88xjchief]

The donut is fine for me. For right now im sticking with it.

 

[old_man]

You keep a set of donut spares to swap so you can get your XJ in the garage to work on.

You drive your wife nuts, because you play a game while driving, where you say Jeep every time you see an XJ, and actually keep score losing points for mis calls or wrong models (Grands)

Man she hates to lose :shhh:

Or you never lose your way because of the trail of receipts you leave behind.

Another XJer spotting trick....they get mad whether someone calls it a car or even a truck. They reply with "Its a JEEP"

Guilty.

They get upset when they tell someone they have a Cherokee and that person says something like "Oh, my Dad has one; it has a V-8, a DVD player, ect.." and you have to explain that’s a Grand Cherokee.

Haha once i was at a used car dealer looking at an xj, and the salesman said "Yeah, between 97-01 these came with an optional v8" Seeing me as a teenager, i guess he was waiting for my eyes to light up, instead I promptly walked out the door.

When they have to drive other vehicles they try to rest their hand on the shifter that is not there.

They use XJs as a form of currency “Man, I could have got ten jeeps for that one Escalade."

That man deserves to be hanged

The guys(or gals) at the parts store make bets on what sensor you'll be coming in to pick up next.

When I was having sensor problems it was meeting me at the counter with the OBD2 reader, until I bought my own.

 

[ren]

The parts counter people ask "what did the part came off of?", instead of "what kind of car are you working on".

Heh, a little off topic, but I went into the parts store to get some front axle parts. I told the guy the part numbers I needed, but he said he had to know the application.

I told him they were for a kingpin Dana 60 external hub out of a 86 Dodge 2 ton in a 1976 IH Scout and he gave me a blank stare for about 5 minutes.

 

[ren]

Oh, the blank stare... How many times have I gotten the same look from the poor sap at the counter? Ah, never mind... I'd have to take my boots off to be able to get close to the number. Hee. :roflmao:

That still frosts my petunias to this day. When they ask for the year make and model, I've had to point out the little box that says "part number" on their computer screens on many occasions. It usually comes as a complete surprise to them...

Obviously she isn't 'fiancee' or 'wife' yet...

My wife would rip my skin off and make doilies with it if I even attempted to get her to recognize XJ's...

The wife is starting to realize that, as glad as I am that I was able to find the ZJ, I miss my little red XJ (ref: avatar). Saturday, when a red XJ went by she said, "There's your little red Jeep." Next step is to get her to realize that I intend to replace that little red Jeep. The plan is to make it her idea with little hits about me taking the kids on long camping trips, leaving her home to bask in the silence. She'd pay a lot for that. Even to carrying a third car on the books. The alternative would be to build up the ZJ. I'm not really eager to do that.

So, on topic:
Even though it's been 9 months, his avatar still mourns the loss of his XJ.
