The socket or the bolt head?:laugh2:





Sorry, didn't mean to slight your tool maintainence skills.

there isn't a clean bolt on my jeep.
i'm gonna move below the rust below just so i can have something "fun" to work on.

this is real-ness...

Who needs a girlfriend when you have an XJ?
Both of them spend all of your money anyways haha

yes, but...

with the XJ you need $$ because you broke it.

with the girl friend you're broke because you need something else

Plus the GF "rides" a little smoother....

is it sad that i would still rather be in the jeep? it complains less about the mess in the garage after i get done riding it

... When you have to choose between jeep parts and rent... and you choose jeep parts.
... When you have a radio in just so it doesnt look so bad even though it doesnt work.
... When said radio falls out and sits in your spare parts box for months.
... When you offer to let people drive your jeep on the road and they refuse.
... You see a stock cherokee and imagine the things you could do with it.

...You buy your first XJ three weeks before you deploy to the middle east for a year and spend the entire deployment not worrying about anything but how you are going to spend your deployment money on the Jeep. Thanks for the good reading!!!

I did that in basic haha!

...When you pull up to the parts store and the counter person knows you by name and says "Just easier to point out what you need".

 

[MaxxXJ]

AMEN
minus the salt & rust



You know you drive a XJ when you have to hammer your socket onto the bolt head because it's so rusted.

or how about when you use an impact gun on a bolt you thought the socket fit on, then come to find out it wasnt sae after all but the metric socket still managed to work to get it out ( happened on my first sway bar bolt... i took an impact gun to it and it ratcheted for a second then spun and stripped the head, then i grabbed a metric and it mated right up, went to budget bolt and bought 4 new bolts for the sway bar bushings.)

you know you drive an xj from the east when every bolt you take out, you have to replace with a new one.

my whole exterior of my jeep has been like this... sooner than later every bolt along with suspension component will be replaced with a new one...

 

[muduck18]

... when you took all four doors off and put them back on just so you could get rid of the TORX!!!

 

[souske]

when you wouldnt even think of driving to the corner store without a full tool bag

 

[CherBear]

Your XJ's interior room is just big enough to carry all the spare parts you will need.

From the first time I did it, I have replaced the front bolt on the leaf springs, every time I take them out.

your biggest concern with theft is having to walk to the end of the street to retrieve it when it breaks down.

the first day you had your xj you took it to the nearest forest, and ended up towing it out by the swaybar

don't bother locking the rear hatch because no one else would be able to figure out how to open it anyways, or even if they did get in there's nothing to steal anyway

No OBA? Shameful.

.. When you keep all your 15mm sockets in your "unibody" rails

.. When you build a roll cage, not for safety, but so you can cut off more sheet metal

..When other people just dont understand..

 

[Evan463]

... When you wheel you DD because you haven't finished your other one yet.
