You know you own/drive a XJ when...

[UNCC_99XJ]

You see another driving down the road and you can figure everything from year, to options, to drivetrain in about 10 seconds flat.

Not really XJ specific, but you can hear a 4.0 from across the parking lot.

...when you constantly know the inventory on hand at the local pull-a-part

...when people look at you like you're cruel when you say "I blew up another one of those damn green turtles" (RENIX years)

4.0 specific-... you know what the term blowby means

4.0 specific-... you know what the term blowby means

Going with the above, ....when you have more oil in your air box than your engine and it STILL runs like a top!

When you pull on to the trailhead and hear the TJ guys say "Oh <poopie>! Naxja's here."

 

[foxwar71]

Hopefully the new stiffners will help with that!

You use more PB Blaster than any other tool.

 

[BIgDaddyChia]

When you go outside in the morning and look and say damnit whats leaking now.

 

[Tarakian]

When you go to buy shocks and the parts guy asks you if its got AC :banghead:




When you go to buy parts or accessories and the guy asks you if its got a 5.9l in it.

...When your local NAPA dealer sends you a Xmas card every year.

Card?

Hell, I got a big sticker!

 

[OverTheHillsATTW]

Lol when you wake up pour a coffee and get in the jeep without shoes and decide to go off road in the back woods.

Then get stuck and have to run home barefoot. :x

...the check engine light comes on and you already know it's a random misfire on #4.

These are great and so true

When a good day means looking under your Jeep after work and seeing only two tiny drips

When you can visualize every bolt that holds your Dana 30 in because you've replaced it twice

You know the starter sound of a 4.0

Your Jeep is a 94, front axle is from a 99, rotors, calipers, knuckles and unit bearings are from an 89, transfer case is from a 95, and your rear axle is from an Explorer

The above statement is why you don't ever want to take the Jeep to a mechanic because it would confuse THEM.

You're 200 miles from home and something is broken and you figure whats the worst that can happen, I'm driving home.

Driving to Utah sounds like a great way to use your vacation days

You know fluids by taste

You Jeep wave at other Cherokees and the soccer moms stare at you like you're crazy

You have a parts store loop trail that you use because inevitably someone won't have every part you need. (Mine goes Napa, Dealer, Autozone, Autozone)

Same for hardware and tools (Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowes, Do It Center, Autozone)

You try to pay for everything with pizza and beer.

...dealing with high idle is a normal everyday thing

 

[IslanderOffRoad]

Your passengers play a game called "whats that noise"

You get scared when you don't know the answer.

 

[Big Kev]

This should be a sticky.

THEY get scared when you don't know the answer.

Haha! But fixed it for you...
