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

[pecsxj]

she wanted nothing to do with the jeep except to sell it and we both love our child and never would try to seperate one from the other, we are both great parrents but she is a crappy jeep owner

AHHHH HAHAHAHAHA.......I am going to die laghing from that $hit..................well the last 6 words anyway.

you have six months till your state inspection is up but you go get a new one now while everything is working cause you're not sure it will be then.

Your DD's brakes start to warp and when you go to get them fixed under warranty you use (or plan to use) the "My Jeeps brakes didnt warp no matter what I did to them" defense. (For my case I STOOD on the XJ brakes a few times with no trouble, nissan altima = FAIL)

Wow so much truth to this thread LOL

...if your rear window washer fluid nozzle is busted off so your jeep just pees on whatever is behind it.

You hit the head of the nail on that one!!!! Now to wait for a nice clean Lexus SUV to pull up behind! :cheers:

When you wave at other jeeps and they flip you off in return.

Had this happen to me several times now.

...when you read all 35 pages and relate to/laugh at every post...

 

[strickland.thomas]

when the b.g. pic on your cell phone is not a girlfriend but your jeep

Dang haha this is so funny!:05of5:

 

[honda12]

When you buy three of them just for parts because it' s cheeper than paying to get in to the junkyard every weekend!!!!!!
When peolple in your nieghborhood stop to ask advise on there jeeps because they see you working on your's.
When you just laugh everytime you get a new dent.
When your wife,father inlaw,brother inlaw,uncle inlaw,mom,sister,and two friends all got one because you did!And thats no lie.

[souske]

when you print out the "junkyard upgrades thread condensed" and plan on using it as a shopping list when you get the money

For High school students (like myself)
during your off periods you make a swift run for the nearest trail to see how muddy you can get before you have to return to school.


Yes, so true.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

you park next to stockers, hoping they will come out of the store at the same time as you, or be standing there gawking at your lifted beast of an XJ, and they never are.

you pull up to stock XJs on the street or highway, hoping it will be someone you can talk into lifting thier jeep and going out to play offroad with you, only to realize its an old lady.

you get excited when you see another XJ, then dissapointed when you dont see the 4x4 sticker under the rear side window, and think "why would they even make this"

You read this post, copy and paste "junkyard upgrades thread condensed" into the search, and print it as your shopping list for the junkyard when you get the money (I already need an alternator, just trying to sell the DD before I get the XJ back on the road, damn unemployment)

On that note: When your XJ is fully paid off and you still have to decide which will cost more as a DD, the XJ with its parts or the new DD with its payments

When you say "I may sell the car and put the Jeep back on the road" and you father says "you know that things not reliable".. and all you can do is stare, since you trust it to get to you from point A to point B more than the new car (and later use that in the XJ's defense).

When you are overjoyed to find out your GPS has an "off road" feature, which draws a straight line from your location to the destination, letting you find the way yourself

When you remove the roof rack (that you never use on your Daily Driver) in the hopes that it improves your gas mileage...
