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

When you constantly have to look at that "Low Washer" light...and the pump doesn't even work. So you drive around with a windshield squeegee because the salt has built up on the windshield from the car in front of you and you can't see.
 
When your brother and Honda driving friends make fun of it until they need pulled out of a snow bank! :D

When you stop watching the weather channel and paying attention to "winter weather warnings"

One of the guys I work with asked me about the snow tonight (8-13 inches expected). I replied "sweet, its gonna snow"
 
When you put the window down, the smell of fuel hits you like a brick because it's comming from the rear vent and the air flow moves it up front.

(i have to fix that soon too lol)

I know what you mean...I work 3 to midnight...people at work last night started asking me to drive them home when it snows tonight!
 
when you have a pilot light inside to tell you the reverse lights are on.
you scare your passanger half to death pulling the parking brake doing 75 only to find its a clicking lever with a light attached to it.
your rear wiper arm broke off but you still carry it as a squeegee.
when you open the door and the whole door comes off.
you only go to get your XJ inspected because you reverse lights magically started working again.

and you go to the junkyard and start buying luxury attachments.
you painted it with a roller and it looks good.
permanent fixes are with zip ties and wire.
you took the light bulb out of the emissions maintenance light to fix the clock.

Ladies?

When you go to the mall or a large parking lot after the snow storm just to climb the snow piles to see how well it will flex.
 
... you know you own an stock height XJ with 235/75/15 bfg mud terrain km's when your driving on a freshly snowed road with a friend in a ford f150 with a 6" lift and 35" bfg a/t's tires thinking his truck is a tonka truck and he still get's stuck long before you would =)

me and my friend were on a snow filled trail and i was following him and he went around a sloped corner and his rear end lost grip and he slid right into a small ditch holding him against a wall... so 45 minutes later he works his way out off the wall cause at the time i didnt have any recovery points to pull him out with... so we backed down the trail about a 100 feet and 2 more vehicles come up behind us and failed to want to move... so i tried to back around them sliding off into the same ditch a little further down... difference is it only took me 5 minutes to get out and i had those 2 idiots sitting in the middle of the road giving me no room to work my magic... BUT moral of the story... is if my buddy would of had an xj we would of made it to our destination lol
 
When you dislocate your thumb trying to open the rear door. Then put new dents in the heep with your foot because your hand hurts too much to punch it.:smsoap:
You have to prop up the lift gate with a broom handle because the struts don't work. Then you forget to tell the GF and she drops it on her head.:loveu:
The mixer valve for the heater exploded so you just plug the lines. Heat is for pansies anyway.:shiver:
 
You've done things to your with your XJ that would actually make Chrysler lay down and weep.

Your hood spends more time up than it does down, and no one even bothers to ask you what you're doing now.

God forbid anyone ask what you've done to your XJ, because BOY will they get the whole story. "what kind of lift is that?"
"Well it started out as an RE 4.5" but I added some more leaves and now it's at 5.5" so I have to add an SYE, I think I'm swapping F/R 44's in so I can run some 38" boggers."
":huh:"

When it runs, you know your XJ is better than 75% of the cars on the road.

God help anyone who tells you your car sucks while they're riding shotgun. They sure are in for a fourwheeling trip after that comment.

If you're following your friends somewhere, you have to warn them not to stop too abruptly because you might rear end them.
 
You think you won the lottery because you found a 1 owner 96 Sport 4X4 with only 85K on it and buy it for $2500.

I just bought a XJ yesterday from this old lady who was the original owner and had everything serviced at the local dealer with every single receipt for everything she had they have ever done to it. Add to that it's been garaged it's whole life and a CA car it's whole life so yes I do feel like I won the lottery
 
Your boss asks you to park off the property on rainy days because the oil slick usually covers the whole parking lot.

Your used to the hatch height on your lifted xj then when you switch to your stocker you walk directly into it.

Your floors have a comfort feature built in... a spongy effect.

awesome thread!!
 
when the people at the parts counter and the hospital know you by your first name :cheers:
 
.....when you park your xj in a different way every day so you can spell something with your fluid leaks.
.....when a cop asks your what happened to your doors and you reply you were street racing and a camaro blew your doors off!
 
When your son is glad to help with modifications because he knows it will someday be his
