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

[BruceB83]

....com is your homepage in Firefox/Internet Exploder

You walk thru parking lots looking under other XJs to see if they have a D44...and if you find one, you wait til the owner comes out so you can ask if they want to trade axles....

Your co-worker comes in and says "the cute girl in the office next door can be in your 'jeep club' now" and you get excited b/c you think she got an XJ...then you go outside to the parking lot and see its a TJ...disappointment (yes, this just happened to me today)

...none of your co-workers park within 4 spots of you, because they're afraid whatever your jeep "has", their vehicle might catch it too...

...you have to give someone a ride, and you say "wait a minute, I have to move the spare parts/tools off of the passenger seat/floor first so you can get in..."

:roll:....that's me! LOL!!!

Haha, its my homepage... even through the 3 months I wasn;t alive on here..

 

[mrrbby]

when the parts guys who have a combined experience of 80 years between the 4 of them ask which Jeep now, and call you on your cell when another customer needs a part they can't find, and know you probably have. ie 4.0 thermostat housing!!!

That's happened to me...even worse, I knew where they could get the part.

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

I have one of those right now!

These are great and so true

You know fluids by taste

And if they need to be changed or not.

... when you never shovel your driveway, even if you have to 4low it in...

... when your neighbour ask's you why you don't shovel your driveway, and answer it makes is easier to pick up the spills...

... when they all laugh at your steel bumper with that ungodly winch on it, that's untill they ask for a tow from the ditch...

Philly :canada:

...You have scars from when you told your wife the jeep doesn't have A/C any more because you needed it to pump up your tires.

... You have been asked to clean your parking space at work because "if the owner saw that you would be fired"

... you buy a crashed XJ for parts, and then realize you already have all the parts to repair it.. (http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=979822)

When your Friends/Family/Coworkers ask "when will you be done working on you Jeep?" and you look at the with a dumbfounded expression and ask them to "Define Done?":dunno:

To counter that...

When your friends/family/coworkers have learned not to ask you when you'll be done with your Cherokee.

To expand

Its assumed for every wheeling trip you'll need to use at least one vacation day to repair the Jeep; and the number of days needed is exponentially related to how "good" of a trip it was.

Sorta in responce to John's post...


You've driven home from a mountain wheeling trip 120 miles away at no faster than 35 mph the entire way, and there was no traffic.

 

[Deadman 94 xj]

Everytime a new passenger get's in you know at some point they're going to say "what was that"?

The neighbors in your parking lot consider you the crazy guy who's always under his jeep.

 

[RNMedic]

I usually have them in my Garage

... you're so broke that you have to tell your wife it was all spent on bills!!

To expand:

Your Jeep drives better in the snow than it does on pavement.

 

[IslanderOffRoad]

When merging on the freeway after a wheeling trip as the Jeep approaches 55mph you start going "don't wobble, don't wobble, don't wobble"

 

[themangeraaad]

...When you have lost at least one potential relationship because the "what was that" sounds scared her away.

..You buy a new car for fuel economy/ride comfort and not 2 months later you are trying to sell it for what you owe, cut your losses, and get the XJ back on the road.
