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

[muduck18]

...you have had to rush a significant other/potential relationship to the ER for stitches in the middle of a wheeling trip because she took her seat belt off.

... you heve broken up with some one because they called your Jeep "silly"

 

[luv2offroad]

When you boss tells everyone they can leave work early because it's snowing real bad, but then adds that you can stay late because you drive an XJ...

When you get better gas mileage off-roading then you do on the freeway.

 

[GSequoia]

You always open the passenger door for people who you are giving rides to. Not because you're a gentleman, because nobody else can get the effing thing open.

 

[Coastie]

..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.

Been there. I am keeping my sensible DD though.

i dont know if this is a good thing or not but... umm my jeep dont leak, no death wobble at 55 and 95% of everything works =/ but im running 235/75/15 bfg mud terrains with no lift and mostly everythings stock for now

but to add to the list

when your front passenger has to ask you to roll up/down their window because the p/w only works when it wants to.

when everytime you replace something you have to replace the bolts too because their rusted and broke during removal.

when someone's stuck and your the only one out there cool enough to pull em out
( happened to me out at the beach, a lifted tahoe on 35's buried up to the axles got stuck on comp hill and i rolled up with my sling and pulled him off the hill where no one else would and all i got was a thanks... oh well everyone got to see my XJ in action pullin him out like a champ!)

My girlfriend can never get the doors open on my XJ. Which is weird because my mom drove one for like 6 years in the 90's and never had a problem with how the doors function.

 

[sherman08]

... Your friends ask the % chance of the XJ overheating on the weekend trip, because they know that as a general rule its over 75.

 

[kdailey4315]

You proudly display the H2 recovery team sticker on your back window.

 

[themangeraaad]

...you pick a girl up for a night out, and it takes her 5 minutes to figure out how to get your rig without giving the street a show since shes wearing a skirt... then she gets frustrated and you get a show cause it was either you or everyone on the street :spin1:

 

[yetimotronic]

you know own drive an xj when:

the first sign of heat from the heater smells like a baking ham or some other weird aroma that makes the gag effect happen. usually first run of the day ugh.

you can readily identify the code p0700 as nss range sensor input before the guy with the scanner finishes reading it.

you frequently refer to jeep as just empty every pocket.

your girlfriend is thoroughly convinced the noise from the steering column (in cold weather) is your ass.

 

[heyhar]

You go shopping at Harry's U Pull It with a reciprocating saw.
Your wife says it looks like a Jeep exploded in the garage.
You need a wide angle lens on the camera to get them all in one shot.
You have every option ever offered on a car that originally was a police stripper (soon ZJ
power leathers).
You stop to get gas, and the mechanic asks your opinion.
Your visitors must park on the road, because the driveway has no more room.
You have an accident, and cream the front of your car, and have almost all the repair
parts 'in stock'.

 

[Hypoid]

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

If that's not enough, heeps that don't even belong to you start congregating there, and you are under them also.

The neighbors in the adjacent drive call me their Wilson: All they see of me is boots and pantlegs with a detached voice coming from under a vehicle.

 

[alex22]

When the guys at NAPA know you so well they will drop the parts off at your door.
When its running good enough to make it into the parts store they just lead you to the "random fittings/hoses and adapter" section behind the counter because they know YOU can find it faster.
If its still running it will make it home
When your clutch pedal brakes you just laugh because you know there is no NSS and drive it home anyways.
When you go to autozone and look for the new guy just to confuse him. He asks me what vehicle I have, 96 cherokee and I need new rear brake pads and tell him they won't fit because I have disks. he goes out to verrify, scratches his head and then the other workers just start laughing cause I got another one.

 

[MT Mike]

When someone asks if they can borrow/drive your Jeep a 30 min conversation ensues about all the quirks and noises it makes.

Quoted for truth. I've had that conversation with both my wife and my father in law more times than I can count.

 

[Hypoid]

LOL When your parts quest goes interstate.

 

[MT Mike]

LOL When your parts quest goes interstate.

Hey now.....

 

[Hypoid]

LMAO If the shoe fits...

I feel lucky because there is a good supply of used parts here.

 

[camarors8992]

when you look and buy parts you don't even need, they're just cool.

 

[98_XJ_Classic]

...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.

This is why I will never get married, some women just dont understand

No matter what happens you know you wouldn't want to be driving anything else.

happened today, my boss wanted me to take his truck and take a trailer to illinois and he'd drive my jeep, we went to lunch and i introduced him to DW on the freeway:roflmao:
