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

[old_man]

When you look under your rig and don't seem a leak spot and think to your self, I better check the oil.

 

[Jeepm@n]

When you think you have all the problems fixed after emptying your bank account and realize it needs more. :twak:

Just
Empty
Every
Pocket

lmafo, its taken 3 days to get to this point,

when...

driving in traffic you smell or hear something and get excited cause you may be able to find and correct this problem, then get depressed when you figure out its some other POS.

when you bust the window out to get into the jeep when you've locked the keys in, knowing its cheaper and faster to replace the window then to call AAA and wait for the guy with the door jimmy. plus you have a reason to go to the JY

when you call into work cause your still stuck and nobody can find you- happened twice now, but now im lifted!

when you've been on restriction to the ship for 60 days, plus all the out to sea time and when your Commanding Officer asks "what you plan on doing when we return to home port" you say doesnt matter, long as its in, on, or with my jeep <--- used this earlier today, he wasnt as humored as i was...

 

[Davinator61]

When you tease your friends who own KIA Sephias & VW New Beetles about turning their cars into off-roading monster buggies.:firedevil

Awesome! being stuck in Norfolk is just as bad as being on the ship....:twak:

....you get excited about cutting pieces off your jeep because its a mod you can actually afford to do (free)
....you feel like less of a freak after reading this thread because you've found people that understand
....people ask "why the hell would you do that??" when you tell them about the mods your planning on

 

[austinaubinoe]

today I was really excited to learn of the new gen right tank/ skid. So I told my friend how I was soon gonna have 5 extra gallons of capacity. He was just like why the hell do you need a new gas tank.....Its a jeep thing!

So when you get excited about a gas tank......

 

[Gold Digger]

...When you look at rice burners and think of different lines to take

 

[rocknxj]

...when replace your suspension and engine parts so frequently you memorize all of the bolt sizes and torque specs.

 

[FlexdXJ]

When there are more JCR pieces on it than anything else!

might just be me, but id rather carry an extra jerry can and spend the rest of that money on beer and other parts :dunno:

... when you realize that you consider dealer bought cars to be a waste of money... and running driving craigslist cars to be a waste of money, and only care if the body is strong and rust free when you buy a new one, because the rest is just bolt-on crap!

When you take a trip from Ohio to Colorado and have to replace your entire cooling system - thermostat, water pump, radiator - along the way. But it's ok, because you have all the tools with you to do it.

Someone offers you $500 for your rig while you're replacing your starter in Auto Zone's parking lot.

 

[rocknxj]

...your Jeep's repair list grows at the rate of two new items for every item complete.

 

[FlexdXJ]

Friends don't let friends drive kia's/new beetles! :doh:

You know you drive an XJ when your passengers ask if the squeaks and rattles are normal - and after telling them that they are, you ask them, "did you hear that noise?" and start trying to figure out what's going to need attention next.

 

[jeep1127]

When your xj is getting repaired and your in another car ( not yours of course) some is giving you a ride and you miss your xj so much and cant wait to get it back. You drive right behind a jeeper with an jeep just like yours with a sticker on their back window that says
" You wouldnt understand its a jeep thing"
And you say But I do understand...:bawl:

 

[kastein]

your XJ is getting repaired and you're not doing the repairs?!

 

[bluejeepkid]

when.... you have a XX,000$ dollar car that you let complete strangers work on, but dont let anybody but yourself repair your 1,000$ xj =]
