I bought my XJ when I was 27. Wish I had gotten one years ago, though my driving record may have been a little more tarnished had I gotten a Jeep when I was young and stupid.


Wait... I'm still young and stupid... or maybe it's the Jeep in me.

Got my '92 seven years ago when i turned 16, it was my first vehicle. First modification was the lift, within the first few months it was up 4.5" on the stock 215s (what a sight). I didnt know a lot of technical stuff back then but knew i wanted it jacked up. Haha
