When you get about 200 bucks for christmas and you think of all the little things you could finally buy or fix, But you get self control and realize you really need new tires instead.

Ykydaxjw you get strongarm supports for your hatch and are more excited for those than the new clipless pedal setup you got (shimano SPD)

When I was listening to scanner radio and they had a complaint come in saying "a complaintent called in saying a vehicle is swerving in it lane of traffic and the plate comes back to a green 2001 Jeep Cherokee" and the first thing that comes to my mind is they must have a bad track bar..............

When your still up at 3:15AM because you can't stop looking at the HiLift Jack you got for Christmas- they even got me the extreme, not just a regular one! (Which in all honesty is all I think I'd really ever need, but I ain't turning it down!) I already even crushed my finger screwing around with it.

i have gone places, and seen so many things my stock jeep overcome, that have amazed me. There is actually a running gag when the group is out wheelin, "if james can make it, so can we." driver skill and technique is more important than that 3"lift

That only goes so far, though. Stock XJs are very capable vehicles, but I've beaten my rockers to hell, and you can see my muffler and cat count in my sig. There is a point where you need lift to properly navigate obstacles. Then again, I'm riding on my rear bumpstops, and that has a lot to do with it.
