...when you can accidentally trigger the "panic" on the stock alarm by fumbling around with your keys in your pocket... inside your apartment... hundreds of feet away... but you have to be standing within 20ft of it to shut it off again.

89 laredo. I have an 87 renix with the lowest output of all 4.0 cherokees. I mine will torque my drivers front up 3" sometimes more. I can scratch 2 and 3rd. Factory tire size though for the moment

When you xj has more power and torque than you 83 cougar that has a 302

Haha with my 33's and stock gears I can still take my sisters Jetta off the line.

YKYDAXJW you're facing possible surgery that will put you out of work for several months and all you can think is "How will I afford Jeep parts?"

When you bust u-turns like nobody's business because your xj has a tighter turn radius than a compact car......

...and if the road is too narrow instead of doing a three-point turn you just plow through the ditch.

My xj has a tighter turn radius than my gf's scion and a shorter wheelbase

And I've done the second one too.

YKYDAXJ when you mount curbs so you can turn right and avoid the other cars going straight
