Ykydaxjw your Jeep has an attitude with you.

Picking up a 1995 t/a tonight, and the xj developed a pretty nasty noise in the front driver's side wheel area. I think she's pissed off that she's gonna have to sit the summer out.

My one only fits my 32 mud tyres on it now because of the offset on the wheel, Im going to take mine off and secure my spare to the floor in the back.

That's how you know you drive an XJ.

2012 Dodge Chargers shift space-time around themselves to make the entire world a big blindspot.
