Ykydaxj when a thread for knowing you drive an xj turns into a thread about fixing one, which only reinforces the fact that you drive an xj

When you here random clunks from your control arms over little things but not the big stuff. When your gf tells you to slow down... Because she is afraid you'll get death wobble. When your dad tells you to quit putting $h!t into it because you leave for basic in October. For the record 3" front 2.5" rear on 28" tires I get 26mpg freeway with a bored throttle body, throttle body spacer and a cold air kit.
