YKYDAXJW you just don't understand how it can be so hard to understand the difference between a cherokee and a grand cherokee
So true!

im still on page 46 but so far i dont see mine.

u know u drive an xj when you start it up and turn the ac on and people look cause the belts squeeling

when u fix the leaky roof rack the windshield promptly starts to leak
when ur door falls off cause the hinge mount went bad
or when u go to move the roof rack bars and the button no longer pushes in
that moment when ur center console latch snaps
and when ur the only one of ur friends sitting where no one else dares going with anything.

...when you've enjoyed driving the wife's WJ around for the past few days for all of the luxury and creature features, but you feel happy to get back into your XJ 'cause it just feels like home.

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.
how on earth do you get 26 mpg on an I6

lol... did that in the Yukon I just got rid of... my own fault though, 'cause I didn't get out and look at what the angle was on the other side... started up and over and then felt CLUNK!... friggin' front wheels were hanging off in the air about a foot above the ground and my frame was resting on the crest of the hill

d'oh!

yessir! - I rotate from day shift to night shift every 4 months at my job... 12 hour shifts 6-6... sometimes when working nights, I'd get off in the morning and have a class I needed to go to that started at 0830...

so I'd drive it to the class, crack the windows, fold the seat up and catch a few z's in the back waiting for the doors to open.

Ykydaxj when it's midday, your tired and out of the sun. So, you crawl underneath and take a nap.
