X4

have been wheeling hard for the past 2 months on what had been a pristine XJ,
and now she squeeks and groans and sucks up bumps.
I heard a squeal with my window rolled down, and it turned out to be the guy next to me stuck in rush hour.... but my immediate reaction was 'do I have to fix this or can I live with it'?

You know you got an xj when you try to persuade everyone it's the best vehicle in the world
You know you have an xj when you hit something and the whole jeeps rattles
You know you have an xj, when your drive shaft is barely in the t-case, have no trac bar, sway bars, and no steering stabilizer and everyone wonders how you still get to work and back. (I've done this few times)

You know you have an xj when people with other xj's ask you what you gotta fix next

You know you drive an xj when you use a snow bank as a parking spot cus they are the only parking spaces open in the lot.

you know you drive an xj when mud and water is something to floor it into to get as dirty as possible

You know you drive an xj when Washing it makes more noises then leaving it dirty

You know you have an xj when the engine is clean it leaks, but dirty it never does.

You know you have an xj when you can't remember where the dents came from

You know you have an xj when "oops" is more fun then "Let's pick the right line."

You know you drive an xj when you feel safe even though it rattles like its about to fall apart.

You know you have an xj when spray painting rust is fix to you.

You know when you have an xj when you spray paint over dirt and rust knowing you will have to paint it again after wheeling

I'm the opposite, my doors are messed up so I have to slam them, along with the hatch. I always have people tell me I don't have to slam their doors.

my 2dr door is heavy so it doesn't shut straight if i shut it to softly it doesn't shut, so i slam it everytime. But I get the same thing to. done it to my friends car, my moms car, my gf's car. Slamm all there doors, get mean looks lmao

My hatch luckily doesnt have issues closing idk why but it shuts easily, thats good though.

Mine closes easy but my friend's opened one time while driving and he lost some stuff.
back on topic
You know you drive an XJ (or have a sad life) when the highlight of your week is finding a 99 intake manifold at the junkyard.
