Earlier I was telling my gf I wanted a higher lift and explaining it. All she was saying was "but why do you need that? Here you go spending more money on the pit"

Should say you don't consider her a pit so why is your xj one?

Go to the local jeep dealer and ask for a new leaf springs, the guy asks "Do you mean the Grand Cherokee?" Nuff said with that but on top of that as I leave a salesmen comes to me and says " I've never seen a Cherokee. Would like to upgrade to a Grand?" I now shop online and hate Grand Cherokees even more...

a girl on facebook posted that she was going to get a cherokee for her first car. naturally, i commented on it to tell her how awesome they are. some guy posted on there "make sure you get the inline 6 because the inline 4 and v6 are crappy motors"

I wouldn't call the 2.5 a "crappy" motor, but it's certainly no 4.0. The GM 2.8 v-6 from the mid 80's though, yeah, piece of crap.

I called the local Jeep dealership (it's actually a GM dealer but they bought the franchise from another company that went out of business) to get a price idea for a new check arm pin (after which I realized I could go to the junkyard). So he asked me to get the last 9 numbers from my VIN. I went out and checked my VIN and told him "OK, the digits are 0WL******". He said back to me "That's not the last 9 digits of the VIN number, there should be no letters. Check it again". So I told him the same thing. He ended up getting frustrated with me until he found the right part and told me it was 6 bucks for 1 check arm pin. I just said "Never mind, it's not that big of a deal"


I love how a worker at a GM dealer tried to convince me that the VIN on my Jeep was wrong, when the plate was right in front of me

The 4 isn't bad just underpowered, but the 2.8 v6 is a total pile. My mom's old blazer had one and it never ran and had absolutely no power.

Some british ***** in a chevy was talking crap when I was out cruising. Saying I need a lift because my Jeep sags like 50 cent's pants. I was laughing too hard to say anything back.
Then he starts saying I cant do a burnout right, so I did a brake stand, left two black marks about 15 feet long. He asked why it slid sideways. I just said "because its not a POS Chevy with an open differential, it doesn't just one wheel peel"

I was getting ready to leave my friends house this morning after spending the night and his dad was outside. I popped the hood, checked the oil and coolant, and he walked over. Said "Typical jeep owner, Have to pop the hood before you go anywhere. Afraid the motor is gonna fall out?"
