Gas is too expensive when it is more then your axle ratio.

A kid with JK Wrangler X told me he had 4 inch lift one day, few days later I was looking at it and he said technically its 3 inch lift, then later that day he said technically its a 2 1/2 inch body lift. He asked me if I had a body or suspension lift. He had $1k front winch and $3k worth of wheels and tires.... His parents bought all of it for him.

Awe, how nice of them.

And to turn the off topic to on...

Don't tell an XJ owner "gas prices are on the rise"

Ugh

I hate when I bring my XJ into shop at school to work on and everyones like "how's the heep!"

Also someone said they almost got a window decal saying "I got your "jeep thing" now it hurts when I pee"

After I reply its a Jeep Cherokee, he says I thought wranglers were better for that. I almost jumped in the drive through window to choke a *****.

Girlfriend says, "You're going to work on that thing when I'm right here?" Then it's, "Are you going to be all night on that thing?"

I asked her if she was going anywhere anytime soon, then said, "you'll still be here when I'm done....or not." Then I replied, "Maybe."

Mind you, the temporary tag is still only 1 week old! Bought er, FOR ME, on my 41st birthday, and all I was doing was replacing the hitch receiver - which took forever because I was easily sidetracked checking out the rest of the goodies that I'm going to need to do. Then I was tinkering and eyeballing the rest under the hood.

Can't imagine what she's going to think when I'm REALLY working on it..... Eh, I can get another...but the XJ may become part of me.

Cheers!

She must accept the new lady in your life!!!! Lol and that you are still in honeymoon mode. When I first got my xj it was car wash every week and playing with it every day. My boyfriend would call and ask if I was busy, and I had to tell him "yes, I'm working on my truck"

Haha I've got that a few times to and I kinda just dirty look off to the distance. Sometimes I'll say I need such and such for a 95 XJ and they are just like "an X what?"
