one i hear everyday at work:

friend: Whats your fasination with your Jeep??? i can go everywhere you can.
Me: yeah but i do it in two wheel drive.

My wife used to tell me your gonna get stuck and don't crawl that now she tells me which line to take and spots for me, while my boys are passed out in the back seat. We make wheelin a family affair.

Friend: Why would you buy a jeep you can only put 33's on it...
Me: UH i have a dana 44 out back and a HP 30 up fron't i think i can pretty much put what i want on it..
friend: Oh i didn't know they came with anything but dana 35's
Me: thats why you don't drive a jeep.

OH and my favorite, when my friends walk up to my two year old and ask him if that is daddy's car, he looks at them and says NO daddy JEEP!! hahahaha

"Whatever man my Rav-4 goes a week and a half w/o having to fill up."
-And I bet you feel fantastic in that.
"My Altima is faster than that"
-And now I crush your front bumper (true story)
"Why don't you just save your money and buy a good car?"
-Okay, while you do that I'll keep enjoying my TRUCK.

Go ahead I'll pull you out.

Funny thing was I was spinning doughnuts in the holes he couldn't get through. The guy kinda left after that, he was in a lifted yota, looked to be on 33's, I had my lincoln locked 93 cherokee on 31's, turned into quite a chore actually trying to get my truck stuck, the only time it stopped is when I stalled it out.

There's a lot of horrible people that won't shut up; they say the darnest things to me like:

"That's just a box with wheels"

"Why r u so obsessed with ur Cherokee, no one else likes them, I bet u r the only one"

You need to wrap the movie identifier, in this case qP-tyvBGla4, in YOUTUBE tags.

When you do an 'advanced' reply there should be a button on the upper right for YOUTUBE. Or you can type in the tags [xYOUTUBE]MovieID[x\YOUTUBE] without the 'x'.

I've gotten a few

"whats up with the skeleton in your passenger seat" (started as a joke on a Halloween run a few years ago and has taken a life of its own.

'Why do you drive that when you have a much nicer truck" girl at work when i drove the XJ for a few days instead of my ram

"i'd never wheel one of those there is no frame and they are too long' a random guy on the trail in a bolted TJ then had an issue with a rut infront of a small ledge. i pull up and walk right up it with out getting hung up in the rut. my reply "perfect wheel base"

^ TJ's and Wronglers have to short of a wheelbase in my opinion. The XJ is just right.

My ranger is way better at off-roading. Haha as if nice IFS there.
