Xj pet peeves!

Everytime you tell a parts store you have a cherokee you have to say "regular not grand" before they ask you "grand cherokee?"
If you say XJ they'll give you a blank stare.

When ever they ask that I say Grand, takes em awhile to figure out there was no Grand in the year I specified

Those Damn Torx bolts drive me up a wall. They're always in a miserable place to get to and then strip once you do get the socket on them.
The squeaks don't bother me, lets me know everything is just right!
Rear shock mounts that break the bolts off, poor design.

Everything on the header panel has to be attached to metal via sheet metal screws which strip out every time you take something off to work on.
Sagging headliners are a common and annoying problem, mine is getting worse and worse every day.
My AW4 sucks. It shifts at 2500 rpm even with a light foot and it has a small leak from the transmission pan, Im going to flush it and give it a nice thick gasket when I get some money.
The stock brake rotors on the Cherokee SE are too small and not sufficent for stopping my 31s. Thank god I just got some larger cross drilled and slotted rotors that i'll install friday.
The stock brake calipers love to seize up and almost catch fire. I had this happen with the passenger front caliper on both my 96 and my 92 XJs.
The fiberglass hatch on my 96 rattles too much with my subs which makes my stereo sound bad lol

Omfg. Those shock mounts suck. I had one o mine fall out while I was wheeling. The bolt fell out. Luckily one of my brake lines kept it from dragging the ground.
