Default You Know You Drive an XJ When...

Theres a thread like this on another forum.. I thought it would be fun to have it here too..

Ill start

You know you drive an when:

You hit your head on the hatch all the time in winter because the gas shocks are too weak..

"What's that burning smell" is a common passenger statement

When your radios main purpose is to cover up random noises.

When you turn down the radio and tell everyone to shut up because you think you heard a new noise.

your check engine light on means everything okay
Or you have a renix, and there is no check engine light even though it should/would be on if there was one...

you call wranglers "wronglers"

You **** off ricers at the stop light because your jeep sounds cooler than their pos car and/or You beat them off the line with a lift and >30" tires

Someone says "do you feel that" and youre like "What?!"

You know you drive an xj when you start your renix jeep and your friends ask questions like:
Is it supposed to crank that long?
Why is it so loud?
Whats that smell?
Is it supposed to make that Knocking sound?

Or when you accidentally say to someone who owns a car:
Isnt that *random item* in your jeep? Ugh.. I mean car!


What do you guys have?

When you don't have an oil leak....it's "Active Undercoating".

or

"It's not an oil leak, it's a continous oil change."

U wrap tape around the hatch peice to make the very annoying rattle go away..
people ask you if your jeep is a deisel..
people riding with you feel scared riding 50mph on a snowy road but you feel comfortable..
you go through your jeep and tape up all the interior noises when u hit bumps..
you have a cracked exhaust manifold..replaced agian and again..
you automatically rool your freinds window down when they lite up a ciggarete because u know the windows only work on your side..
you paid more for your tires than u did your jeep..
The jeep has 20-30 different noises the engine lakes and you cant figure any of the out...
you look at every cherokee you see drive by..
wish you had a limited model..
wish you would have bought a new jeep when u had the chance in 2001..
HAte grand cherokees with a passion..
always getting new parts trying to figure out why it runnin rough..
your belt squeels when u have your ac on, so u never use it.. y
you have death wobble and replace the u-joint only yo find out it was mudd in your rims..
you still love jeeps and willl never drive anything else...

You know you drive an XJ when its not a question of if, but when your rear axel is going to blow itself up

When you can pull vehicles out of a ditch while its snowing that are a full 1,000lbs heavier than you

When you drive over medians instead of driving down the road and doing a u-turn

You know you drive an XJ when you hit a bump and your rocker panel falls out.

You know you drive an XJ when you actually start calling it an XJ not a Jeep or Cherokee
