How To Point Out A XJer

[XJoshua]

Ohh yes its time for a game. Well not a game but some e-fun.

Objective: Give a few periods on how to point out a XJer in public or undercover.

Examples: Only guy at the junk yard who can find at least 5 cherokees in 5 seconds.

Positive Thinking: Doesnt have to be funny, but its always a plus.


--------------------


Only person out in a snow storm doing donuts at the local King Soopers parking lot.

[UNCC_99XJ]

One who looks at every XJ in the parking lot thats located between where they've parked theirs and the store they're going into.

....guilty

If someone's driving an XJ or MJ, that's usually a sure sign :D

OK, OK. They're looking under every XJ and MJ in the junkyard for a D44.

[Ted Young]

Me too!

Looks like they're going to barf when the see a stock XJ.

Did that and found myself one. The girl in the yard didnt know what to charge me for it so she said I could have it for $10.

waves at other XJ owners even when there not in their XJ.

[87manche]

has a nice clean undercarriage, but all the sheetmetal is trashed.

[Glenn B]

Only a person with no life would start a thread like this. (does that work?)

[JoesXJ]

<----- Looks for the NAXJA sticker on all XJ's and tells the ones without it to check us out (or become a member)

[GSequoia]

....guilty

Add to that: And manages to casually look to see what axles the vehciles are equipped with.

Looks like they're going to barf when the see a stock XJ.

That is not true at all. A true XJ person respects their very good capabilities even when stock.


I'll add one more, although it's more of a 4.0 Jeep person than just XJ person;

He/She can tell a 4.0 is driving by outside without looking and also correctly identify a 4.0 by the sound of it starting, again without looking.

haha, guilty of both.

knows more about the mall crawler's xj than the owner does

[91Woody]

LOL- par for the course.....

....can describe to you in a 500 word essay as to why they chose their tire package better than the local tire shops

[RyanM]

guy who'd stop for a fellow jeeper if broke down, if he has time!

[XJoshua]

Only a person with no life would start a thread like this. (does that work?)

Only a person with no life such as yourself would take the time to flame a thread starter for starting a non-tech topic in a off-topic forum because he believes the thread starter has no life.

Back to topic no, NO MORE XXXX BLOCKING!!!

Piss off kid. It was your game. You asked for responses, too bad if you came across one you did not like. :dunce:

Agreed on all points. The 4.0 does have a unique sound....

Definitely.....hate to see a fellow Jeeper on the side of the road...

[bjoehandley]

WWJD?

What Would Jackass Do?:rolleyes:

[bjoehandley]

We've got three, I can alway tell when one pulls up the drive...........

[djblade311]

even my wife recognizes my XJ from a block away.


You might be an XJer if you always shake your head when a h2 drives by

[Kyle Petterson]

The "XJer" is easily identified by his desire to wheel being far larger than his wallet.

[Slacker87XJ]

You might be an XJer if you always shake your head when a h2 drives by

Or point and laugh! :D

[ECKSJAY]

Or point and laugh! :D

I fling poo.

[Rev Den]

Finding a XJer is easy.....just follow the oil drips.

I would call that being NORMAL.

[XJPhoenix]

We've got three, I can alway tell when one pulls up the drive...........

Add another.

I sit up and notice if a hear it driving by, starting up nearby, or even if I hear it on TV!

Here's a few more ways to spot another XJer...

He/She twitches and wants to slap someone when they see the XK/Commander.

They get annoyed whenever someone yaks about how the new JK has more rear cargo room than the XJ.

And...

Usually winds up nearly weeping whenever some television show blows up, rolls, or otherwise trashes a perfectly good Cherokee. (Smallville, 3rd Watch, etc...)

Yes, I'm guilty of all of the above.

:)

[lazarus]

one that is almost suprised when any other besides an xj waves!

[Smittty9785]

anyone who see's another XJ lifted and get a smile on their face probley knowing its not a Mall Queen like most lifted vehicles out there

[signman2007]

1) Wakes up in the morning and checks :NAXJA:'s for sale forum for any new threads to see if there is something he needs yet he cannot afford to buy.
2) Checks periodicly throughout the day :NAXJA:'s for sale forums for any new threads to see if there is something he needs yet he cannot afford to buy.
3) Checks one last time in :NAXJA:'s for sale forum before he goes to bed only to find that there is about eight things he definatly needs yet he still can't afford to buy them but.....just for an evil minute or two he thinks to himself that he probably could buy a couple of those things if he went without electricity for about a month....then he snaps to it and thinks what the hell and sends a PM to the guys asking what it would cost to ship to his zip code JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY ONLY (yeah right) and then thinks "if shipping is only $3 bucks I'll do it and goes to bed only to get up and do it all over again.

Now that my friends I am guilty of...can you dig!:cool:

[UNCC_99XJ]

Man i'm guilty of just about everything in here.....

[bjoehandley]

Man i'm guilty of just about everything in here.....

Scary how many could be so like minded in some things, isn't it?

[WB9YZU]

Man i'm guilty of just about everything in here.....

You fling Poo?

[98XJSport]

How about someone that just happens to find and park in open parking spots next to other xjs at the store? I might have been accused of that before...

[jeepinandy]

They are the ones with the empty wallets....

:cheers:

[UNCC_99XJ]

You fling Poo?

On occasion.....it all depends on how much you tick me off....LOL:laugh3:

[Kittrell]

When you mention that you have a lifted Jeep, and the individual replies "Oh, you have a Wrangler, cool" And then they look at you and realize they are about to get slapped.

[Darky]

He/She can tell a 4.0 is driving by outside without looking and also correctly identify a 4.0 by the sound of it starting, again without looking.
Definitely a rather distinct sound...

[Darky]

You might be an XJer if you always shake your head when a h2 drives by
Or how about if you randomly hate other vehicles because some of their owners don't wheel them...even if the vehicle itself does pretty good in the hands of someone who does wheel it...

[casm]

Here's one from the drive into work this morning:

Spot a '97-up XJ a few cars ahead in another lane. Move over to get behind it; from the oval '4.0 Litre' badge on the back, it's either a 2000 or 2001 and really clean. Colour's Patriot Blue, so probably a 2000. No chrome licence plate plinth on the back, so not a Limited. Has the 8.25" axle. Pull up next to it; it's a Classic, no overhead console. Notice that there's a fairly cute redhead driving it and try to figure out the best way to signal a marriage proposal to her at 70mph. Then move forward to see if it has fog lights... :D

Ahh, so i'm not the only one tho starts trailin other XJ's on the highway.

Usually when i'm out runnin around with the family, my mom will ask me "what year is that one?" every time we see another XJ...:D

[Kittrell]

Ahh, so i'm not the only one tho starts trailin other XJ's on the highway.

Guilty as well. I get all pissy too when they get off the highway before I can get next to them. My XJ turns into a ferrari when I see another lifted one in front of me.

[remsing]

They get upset when they tell someone they have a Cherokee and that person says something like "Oh, my Dad has one; it has a V-8, a DVD player, ect.." and you have to explain that’s a Grand Cherokee.

Tired of explaining why a body lift will not work.

When they have to drive other vehicles they try to rest their hand on the shifter that is not there.

They use XJs as a form of currency “Man, I could have got ten jeeps for that one Escalade."

[seanyb505]

We've got three, I can alway tell when one pulls up the drive...........
I love impressing my gf when i call a jeep from a different level in a parking garage...

Another XJer spotting trick....they get mad whether someone calls it a car or even a truck. They reply with "Its a JEEP"

[UNCC_99XJ]

Guilty as well. I get all pissy too when they get off the highway before I can get next to them. My XJ turns into a ferrari when I see another lifted one in front of me.

Do you also get right up next to them and just ride side by side?

[Bluexj96]

If someone's driving an XJ or MJ, that's usually a sure sign :D

OK, OK. They're looking under every XJ and MJ in the junkyard for a D44.


OR looking under every stock xj you see in your college parking lot for a D44 and once it is found ask if they want to trade becuase they will never lift or wheel there xj.

[Kittrell]

Do you also get right up next to them and just ride side by side?

Yeah, hoping they will look over so I can wave. If they don't, they normally aren't a Jeep owner, they just own a Jeep.

I have always found there are two brands of people here. There are people who own Jeeps, and then there are Jeep owners.

We are the latter................:patriot:

[camarors8992]

I'm guilty of most on the list. However, when I had my YJ I enjoyed all the waves I got from fellow wrangler owners.

[UNCC_99XJ]

I have always found there are two brands of people here. There are people who own Jeeps, and then there are Jeep owners.

We are the latter................:patriot:

Agreed.

Might throw that quote in my sig for a while...

[GSequoia]

I get all pissy...

Nahhh, you? Say it ain't so!

:rof:

[pds84]

Yeah, done just about everything on here. Biggest one: I was watchin Terminator 3 the other day - and right before the part where Arnold turns away from John Conner and goes on a rampage into the vehicles (all pre-'96 XJs), my dad looked at me in disbelief when I muttered "at least they could've spared one for parts and sold it to me."

Yeah, you know you've got a habit when you get sore that Hollywood just trashed something you could've used in a project.

The other note: when you're out in the snow, and you notice either an XJ towing someone out, or run into one in a gas station doing patrols (like you are) for stuck motorists. Just because they can.

Hey, I'm damn proud of my station wagon! If someone calls it an SUV or truck I correct them and let them know that its a station wagon damn it!

[GSequoia]

Hey, I'm damn proud of my station wagon! If someone calls it an SUV or truck I correct them and let them know that its a station wagon damn it!

Yes, because when tagging it as a "Station Wagon" with insurance saves a load!

(With insurance one of my Jeeps is classified as an SUV, the other a Station Wagon, otherwise it's the exact same coverage. The station wagon is a good deal cheaper.)

[NfSALD]

XJ'er= the guy under the YJ fixing it the right way for his buddy.
XJ'er= The one not too worried about being stranded because there is a tent, plenty of food, and even the dog in the back.

[seanyb505]

Hey, I'm damn proud of my station wagon! If someone calls it an SUV or truck I correct them and let them know that its a station wagon damn it!
Now that I think about it, my Jeep is listed as a "Sport Wagon." I know its still a Jeep though.

other then the poo this is all true:laugh:

You might be an XJer if you always shake your head when a h2 drives by
C'mon, even Yota folks do that

Or tangle with lunch rush traffic in Denver (or any city) to get a part cheap (that you still can't afford) and brave the afternoon rush hour to get home.

How about someone that just happens to find and park in open parking spots next to other xjs at the store? I might have been accused of that before...
It's funny to do that to stock Wranglers with your lifted XJ. Even the Rubicons look pathetic.

Am I an XJer if I wake up, and after a quick phone call and maybe an hour's time I'm at an unpaved junkyard in the rain to get an upgrade part (a 231 t-case to replace the shelled 242)? Then put it in that evening to go wheelin the next morning?

[dirtdogger17]

hes the guy telling his girlfriend to buy a cherokee...guilty...she did

[TrueBlueXJ]

1) Gets disguisted by the sight of an H2.
2) Feels an uncontrollable urge to run over Honda Civics.
3) Often carries a creeper in the back of his rig.
4) Only rides shotgun in a Wrangler.

[90Blue_XJ]

Guilty of everything including the poo. I'm on the computer if I'm not in the XJ or sleeping. XJs more important than eating or constant employment. Just need the job for victuals for the XJ.

[UNCC_99XJ]

All depends on what parts you need for the Jeep as to if you need a job right??? :laugh3:

[Jess]

All employees at the local parts store know them by name

I have several XJ's at the moment and all the employees ask is what year is the one you are working on now.

[Blaine B.]

Person driving XJ stares at other XJ's driving in the area.

Too much to read. But I guess I'm not real XJer...My heater works awesome, I'm dwarfed by stock Suburbans, and I'd bet most that wheel sit even with if not a little lower than a Suburban, I don't know any of the parts guys, mine has been running good for while now. Mine starts first time, just about every time and tends not to stall (but its an auto, so I cheat :)), I Have maybe $500 tops, not including purchase price, into my Jeep, but it gets me through everything I throw at it, I envy the guy in the Land Cruiser cause I want one. Great truck on the street, way better than one would expect off-road and I could tow my Jeep to the trail behind it while riding in better than Cadillac luxury...My dented fenders were fixed by cutting them off.
Pretty much mine still sees plenty of street time and as such, I try not to abuse it. I wheel the piss out of it, but its only been sunk in the water once and only 3 inches deep...inside. But I love my Jeep, I love what it does and I love the fact that its a good ugly...

[Blaine B.]

Yer no fun.

[Xrated]

When even your soon to be father in law who hates wheeling can point out a good parts xj.

[88xjchief]

Most of these things are me. Its great to own a xj.

[Darky]

Yer no fun.
What're you talking bout, I'm loads of fun! :D Fun fun fun!!!:D

[53guy]

You get piping mad at the parts store when they ask you "Grand Cherokee?" when you specifically said "Cherokee" or XJ.


Your home page is http://www.naxja.org/forum


You know what fell off just by the noise your jeep now makes.

[Blaine B.]

:( lol

[cjsxj87]

You get mad at people who call grand cherokees Cherokees. You laugh at Cherokee drivers with doughnut spares cause they look funny even if there not on.

[djblade311]

You get piping mad at the parts store when they ask you "Grand Cherokee?" when you specifically said "Cherokee" or XJ.


lol. I can relate. I always say "REGULAR cherokee" before they even ask me again. but they ask me again..."REgular cherokee or Grand Cherokee"

:doh:

[UNCC_99XJ]

You know what fell off just by the noise your jeep now makes.
Or by the noise it makes prior, you know what's ABOUT to fall off.

You get mad at people who call grand cherokees Cherokees. You laugh at Cherokee drivers with doughnut spares cause they look funny even if there not on.
I wish I could figure out why some had full size spares and some had doughnuts.....why not make them all one or the other? And of course i'm lucky enough to have a doughnut.....go ahead an laugh if you'd like.

[88xjchief]

More cargo room and you can see out of the side window. He jelous he doesnt have one.

[UNCC_99XJ]

If I had a full size I wouldn't be in the market for a 5th rim right now. Don't see keeping the dougnut when I go up to 31's as working out too well....lol

[bjoehandley]

If I had a full size I wouldn't be in the market for a 5th rim right now. Don't see keeping the dougnut when I go up to 31's as working out too well....lol


That would be a sight...................

My sister just had a flat on her XJ with a doughnut spare, I gave her my full size spare so she would have a "normal" size tires all the way around.

[karstic]

Looks for XJ's in foreign countries (just spotted 6 in Peru)

[88xjchief]

The donut is fine for me. For right now im sticking with it.

[old_man]

You keep a set of donut spares to swap so you can get your XJ in the garage to work on.

[FELIX]

You drive your wife nuts, because you play a game while driving, where you say Jeep every time you see an XJ, and actually keep score losing points for mis calls or wrong models (Grands)

Man she hates to lose :shhh:

Or you never lose your way because of the trail of receipts you leave behind.

Another XJer spotting trick....they get mad whether someone calls it a car or even a truck. They reply with "Its a JEEP"


Guilty.

[91Limited]

They get upset when they tell someone they have a Cherokee and that person says something like "Oh, my Dad has one; it has a V-8, a DVD player, ect.." and you have to explain that’s a Grand Cherokee.

Haha once i was at a used car dealer looking at an xj, and the salesman said "Yeah, between 97-01 these came with an optional v8" Seeing me as a teenager, i guess he was waiting for my eyes to light up, instead I promptly walked out the door.

When they have to drive other vehicles they try to rest their hand on the shifter that is not there.

They use XJs as a form of currency “Man, I could have got ten jeeps for that one Escalade."

The guys(or gals) at the parts store make bets on what sensor you'll be coming in to pick up next.

The guys(or gals) at the parts store make bets on what sensor you'll be coming in to pick up next. When I was having sensor problems it was meeting me at the counter with the OBD2 reader, until I bought my own.

[ren]

The parts counter people ask "what did the part came off of?", instead of "what kind of car are you working on".

Heh, a little off topic, but I went into the parts store to get some front axle parts. I told the guy the part numbers I needed, but he said he had to know the application.

I told him they were for a kingpin Dana 60 external hub out of a 86 Dodge 2 ton in a 1976 IH Scout and he gave me a blank stare for about 5 minutes.

[ren]

Oh, the blank stare... How many times have I gotten the same look from the poor sap at the counter? Ah, never mind... I'd have to take my boots off to be able to get close to the number. Hee. :roflmao:

When they ask for the year make and model, I've had to point out the little box that says "part number" on their computer screens on many occasions. It usually comes as a complete surprise to them...

[Beej]

has trained girlfriend to want her own xj and point out all xj's on the road Obviously she isn't 'fiancee' or 'wife' yet... :D

My wife would rip my skin off and make doilies with it if I even attempted to get her to recognize XJ's...

:D

The wife is starting to realize that, as glad as I am that I was able to find the ZJ, I miss my little red XJ (ref: avatar). Saturday, when a red XJ went by she said, "There's your little red Jeep." Next step is to get her to realize that I intend to replace that little red Jeep. The plan is to make it her idea with little hits about me taking the kids on long camping trips, leaving her home to bask in the silence. She'd pay a lot for that. Even to carrying a third car on the books. The alternative would be to build up the ZJ. I'm not really eager to do that.

So, on topic:
Even though it's been 9 months, his avatar still mourns the loss of his XJ.

[Beej]

Right now we're shopping for a *gulp*, minivan... :rolleyes:

New one on the way and apparently the XJ won't cut it for baby duty. Although I dropped half my paycheck yesterday on various baby-related items and she was in a fantastic mood on the way home.

Up the street from our house there was a gold 72 Firebird for sale and she said "Oh, look at that. That would be a fun car for you to work on." I had to look at her face carefully before I decided she was serious, and then I pulled right over and wrote down the number... wish me luck...

:D

1) Wakes up in the morning and checks :NAXJA:'s for sale forum for any new threads to see if there is something he needs yet he cannot afford to buy.
2) Checks periodicly throughout the day :NAXJA:'s for sale forums for any new threads to see if there is something he needs yet he cannot afford to buy.
3) Checks one last time in :NAXJA:'s for sale forum before he goes to bed only to find that there is about eight things he definatly needs yet he still can't afford to buy them but.....just for an evil minute or two he thinks to himself that he probably could buy a couple of those things if he went without electricity for about a month....then he snaps to it and thinks what the hell and sends a PM to the guys asking what it would cost to ship to his zip code JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY ONLY (yeah right) and then thinks "if shipping is only $3 bucks I'll do it and goes to bed only to get up and do it all over again.

Now that my friends I am guilty of...can you dig!:cool:

Guilty on all counts!

The wife can have her minivan, as long as it's under warranty and I'm not expected to work on it. Of course, she expects that my Jeep will never go to the shop. Heaven forbid that the Jeep should cost anything, despite the fact that her van is costing $300/month.

A Firebird? Do you really want to work on a Firebird? The classic car shop down here in Conroe has been advertising a 440 Sixpack 'Cuda. I'm sure your wife wouldn't mind a road trip to pick up something for you to work on.

ahhh, see? you've got to train them early before there's any comitment involved, and if they learn quick enough, then they're keepers.

[XJSpencer]

You get piping mad at the parts store when they ask you "Grand Cherokee?" when you specifically said "Cherokee" or XJ.



or you say "No, A Real Cherokee."

Go for the Tahoe. It'll tow the XJ.:D

My wife just conceded that we don't have 3 cars.(exactly) We just have an "OHV" that'll do 80 on the highway. I hope that leaves the door open for another vehicle. She get really anxious when we've got 4.
