You know you own/drive a XJ when...

[jvanhare]

...when the passenger can sometimes put down the power window, but the driver always had to put it up.

 

[jvanhare]

...when every XJ in the family's Check Engine Light is permanently on but they all run fine.

 

[jvanhare]

...when you fix the used one the previously owner unloaded for cheap with a $13 used power steering pump and 2 screws.

 

[jvanhare]

...when you fix the EGR valve with a pair of scissors and two screws...and it suddenly runs better than new.

When you never have to worry about your driveway rusting.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

If finally dawns on you that your shackle busings no longer squeak, and it brings a smile to your face.

then you get where you were going and take a look, only to realize your bent exhaust pipe has completely melted the busing out on the passenger side. :eyes:

 

[SAMSET]

when you know there is something wrong with your transfer case but you wheel all day anyways...and drive home.

 

[1985xjlaredo]

when your 250 dollar XJ gets you back and forth to work for 2 months for the cost of a fluid change being the only other $$ invested!

 

[XJwheelman]

you have to lie to your girlfriend and tell her your going to see yours parents for the weekend but your really going wheeling with your brother and some friends.

 

[SC Rednek]

...you use full strength degreaser on your driveway every few months.

haha yes glad you posted that up i was dieing when i read that text you sent me.


when you split the frame in half and the rear leaf spring is right through the rear passenger seat (actually happened) while wheeling and you can still drive it back to the school parking lot where it sat for 2 weeks

THEN

drive it 4 miles with one dragging tire all the way to its final resting place on a farm.. where i took out the front axle with a buddy with 2 logs holding the xj up and a snap-on hand saw

 

[Wallyman]

When you never have to worry about your driveway rusting.

HAHAHAHA i like that.

 

[DaddyGreenGenes]

you show up muddy and on foot despite leaving home in said XJ

 

[larsen]

you buy new tires when there's nothing wrong with the old ones.

 

[jmaxj]

you get get tons of suspension flex due to the body twisting cause you chose to build a spineless jeep

 

[GSequoia]

You know it's an XJ when you spend the first twenty minutes of a drive after a two week (or more) rest wondering which of the shakes, rattles, and noises are normal and which may be a sign of impending doom.

 

[kastein]

you know you drive an MJ when it takes 5 minutes to replace both rear shocks and you only need a single socket and ratchet

 

[NorCAL_XJ11]

You always open the passenger door for people who you are giving rides to. Not because you're a gentleman, because nobody else can get the effing thing open.

HAHAHA i have to do this all the damn time

 

[NorCAL_XJ11]

when your friends fight over not sitting shotgun on rainy days because the passenger front leaks so badly

or the sunroof leaks

 

[NorCAL_XJ11]

When your son is glad to help with modifications because he knows it will someday be his

My daughter wants mine and shes 4..
