when your cousin comes visiting and asks you, man why is it all the time I come into your house, the garage has more pieces of your jeep it?:cheers2::cheers2:
when you park in a convenience store and its a slight hill so you put your e-brake on. You go inside and come out to find your jeep accross the street in a lane blocking traffic
My e-brake is orange and looks like this for some reason. Yes, before you ask, it is the factory-equipped EMERGENCY emergency brake. The regular e-brake is for when the standard brakes fail, the e-e-brake is for when the e-brake fails. . . lmao
Happend to me. Stopped at a gas station, parked out side the doors. Left the engine on because I knew I would be in and out. It was a flat perfectly smooth spot. I kicked the ebrake down as far as it could and I went in. Im paying and the lady behind the counter is like "you jeep is rollign away!!!" haha
You know you drive a YJ when your back up E-brake is a wood block you saved from last winters woodpile. (not some fancy plastic thing.) This thread really makes me miss my YJ.
you know you drive a yj when, anything is a wheel chalk. i.e. large rock, large clod of dirt, anything in your jeep (including rear seats, passengers baby carriers) the list goes on.
you know you drive a yj when, you start collecting survivalist gear beacuse you just dont know when you might need it (3day supply of food water fire trapmaking&game preparing tools multiple first aid kits blankets multiple jackets in multiple sizes, this list also goes on)
you know you drive a yj when you suddenly start pulling over to check out thinks on the side of the road (cuz you thought you saw somthing cool)
while standing in garage with door open and i hear a pop i turn aroung and see YJ rolling down drive way i dash out of garage and catch it before it hits neighbors car parked on other side of street by a couple of inches. it's a good thing i stopped it or those 100lb bumpers i built would have tookout that import. :laugh:
For this one I actually teach High School Woodshop and CNC CAD/CAM.
The principle gets on the loud speaker and asks for the student with the "Muddy Jeep making a mess in the parking lot please come to the office" whoop's that was me.
To add on to the stellar wind dynamics
When you don't need blind spot mirrors, because you can actually feel the car in the other lane slowing you down like a brake.
When you take the kid to day care with top off and covered in mud, and the workers and mom's give you dirty looks.
You know you drive a YJ when you come upon a Hummer H3 stuck in the mud on the trail and your stock YJ gets it out in a couple pulls.... And everyone watching is amazed at what "that little jeep" can do.
you know you drive a yj when u pull up next to your typical middle aged sell out driving an h3 and when u look over he gives u a thumbs up... all icould do was laugh laught at his mall cruiser and give him a thumbs up back cuz i felt bad for his embarrising ride
when you forget to put the metal band back on your jack holder, drive over a bump and hear a bunch of clanging and stop and find your jack wedged against your alternator and the rest of the parts on the road behind you
You know you drive a YJ when you hydrolock going through a puddle a stock XJ and a pathfinder made it through. Luckily, your straight six is strong as hell, and after sucking out the water from the throttle body/intake manifold, removing the plugs and turning the engine, you fire out all the water out of the cylinders, put it back together, and it fires up and runs just as well as it did before the incident. Not to mention and you are able to finish wheeling and get back home and to work the next day (where you promptly do the first of what will be several oil changes over the next week or so).
On a side note, what the hell where they thinking chosing to place the air intake at the bottom of the grill. Almost as dumb as me not building my snorkel yet knowing it is so low.
Or you could live in oklahoma and have no inspections at all, gotta love it :2thumbsup:
