What's your favorite little quirk about your XJ?

Mine would definitely have to be how I can pull the key out while I'm driving and scare the **** out of whoever's in the car.

Either that or the noise my left sway bar link makes when I go over speed bumps. People think my entire front end is going to fall out. lol.

Whether or not a girl can get my passenger side window to roll up and down usually predicts what kind of night it's going to be

way to many to list but i guess my favorite is the ability of the tire noise to put my daughter to sleep on long trips,it has saved my sanity many times not having to listen to how much longer

when my front end clunks going over bumps, it annoys anyone in my car, and they always ask me about it, and my responce is always, "it's a jeep....get used to it"

haha I've gotten that. "this things like 20 feet in the air". And I'm only running 3" of lift on 31s I can't even imagine the complaining I'd here if I went higher.

I like the tire hum. Sometimes, depending on how fast I'm going and what I' listening to it will hum in the key of the song. Other than that I like how random things all over rattle and pop when I go over bumps.

I think we can all agree that speed bumps really bring out the funny/scary noises in our XJs haha.

Like when I tried to go over a speed bump at more then 2mph and the drivers side sway bar link snapped and sent the top bolt flying into a parked car.

how people have such a hard time opening the doors. I mean I could see it being hard if you don't have thumbs but....

At the most quiet and awkward moment the 4wd shifter decides to rattle while at a light
