When you go to the bone yard to get part and the XJ the yard is using for a "yard car" that they say they are "beating the hell out of" has all straight body panels, and the yard is in disbelief because you are buying parts for what you drove in ... that has no straight body panels...rusted out, and cracked windshield
this one is strait from my wife
when it takes two hands to turn a corner....one to hold the turn signal lever up or down and the other to turn the wheel....
i think she's telling me i need to fix my turn signal dingy
when you pass the 300,000 miles and its stronger then new with nothing done but regular maintence, and then laugh at other vehicles that barely get past 150 without needing serious repair
when you see a sticker on an XJ written upside down saying " if you can read this, roll me over" and it makes sense.
when your idea of a good hummer is your girlfriend.
when you replace so many parts that you'll have a new jeep when you swap the radiator cap.
own a $54,000 silverado SS but prefer driving your $1000 XJ (girlfriend swears I'm nuts)!
been givin a ticket for careless operation for a chunck of mud falling off and hitting a cop car.
gotten mad because they stopped making the XJ for the liberty.
you run over a junk car just to prove you could.
gotten so stuck the ferry boat had to pull you. (uncle is the captain, and we drove too deep in the river. he had to push me to the bank with the ferry).
when your cousin's 1980 chevy K-10 572 powered 4X4 with 44's can't go where your XJ can with 33's.
your radio is worth $60 but you have $2000 in marine amps and speakers to hear over all the noises and to be water proof.
you can't remember the color of it's paint.
you take pride in denting a dent.
when your passengers most common phrase is 1. holly sh*t! 2. oh my god! 3. WTF is wrong with you!?! 4. we're going to die!! or 5. is this a jeep or a cesna?
you can go through some of the worse terrain known to man without trouble, but get stuck in the yard after a rain.
and lastly, know the liberty is an insult to the jeep name!!!
your front bumper is held on with extension cord...... it really was!! lol don't ask...
gotten so stuck the ferry boat had to pull you. (uncle is the captain, and we drove too deep in the river. he had to push me to the bank with the ferry).
Wheelin's not as fun as it used to be because of all the Hummer drivers that keep asking you to recover their rigs.
You've started just saying, "Bah! V8s suck" when some goob says "Why don't youse drop a tree-fitty in deah? It'd be so easy!" because it ends the conversation quicker than trying to explain that off-idle torque and a broad torque curve are more important than 400 HP. And anyway Chevy v8s DO suck.
that was a cheap shot! I'm offended and appalled by that remark, chevy V-8's kick a$$!! want proof? you can't out run, out power, or out class my Silverado SS! 455hp and still getting better gas mileage than your jeep! oh, just kidding. I'm not bothered, just don't forget your helmet when you get on the short bus in the morning..... LMAO!
I've been playing with the idea of taking the engine from my CJ-7 and installing it in my cherokee. it's a 304ci V-8. still not sure what I want to do, but I want something not everybody has. hell, I got a small 4cyl caterpillar turbo diesel that would fit. kinda heavy but produces 500lb-ft of torque, and 165hp. haven't decided yet. either way, I have every intention of abusing the crap out of it!
When everyone knows you're not too picky about dinner Saturday and Sunday nights, because to you everything tastes like grease and PB Blast by dinnertime anyway...

Yeah, that would kick my a$$. Mine's a slightly tweaked resto, so its not going to dip much below 14 (traction limited on stock size tires). Bone stock except for electronic ignition, shift kit, hardened valve seats, and a thicker pair of head gaskets to drop the compression ratio to digest the p*sswater they call gas these days. The AC blows cold, so at least I'll be cool while I watch your taillights fade.... :wave: Not much good offroad, though. (OB Jeep content...)
I think I'll start another thread on "what would you want in your dream garage..." ;-)
due to crappy factory seals theres enough water in your 97+ under bumper stock foglights to fill the window washer reservoir if it runs out on the trail.
