The turd behind the parts counter asks, "Are you sure it's not a Grand Cherokee?"
you've put more than 5k into your truck and all the neighbors still refer to it as "that piece of crap"
You have to weld 300lbs worth of metal to your "Frame Rails" in order to keep it from falling apart.
the front end is self lubricating from all the oil leaks in the engine
you lift up the seat to grap a jack and you find old moldy cheerios from the p/o's kids
the other jeeps don't even wave at you, no matter how big your tires are..
You're a male driving a station wagon, you love it, and it was the best purchase of your life.
.....when the parts counter guy asks what year your vehicle is and you say "which part?"
You see another driving down the road and you can figure everything from year, to options, to drivetrain in about 10 seconds flat.
you can hear a 4.0 from across the parking lot.
when you have more oil in your air box than your engine and it STILL runs like a top!
when you know not to open your hatch while your flexing cause it wont close again
When you go to buy shocks and the parts guy asks you if its got AC
When a good day means looking under your Jeep after work and seeing only two tiny drips
When you can visualize every bolt that holds your Dana 30 in because you've replaced it twice
You know the starter sound of a 4.0
Your Jeep is a 94, front axle is from a 99, rotors, calipers, knuckles and unit bearings are from an 89, transfer case is from a 95, and your rear axle is from an Explorer
The above statement is why you don't ever want to take the Jeep to a mechanic because it would confuse THEM.
You're 200 miles from home and something is broken and you figure whats the worst that can happen, I'm driving home.
Driving to Utah sounds like a great way to use your vacation days
You know fluids by taste
You Jeep wave at other Cherokees and the soccer moms stare at you like you're crazy
You have a parts store loop trail that you use because inevitably someone won't have every part you need. (Mine goes Napa, Dealer, Autozone, Autozone)
Same for hardware and tools (Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowes, Do It Center, Autozone)
You try to pay for everything with pizza and beer.
Your passengers play a game called "whats that noise"
THEY get scared when you don't know the answer.
when you spend more time on Craig's List looking for parts than your favorite girly site.
You drive your trail Jeep for the first time in three weeks and get all paranoid about the terrible sounds it's making. After ten minutes you realize they're just the normal sounds in a lifted XJ
you had to write down all the things or parts that needed repair because the list was getting way to long to remember in your head
When someone asks if they can borrow/drive your Jeep a 30 min conversation ensues about all the quirks and noises it makes.
No matter what happens you know you wouldn't want to be driving anything else.
You walk thru parking lots looking under other XJs to see if they have a D44...and if you find one, you wait til the owner comes out so you can ask if they want to trade axles....
.none of your co-workers park within 4 spots of you, because they're afraid whatever your jeep "has", their vehicle might catch it too...
...you have to give someone a ride, and you say "wait a minute, I have to move the spare parts/tools off of the passenger seat/floor first so you can get in..."
people ask you "whats wrong with your jeep", and you give them a puzzled look and say "nothing, why?"
... when you never shovel your driveway, even if you have to 4low it in...
... when your neighbour ask's you why you don't shovel your driveway, and answer it makes is easier to pick up the spills...
... when they all laugh at your steel bumper with that ungodly winch on it, that's untill they ask for a tow from the ditch...
...You have scars from when you told your wife the jeep doesn't have A/C any more because you needed it to pump up your tires.
... You have been asked to clean your parking space at work because "if the owner saw that you would be fired"
... you buy a crashed XJ for parts, and then realize you already have all the parts to repair it..
you can't wait to go for a drive during the first snowstorm of the season...
When your Friends/Family/Coworkers ask "when will you be done working on you Jeep?" and you look at the with a dumbfounded expression and ask them to "Define Done?"
When your friends/family/coworkers have learned not to ask you when you'll be done with your Cherokee.
Your Jeep drives better in the snow than it does on pavement.
...When you have lost at least one potential relationship because the "what was that" sounds scared her away.
..You buy a new car for fuel economy/ride comfort and not 2 months later you are trying to sell it for what you owe, cut your losses, and get the XJ back on the road.
you heve broken up with some one because they called your Jeep "silly"
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.
when everytime you replace something you have to replace the bolts too because their rusted and broke during removal.
you pick a girl up for a night out, and it takes her 5 minutes to figure out how to get your rig without giving the street a show since shes wearing a skirt... then she gets frustrated and you get a show cause it was either you or everyone on the street
You go shopping at Harry's U Pull It with a reciprocating saw.
Your wife says it looks like a Jeep exploded in the garage.
Your visitors must park on the road, because the driveway has no more room
You have an accident, and cream the front of your car, and have almost all the repair parts 'in stock'.
you are threatened with eviction because you flexed on your old car.
you only lock the doors that open
you have enough partial quarts of oil to do an oil change
When you can wear your headliner, as a hat.
When you open the drivers door and it pops so loud, people duck.
You hang bent tie rods/ other busted parts on the wall
thats all i got for now. my right click on my mount mysteriously stopped working
