You know you drive an (built)xj when...

[Pedro]

those are long lists tho

[Tom]

-you heve broken up with some one because they called your Jeep "silly"
-When you can wear your headliner, as a hat.
-When you open the drivers door and it pops so loud, people duck.
-You are the only one on the street who doesn't plow their driveway
-When you finally wash the mud off, everyone thinks you bought a new rig

[wannabejeep]

yeah these were so true. I like the parts store ones.

Btw yesterday on my way to fairfield some guy in a big black jk waved to me. My friend who was driving with me started laughing and goes "It's funny because he was on the opposite side of the spectrum. That was a $30k mall crawler on 18 inch rockstars and this is a $3k trail rig on $40 dollar rims."

the one about picking up the girl with a skirt on is soooo true.

when adam first lifted his jeep, it was right at the beginning of spring, and the first time i wore a skirt i got in his truck and my entire HS almost got a free show

so you opted to give your high school a show as opposed to adam?


oh and this one:

"you have broken up with some one because they called your Jeep "silly"

is quite true in my case

Those are great.

my green jeep had a dented oil pan, and whenever my nose was down, oil would seep out pretty rapidly.

i have always had some sort of power steering leak in my jeeps, Usually my steering box blowing out every seal it has.

my current jeep has a bad rear main right now

most of em are spot on, but i think the whole " my jeep leaks some sort of fluid is" a giant overkill. Ive had 4 jeeps and none of them leaked oil. The oil time ive leaked was when i destroyed a driveshaft and ATF came spilling out my tcase.

i've owned 4 jeeps and they all leak fluids and piss off my dad for wrecking the driveway hahaha. you got lucky man

[Wide-J]

Very cool lists guys! Much of the same is true for YJ owners...well mine at least.

Some of those are honestly spot on. I like the one "your jeep drives better in snow than it does on pavement" so fucking true.

You know you drive a BUILT rig when.....

If you use a hose to clean the inside and the outside
You can air up your tires without stopping at a gas station
When the best route from point A to point B is through the rockpile or over the mountain
When a scratch or a dent is a beauty mark
You roll it over and don't get upset
Your mom and sister can't get in without help
You judge every hill you see by how much fun it would be to climb
You get custom pin-striping from trail brush
If it takes more than 6 hours to get donuts
When you pull into the unplowed parking spots on snowy days
When you take your friends wheeling and they say "What trail? I don't see a trail!"
When you've been forced to add TJ, CJ, YJ, and XJ to your spell-checker
When you can see OVER a Suburban
You carry emergency supplies and clothing because you never know where you will end up
When your Nerf bars battle rocks and win
When it rains and you don't care that your tops and doors are off
When you drive around to look at Christmas lights topless
When you change your plugs in the parking lot at work on a break
If your Parts Dept. is on blocks behind your house
When you take your Mom wheeling and she has to help you flip the Jeep back onto its wheels again
You use an ice-scraper on the INSIDE of the windshield
You get more heat from holes in the floorboards than through the heater vents
Every page of your repair manual has greasy fingerprints
Passengers scream "DON'T ROLL IT!" when you take them wheeling
You spend more time under your Jeep than under your significant other
Winter comes and your can't remember where you left the roof
You spend more on car washes than on insurance
Even worse the car wash won't let you in
You fix almost everything yourself
When you feel sorry for someone in a $60,000 Toyota Land Cruiser
When you have all your credit card numbers memorized
When you slam the door and chunks of dried mud crumble to the ground
If you get asked to pick up your co-workers in a snow storm and get paid for it
Your "Significant Other" refuses to get in it
You are the only one on the street who doesn't plow their driveway
You are dating your mechanic to get a discount
You try to run the plow trucks off the road when it snows heavily
You can't hear your $200 stereo over the noise of your tires on the highway
You have a high-water mark INSIDE the rig
Any tire that isn't waist high looks like a bagel
You carry a set of steps with you at all times
You can't sneak into church late because the engine is too loud
You carry along enough tools to supply a small garage
You nickname your rig after the noises it makes or it's most damaging trail accident
You carry along a replacement part for every drive component on the Jeep
You know how to reinforce the windshield frame near the wiper arm
You're constantly getting passed on the highway
Your wallet is always empty
When you finally wash the mud off, everyone thinks you bought a new rig
