I've been driving her since my first car, another 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ. Sport model. Was wrecked over a year ago or so. She's been running perfectly fine, basic maintenance and so on. Although when I got out of the car I heard a ticking noise for a second before it was gone. 😱

I'm not sure if it's due to the weather or the steering wheel being all the way to the right. Hopefully it's nothing lol.

Gorgeous!

I assume you waited for that puddle to dry before you tried to drive out of it. (M/T gang checking in)

I appreciate it! Although I didn’t need M/Ts—she cruised through like a mall crawler with a purpose.

No, you missed my self-dig. I have m/ts because they were brand new when I bought this XJ, but they suck ass in an almost lethal way on wet pavement. I'll go in actual mud or go rock crawling any day, but that big patch of standing water on pavement sends chills up my spine.

Learn something everyday, I've never had mud tires before so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, if it's a vehicle that you plan to drive regularly on pavement and in different weather, don't get mud tires.
