This Jeep XJ Went Off-Roading Right Into An Apartment Complex
This Jeep XJ Went Off-Roading Right Into An Apartment Complex-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:18

Jeep XJs are some seriously capable vehicles able traverse some gnarly terrain without breaking a sweat. But with great capability comes great responsibility. What happens when you forget to take your XJ off-roading? It goes off-roading anyway.

The claims that this Jeep Cherokee ended up in a strange spot because the owner was trying to unload a TV near his apartment and accidentally hit the gas instead of the fat pedal.

But we know the truth. Sometimes XJs get confused. Their creator (AMC) designed them to smash boulders and rip up muddy farmer’s fields. But people try to domesticate them—to drive them to, dare I say it—the mall.

But it’s hard to keep these XJs tamed. This Austinite XJ owner made one too many Best Buy runs, and the XJ just couldn’t take it. It saw what appeared to be a 45 degree ramp and got excited.

“AN RTI RAMP!” the XJ exclaimed in excitement. But the XJ forgot that it was stock, and that its departure angle was not even close to 45 degrees. And that the staircase was too narrow. What resulted was a bunch of broke stairs and an XJ high-centered on its rear axle.

Sometimes XJs get confused.

Hopefully this one gets fixed up and back on the road. Or off it.

Oh, and hey look! The Austin Police department helped Scooby the dog get down from the third floor. It’s not the first time a Scooby had to get extracted from Jeep territory (hey-o!).

I Can't Be The Only One Who's Seeing This
Mercedes unveiled ttoday! They call it the X-Class, and our own Andrew Collins said it looks sleek. He’s right! It does look sleek. Like a sleek robot pig. There’s just something about that snout-like upper grille and that wide, leering mouth-grille below. The little squinty headlight-eyes and the overall bulk...

This Nearly $70,000 Ford F-150 Backed My Trailer Up For Me And It Was Easy As Hell
This Nearly $70,000 Ford F-150 Backed My Trailer Up For Me And It Was Easy As Hell
Backing up a trailer is one of the most ceaselessly counter-intuitive procedures in the world of trucks (or at least everyone else tells me it is), but not if you have an F-150 equipped with Pro Trailer Backup Assist. At least, that’s what Ford told me when they lent me...

Here Are The Likely Engines For The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas SUV (No, There's No Diesel)
We just got an email from an anonymous tipster who works for a Volkswagen dealership that included super duper top-secret, highly classified information about the ’s engine options, options that—after spending hours decrypting the complicated security code using my own personal Enigma machine—I can show you now.
