How many "experienced" Jeepers do we have?

[Benbean66]

I'm 45, and am on vehicle #39. Among those were a '66 CJ5 w/ the Buick V6, a '48 CJ2A w/283 ci Chevy, a '91 Wrangler manual 4.0 "Islander" edition, an '84 XJ (manual 2-door sport w/2.5), a '00 XJ (manual 2-door sport w/4.0), (3) '88 YJ's (one fully restored and still have, one RHD [gone, but have all the RHD pieces], and one that is about to become a Rat Rod), and my '00 JT sport.

"Experienced" Jeep owner, or experienced owning jeeps?

Just turned 66 last month. On my 6th Jeep, and my 5th 4x4 truck. First Jeep was a '88 Cherokee. First 4x4 truck was a '76 Chevy with a 6" lift and 40" Gumbo Mudder tires.

52 here only had 4 jeeps probably about 10 trucks first on being a 78 ford f150 with a planted 351 windsor from a 76 granada 4 barrel and 35 inch tires

My favorite toy was probably the 84 Bronco II that I shoehorned a 5.0 roller motor in from a 86 cop car and a built c4

Felt great getting back into a jeep last year after too long of a hiatus. A lot has changed in 20 years.

Jeep got taller and faster and I got slower and shorter!

Age is only a number. A Jeep will keep you young for ever.

I am 73 and wife is 69. We love the versatility of the Jeep and have it in the desert all we can.

This makes me want to bolt a length of channel iron to the front of my JT! Oh, for simple solutions! ?

I wheel the shit out of all of these. Have been for over a decade.

My 1st jeep was a 1987 YJ. 2nd was a 1998 TJ. Then a 2007 KJ. Then a 2016 JKU. Now the 2020 JTS

Have had 4X4's since early 70's. First was a 67 CJ, with the Buick V-6, then a 76 Cherokee Chief.....then on to a number of Bronco's and other Fords, now back in the Jeep realm with the Glad.

Guess I kinda resemble that remark. My first 4x4 was a 72 IH Scout with the 345 ci bus engine and 4-speed. It would go anywhere. I've had a 4x4 of one brand or another since then. First Jeep was a 98 TJ. I've owned Jeeps since then.

I'm within spitting distance of 70. Slowing down but still love the desert and getting out there as much as possible.

I'm starting to get experienced in Jeeps as I've now owned nine of them in my 40 years of existence.

Channel iron made for an AWESOME front bumper! And a lot cheaper than my steel Rubi unit!
