Don't have a pic of my first ('49 Willys [actually not 100% sure of the year model]), or my '99 Grand Cherokee or '04 Liberty (just never thought about taking photos, I guess), but below is my menagerie over the years... '98 TJ Sport (new), then a '92 YJ, then a '91 YJ Islander, then a '97 TJ Sahara, then the '21 Gladiator.

While I've been off-roading with my family for years, this is my first Jeep, sold my 12' Tacoma to my brother and picked up my Gladiator last year. The day she arrived:

And how she sits now, along with my Dad's JKU:

My first (JKU) and second (a RHD TJ)

It’s a short list, but I was only old enough to get my license about the same time the TJ was rolling off the assembly line. If I can add in my wife’s list of a ‘13 JKU, ‘16 Compass, and now a ‘19 Grand Cherokee.
I sure wish I had my originals.

Base model 06 SE with the 2.4l and a 6 speed. Bought it used in 2009.
Stopped at my friend's house on the way home from the dealership and snapped a pic next to his XJ.

My first Jeep, pic taken about 1988? (1987 Comanche Sportruck short box 4.0 5 speed 4x4)

bill-1988.jpg
I wanted a Comanche pickup so bad when I was a kid. Settled for a 1979 Ramcharger as that is what I could afford on my National Guard pay. I still have it, old girl is rusty but still runs good.

I don't have any pics saved, but my first vehicle was a 1958 Willys Jeep pickup. It is on my long list of things to restore. I also have a 47 Willys CJ2A, 53 Willys CJ3B with an odd fire Buick 231 V6, and my wife drives a 17 Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary package. I had a 2012 JK Sport for several years. I sold it to get my 22 JT. I also had a 57 Willys Pickup that I sold years ago, still regret it. Other vehicles are a 2010 Dodge Ram Power Wagon and 1937 Plymouth Business Coupe.

I guess you could say I'm a Jeep/Mopar guy. Never owned anything made during the AMC years though, but someday I'd love to have a CJ-7. I have been following the Jeep Gladiator concept for years hoping Jeep would finally make a pickup again. They finally did, so I had to get one.

My first car was AMC, and my second, and third, and fourth......... The only non-AMC or non-Jeep vehicles (other than trucks, I've also had Ford and Chevy trucks) I've owned were after I got ,married the second time, then for a while we had a Stratus and my wife was a Camaro person so we had a couple of Camaros.
I really miss that Comanche. It was a fun little truck, worked hard and played hard. I'm sure it's long gone rusted away or crushed and recycled into some other car or truck. I saw it in Des Moines a couple of times months after I traded it off. Short box the way it was equipped pretty much gave it away as my former truck.
One of my wife's aunts still drives her deceased husband's little Jeep from the 80s around and if I see her again I might drop a hint - hey, if you ever want to get rid of it....... LOL late-60s widowed lady, it's really cool to see her driving that little thing.
