LOVE that sticker behind the door. Was that a custom job?

JT the Silver Bullet

Of course it’s silver and being a Jeep; I thought bullet was an adequate description.

I do all the stickers myself. Draw them up in Autocad or Solidworks and print them with my Silhouette Portrait printer.

Some people here berate naming an inanimate object, namely the Jeep. Saying it’s.... this or that. As humans we have Been naming stuff for hundreds of years. Nimitz, Enterprise, Hood, Bismarck, Dallas, Washington, Panther, Tiger, Falcon, Viper, Eagle, Abrams, Kalashnikov, Colt, Peacemaker, Trident. As opposed to ship, tank, fighter, gun, missle model numbers etc. Example the F-16 named the Falcon is called a Viper by its drivers, The F-14 was known as a Turkey in stead of its official name TomCat (lots of rudder input on landing looks like a turkey coming in. Matter of Fact a corvette, actually a C6 or C7 etc was named after a fast excite fighting ship. I personally don’t give my vehicles a “pet” name but I am also not one to put down those who do, no matter how politely it was said, it didn’t need to be said!

Because my Gladiator is white (duh) and I'm a bourbon drinker.

White dog, the unaged spirit distilled from fermented mash in bourbon production

You're right. It's been going on for years. We named our 4 wheelers too. I even named my personal weapons like we do in the military. Sometimes it's just fun and cool!

My brand new white JT was immediately named TK421. Awaiting the decals now.

Mine would have to be 40 on the side and "Mississippi" on the fantail.

We have a guy at work with a grey JKU. He has hull numbers on it. I think he was a sub guy.

You kind of went tit-for-tat in that one, didn’t you?

Simply stating that I don’t name inanimate objects is not berating anyone. It’s called making a statement.

I have never named any of my cars but I think when I get my jeep it might get a name. It just seems that jeeps and their owners have a different repport conoared to other cars.

I suppose I could start a poll and ask which do you more pictures of, your jeep or your kids. To me, a jeep is just another member of the family and is deserving of a name.

Ours is called "Dunder Jeep II". My wife always thought the AC/DC song "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" was "Dirty Deeds Dunder Jeep" so our old TJ was called Dunder Jeep, Dunder for short, when we got the JT it became Dunder II. I know kind of stupid but funny.
