Jeep owners tend to be active. What are your hobbies?

[spartan99]

I'm a full time single dad, so I do my hobbies less and less, but here's what I do:

- Surf
- Skate
- Cycle to and from work (20 miles total)

With the kids we go for trips all the time:
- Hiking
- Beach
- Camping
- Amusement parks
- Skate and bike parks

You'll rarely find me at home doing nothing. What do you folks do and where does your Jeep take you?

[SCJK08]

[robin]

I'm usually pretty active, my daughter was born about 10 months ago, so for those past 10 months I've stayed home more than ever. so my hobbies are.
atv excursions. we try to take long trips that involve camping.
fishing.
restoring old cars (I haven't done this in a while)
mountain biking
anything to do with motorcycles.
and also almost any other sport outdoors.

I guess I could go on about all this, but this are the most important.:thumbsup:

How long has your wife been a tattoo artist and does she work in a studio? I'm itching for another tat.

[berg]

Can't do too much physical fun.

Too many spinal and knee issues.

Before the Jeep I spent a lot of time crusing up and down the Jersey Coast looking for and photographing old US Life Saving Service stations and Old Coast Guard stations for a book I'm putting together.

Also, wheeling is my hobbie.:yup:

[R8R ROK]

Not enough time for everything.

Having an imagination is difficult sometimes.

[FLLawdog]

My newest hobby is overtime....damn Jeeps....

I just like being outside and the Jeep helps me. My only outdoor hobby at this time is fishing. I don't have a boat, so I just look for accesible bank fishing spots.

I'm wanting to start hiking and kayaking.

I love camping, but my wife and I have two different ideas of what camping is.

[spartan99]

Lot of surfers here.

R8rrok your license plate looks familiar. I might've seen your Jeep somewhere in the Bay Area. I work in San Jose, maybe I've seen your Jeep.

My next hobby will be jet skiing. I just have to get one and there's a lake in San Jose (where 85 meets 101) that allows them.

That Book sounds really cool. When I retire I think photography will be another hobby of mine.

[toad]

I thought I camped alot before I got the jeep..now, with off-roading, camping is almost every 2 weeks. I also do alot more photography now that I have the jeep. Basically..the jeep is my new obsession..er....hobby. :D

Oh and let's not forget tailgating!! Can't wait to tailgate my Jeep. Bought the detonator yellow because it's the color of my almamater. Can't wait to drive by the stadium on game day with me giant SJSU flag attached to the back.

I used to "jeep" in high school with my "73" Wagoneer. We to college, had a family and could never justify a 2 door or liberty or etc.... So when the 4 door came out I showed my wife and it was her turn for a vehicle and we got it. Less then a week later she handed me the keys saying it's mine.

So just owning it is a major one. Now after a year, I think she's ready to do some real Jeepin!

Also minor restoration of old cars (right now 79 Vette, 87 5.0 Stang and 73 Triump Spitfire.)

AlthoughI feel a bit inadaquite (sp?) based on the outdoorsy stuff the others do.

Since I tattoo 50+ hours a week, and have 4 children (14,5,2,and 10days), I don't get much hobby time. Nights are devoted to my wife, whether reading, watching movies, or just catching up and relaxing. Mornings belong to the 2 yr old, my little angel. The 5 yr old and I go fishing fairly often, and I have enjoyed customizing both of my harleys and the wifes Hummer, but I would have to say that most of my free daylight hours go to the JK, thinking up new things to do to it to make it unlike others. Currently project is light bar/ basket endeavor. Will be spectacular.
