I'm 52 (and also have a CFO) . I'm on Jeep #3 (2014 JK) since my first one 20 years ago. So far the best part of being an older jeep owner is I can actually afford making the changes I want with out breaking the bank - best part is there was no point in splurging on anything taller than a quality 3" lift kit and 33" tires because it's getting to hard to climb in and out of anything taller than that.

Physically I'm 53, mentally I think I'm finally starting into my early 20's. Had an 89 Wrangler and traded it in 94 for a pickup. I've been Jeep-less since then. I guess this was my mid-life crisis vehicle, a 16 JK Rubicon Hard Rock.

52 and had my 15 JKU Rubicon for a year, Was lucky to have a friend in HS who would take me out in his CJ7. Just purchased my daughter a 14 Sahara JKU. I guess we are an official Jeep family now.

I'll be 58 this month. My first Jeep was a 1998 TJ and that was followed by a whole progression of other Jeeps in the next few years. I sold the TJ a few years back and decided I missed having a Jeep so last year I bought a 2015 Baja Yellow JK 2-door.
I have a 1953 Willys M38A1 (it doesn't live at my house yet - that's coming) that I hope to be able to restify - not a restoration in the truest sense but make it driveable and fun again.

62 here (A 1954 High Milage Model) We owned Jeeps from '74 and I worked for Jeep dealers for several years. Got bigger 4x4's when the kids came along in 1980 but back to a 2016 JKU S Sport. I'm lovin' it.
We just got back from the Outer Banks and am already missing the sand and surf. (Hurricane not withstanding.)

50, wife is younger... she has a '15 2 door Sahara X, I have an '08 Sport (X). When I met her she was driving a '76 CJ-7. We've had 4 CJ's before the JK's... love the lifestyle!

70 years old here. I started driving in my dad's 53' Willys wagon. Since then, Jeeps in my life have included a '47 CJ2, a '76 CJ5, a '95 YJ, my current 2012 JK that is my daily driver, and my wife's 2015 Cherokee. About a month ago I sold my Ural sidecar rig and used the proceeds to upgrade the JK so now it looks like this...

75 in December
I'll turn 75 in December and "Grandma & Grandpa's Toy" is our first Jeep. It's mod info is in my signature and we are enjoying the heck out of it. We also have ATVs and snowmobiles, but I missed snowmobiling last season to have a knee replaced. This last spring I traded our camp trailer and tow vehicle for a 2007 Outlaw toy hauler motorhome. We haul the ATVs inside and can tow the Jeep behind if we want.
I subscribe to the philosophy that "he who dies with the most toys wins". I don't know if I'll win, but that is all the toys we can afford.
