Born in '58. Bought a TJ 10 years ago, mostly so I could find geocaches in more remote areas. I've been a Jeep Guy ever since. The TJ died a month ago, so I'm the proud owner of a 2015 JK Sport. Only had 7500 miles on it when I drove off the lot, so it's in great condition.
Some say I’m old, I say eff that. Was born in “61”
HS Class of “78”
I recently bought my first Jeep (17 JKUR) and just now ready to kick off my upgrades.
I am however, not new to off-road fun.
I’m really excited about the “Jeep life”, I’m at the age, and stage of life, where I can do stuff “right” or close to it, and when it comes to this stuff, age =experience.

I say don’t sweat the years, revel in them.

Man you must of skipped a grade or two. I was born in 61 and graduated HS in 80, or I could just be a dumba$$
Good looking Jeep, enjoy it. I don't think you're ever to old for a Jeep. Don't forget to wave.
I said OLDER , not OLD, LOL! Older as in not one of the kids .
Kinda like the story of the 2 jeeps one fresh outta school , the other had been there, done that, sitting up on the hill looking down at the trails. The young jeep says, lets haul ass down there and run one of those trails! The more seasoned jeeps looks over and says, lets take our time and drive em ALL !!!!!
That's what I'm talking about!
You know very well, that IS NOT how that joke goes.
If you're still paying attention to this thread, I'm in Tx. as well (Livingston), I'll soon be looking to meet up, and do some "wheelin'" with others in the area.
Cheers

I remember that joke being about bulls and cows....
I turned 49 back in February. I started wheeling foreign rigs somewhere in the 90's while stationed in Montana. Back then I went through a Dodge Raider (Rebadged 2 dr Mitsubishi Montero), an Isuzu Trooper II, a 2 dr Suzuki Sidekick that I lifted, and a 2 dr hard-topped Geo Tracker. I was surprised at the capability of those little things. Got into Jeeps in the late 90's with my first being a XJ that I put a Rusty's Offroad budget lift in. Been through a few others over the years. Grand Cherokee, YJ, Liberty (KJ)... Currently my DD is a 09 JKU, also have a lifted 97 TJ. A few years ago, got my dream come true '48 CJ2A and recently added a '66 CJ5 plow Jeep to the collection. It has the V6 Dauntless in it.

I'm 49 and currently own two Jeeps. I have a 2018 Recon Edition on 35's and 2001 TJ Sport that has been a garage queen it's whole life( I bought it from a car collector two years ago).
I knew I wanted a Jeep from a small child up. My earliest recollection was wandering off in a restaurant when I was 8 and terrifying my parents. They found me sitting in some random topless CJ5 acting like I was driving (vroom vroom noises and all LOL).
As if two Jeeps sitting in my garage isn't enough, I'm planning on buying a JT Scrambler once all the buying frenzy and dealer gouging stops. My kid's inheritance be damned LOL
I turned 40 this fall, so middle of the pack - lol.
Started off when I was young and through college was anti-jeep, stuck with fullsized rigs on tires between 38-40s.
After college moved south, well south for me - 8hrs south, and now was wheeling in offroad parks. Catered more towards smaller rigs on the trails, and now I had to tow my rig to places, so this is when jeeps became part of my lifestyle - be about 17 years ago.
So then the addiction started, and since then have owned 20 jeeps - lol.
Ranged from XJs, CJs, Wagoneers, WK, WK2s, TJ, MJ, JK, JKU
Currently have my JKU, CJ2a, CJ6, WK2
