59 nine years young. My mind keeps telling me I still 21. My body keeps reminding that my mind is delusional. Wild photography and my jeep have a very symbiotic relationship. Been driving jeeps for 25 years and expect to be driving them for a long time to come.

Turn 60 in May. Had a Cherokee Chief, a 78 with mods. Then switched to a Cherokee 4Dr. (two kids) an 85. and sold it and got a 4X4 Suburban 6.2 had fun with that with now three kid car seats, and then sports equipment. CJ,YJ,and JK's can't haul ice hockey gear for three kids and not lose someone's gear on the Freeway (they always forget to close the bags). Now all three are out of the nest and the wife and I are looking to get a new JK. I am debating on getting the dealer mods, or Macgyver them myself.....

I'm 68 and have my 11th Jeep. Bought a new JKU in 2008 and thought it would be my last. Dark blue metallic with a black hardtop. In March I got a new all grey 2015 JKU Sahara. Chances are this will be it for me. I really love the new one. I have had a Jeepster, a Scrambler, a CJ-7, a Comanche, a Cherokee, a YJ Renegade, Grand Cherokee Limited, a couple of TJs, and a couple of JKUs. The CJ would climb a tree if you could get traction. The new one is the best all around vehicle. Loved everyone of them.

Last year my parents turned 70, to celebrate their 52 years of marriage they bought a JK. They have a gaggle of 70+ friends that they "Jeep around" with in South Georgia and Florida.

I'll be 57 next week and my wife is 60. I sold my 98 TJ in 2005 but she still has her 2000 TJ that she bought new. I decided I needed another Jeep so I picked up a 2015 JK 2-door about a month ago.

We started going off-road when we lived in Colorado in 1981 and generally have had some sort of 4WD ever since, but the 98 TJ was our first Jeep. The JK is our 7th Jeep.

53 and just bought my first Wrangler, a 2015 2dr Willy's. We have had several other jeeps including a Commander and Grand Cherokee. Those others do not feel the same as having a JK. What a great ride

42 here. Have owned several Jeeps since moving to Canada from the UK...'95 Grand Cherokee V8, '89 Cherokee, '03 Grand Cherokee Overland V8, '14 Grand Cherokee Altitude and now a '15 Sahara 2dr.

So far i've swapped out the factory 18's for a set of Rubicon rims and tires, added PIAA driving lights, changed the fog lights for PIAA units and the same for the headlight bulbs (I can now see ahead of me properly at night), also added a Mopar fuel filler door so the filler area doesn't get bunged up with snow, switched the "Sahara" decals for some retro ones, added a Cobra WX75ST CB with a tailgate mounted antenna. I've done all the work myself so far and intend to add a small amount of lift so I feel more comfortable when hitting the ruts on the mountain trails nearby. It's my daily driver so has to remain practical.

Just sold the factory rims and tires so now looking to redirect that money into the next mod....likely a soft top since mine didn't come with one. I'm wondering how well the Trektop Pro will stand up to a BC winter as it may tempt me to sell the hardtop...if not I'm just going to buy a complete Quadratop so I have something equivalent to the factory setup.
