15?! Yeah, I saw your post here and you said that there wasn't an option for you age. I thought that either you were really old or just really young.
But wow, you must have some really nice parents who love you a lot. Hands down, you are the youngest
Lol I don't mean to be mean, but you don't even have your real driver's license yet

I got my first jeep when I was 14 1/2, had to wait 6mos before I got my license. Did drive it on the backroads on and off around my house. Funny story, my dad told me I could drive it in the field out back. It rained really hard for a couple days and the land collected water like a big soupbowl. Needless to say after about 2hrs of fun and totally rutting up and digging out the middle of the land, had to get my grandfather's 650case dozer to pull me out,haha. My dad came home late that Saturday night and didn't see the land. Next morning he almost dropped his coffee when he looked out the bay window of our house. All I said was"Dad, you told me I could ride back there" Took him a few Sunday's and a few loads of dirt to get it back level.

Re: age
While that may be true if you consider just the numbers by age, our experience is a whole lot more than these younger folks off-roading! I'm just glad to see younger folks involved. Hopefully by the time they get to our age, they will have the same experience we have.

41 I bought my JK on my 40th birthday. My dad helped my buy a 71 Bronco when I was 16. It had no p/S p/b was a 170 I6 with a 3 Speed. The only way to ever speed was in a 35 MPH zone. He helped me put a 4 inch lift and 35's on it. Man you have never really had death wooble until you drive a liffted Bronco with a half turn of slack in the manual steering box! My 13 year old daughter wants my Jeep when she turns 16. Same good points for her as the Bronco was for me. She'll never get a speeding ticket in a JK without trying real hard.
