Default Help...How do I keep the wife out my Jeep?

Not with me in it....when I'm at work.

I had this old Cherokee that my wife never wanted to ride in. It was a trail beater for sure. I decided to upgrade and fell in love with the JKU after one test drive. My JK rides as well as her minivan. So now that I have an 09 JKU, I still drive my car to work because it saves on gas and the mileage. BUT she and he friend want to take it our around town when I leave it home. My other car is an 07 Mazdaspeed3, so it's a fun drive too...just a different kind of fun. She is even calling my Jeep "Ruby"....aggghhh! Can't I have anything of my own? LOL!!!

Can anyone relate? I'm going outside now to pee on the tires

Take the negative cable off of the battery post she'll think it won't start! Be creative.

FYI MY wife said that's what you should do.

I don't think my wife would think to look under the hood.

I was going to sell the other car, but she talked me out of it. I'm starting to see why

I'm gonna throw out a different perspective. I would just embrace the fact she enjoys the jeep like you. How many post have we all read about how some guys wife hates his jeep, doesn't understand why he takes it offroad, or why he wants to modify it.. I'm in a similar situation, as you, that my soon to be fiancè loves my jeep. She has even prevented me from selling it when we had tight money situations. She knows how much I enjoy my jeep and she loves going 4wheelin with me, hints why I'm gonna propose to her on Wednesday. I think its an awesome that tour wife wants to take the jeep out. I know, personally, that its pretty bad ass when I see my beautiful, soon to be, fiancè pull up in my jeep.
