Default Age is just a number if your older than 30

Yep, 43 third jeep but, first wrangler. No complaints. wow. I think the wranglers were designed for more mature group. Just because you have to be careful on the pavement. Its not a 64 GTO. Its a serious off road machine. WHen someone recently asked me why I finally stepped over to a wrangler. the only response is " did you ever wish you could go anywhere with your vehicle, other than the obvious like scuba diving.. well thats the feeling driving a legendary Jeep wrangler.

I guess to look back like many of you I think how like was before the JK seems a distant memory. Like bikes, faster cars than was needed and pickup that weren't made for hauling anything. Its nice to have a all around vehicle. my 2013 2dr jk is like a really safe motorcyle, a cool car with top down, serious off roader and a nice comuter vehicle, mpg's are even better than I expected. Though the XJ's were fun too. Now that we all have JK's whats the chance of then bringing back any kind of inline engine?

My first jeep (Willys) 1962 was wagon 2-wheel drive. I now have 2013 Jk sport. Will be also getting a 2014 Rubicon later this year.
I am now 63 and love the JK. It's like a Model-T ford. I got the basic model and you can modify it any way you want.

I'm 50, and currently driving a 2010 JKU Rubicon. My first Jeep was a '76 CJ5, followed by a '83 CJ7, then went to a '87YJ, which led to a 2000 TJ, and finally to my 2010. I have also had a Cherokee and Grand Cherokee in the garage also. The first Jeep I remember riding when I was still in short pants was my fathers old highboy (CJ3B), he always had a Jeep, and I guess I just followed in his foot steps.

Most of us on this run were in our 50s and 60s, with one couple in their 20s, and another in their 30s. I'd say that covers just about all ages.

Believe it or not, that fellow on the left and the ugly one on the right (also known as me) are 63.
