Default Not just for kids!

I am 31, Married with two kids. Use our JKU as a daily driver. The whole family LOVEs having/riding in the Jeep and is a part of our family "identity" Its our portal to exploring the outdoors, camping, hiking and spontaneous adventure down random fire breaks. Visit a dealer or check out a friends JK and take it for a spin. You will both be hooked!

29 years old here. My Wife and I were 22 when we bought our first Jeep, a used Compass...it was a lemon so we traded it in for a new JK Sport in 2011. We still have it and absolutely love it. We are now looking to add a JK Unlimited or JL Unlimited to the family within the next year.

We will never be too old to own a Wrangler, we hope to keep our 2 door for as long as we can keep her running.

Update, I'll be 75 tomorrow. My 2012 JKUR is still my daily driver and I take it off-road on easier, scenic trips. Spent almost 2 weeks this year in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument four wheeling all over it with some of my Early Bronco friends. My brother drove my 71 Pinzgauer in this picture on Boulder Mountain when we did Hells Backbone.

Default 43

I'm 43 it's my 1st jeep wont be my last, its a JK 2016 75th anniversary; it's my DD and it's comfortable even on long trips I love it. think you will find it's a vehicle for all ages, and can be very tailored to your needs of driving style. this is why everyone loves them no matter how old or young you are. I am still an active duty Marine at my age and the Marines in my unit are all much younger but respect that i am still out there doing a job few could do at my age. My grandma once said the key to life is to never stop moving cause then you are already dead. stay young my friend get the jeep let her drive it she will see it is a great vehicle for keeping your youth.

I’m 42 with my second one-34 on first one. Missed first one for the four years without one. Friend has one in mid forties. Said it took five years off her life when she got it. I agree that it makes you younger. Age is just a number anyway.

Default Jeeps

Just turned 49, 3 grown kids and on our 4th Jeep, the latest which we bought for my 18yr old son to use (Jeep, JK 2 door 6spd). Two of our Jeeps were our DD and I would still have one as my DD if I didn’t need a pickup to tow our camper.

Bought a Copperhead JK for my 18 yr old daughter a couple years ago. Got to drive it a few times and had so much fun with it I just bought one for myself as my DD and I'm AARP age, so I cover both ends of the range I guess.

We have seen our customers JKs and their age does range from its low teens to 50s even 60s.
I daily my Jeep and its honestly not as bad as you think! The JK appeals to everybody no matter the age.
I am 22 and i have a 07 JKU.
Like Uncle Walt once said "...Adults are only kids grown up, anyway."
