A constant sense of longing and unfullfilment (no matter how much you mod there's always more to do), meeting so many other Jeepers is great, poor posture and bloodshot eyes from spending every available moment on this forum, the amazing temporary satisfaction you get every time you get something for your Jeep, being able to be outside while driving, I miss my Jeep whenever I'm not sitting in it, and the best side effect of owning a Jeep: being AWESOME!

--- My wife also gets treats every time my Jeep gets one. I just bought her a $1200 ring so I could my Jeep a $600 lift.

--- I'm normally a very friendly guy but I'm very defensive about my Jeep. A guy in a parking lot once told me he didn't like the colour of my Jeep because "it's not a Jeep colour". I told him not to f#cking look at it and stared at him while he got into his car and drove away.

Every Jeeper should be aware of JEEP disease (Just Empty Every Pocket).



There is a potential for financial risk in patients with preexisting JEEP modification disease. Therefore, treatments for JEEP dysfunction, including Wrangler Sport, X, Sahara, and Rubicon should not be generally used by Jeepers for whom extreme fun is inadvisable because of their underlying financial status.

There is no controlled clinical data on the financial fitness of Jeeping in the following groups; if done, this should be done with caution.
· Jeepers who have suffered overdrafts within the last 6 months;
· Jeepers with high credit card balances;
· Jeepers with with no viable means of support;


In the event of JEEPing that persists longer than 4 hours, the Jeeper should seek immediate financial attention. If this condition is not treated immediately, brain tissue damage and permanent loss of money could result.

My '65 Mustang convertible hasn't left the garage since I got my JK.

On the upside, the Jeep makes me feel more "outdoorsy" and I ride my mountain bike more than when I had an F150.

Getting a tan from welding on parts you fabricated for the jeep.

I find that when money runs out and you've got your Jeep close to where you're happy, that's the sad spot. I'm wanting more power and bigger axles/deeper gearing...

I love being out wheelin' with the boys...

1. I know that smile!!! every time that I turn the ignition switch it's attacking me!!! but don't worry, I found the cure... it's called "gas pump" kill that smile every time (for a bit)
2. I hear ya! the city is full of the "Snobby Jeepers"... unfortunately

Same here, ever since I got my JK, I stopped driving my 2001 Chevrolet Caviler....
I can hear the Chevi cry at nights sometimes... poor thing...
