Jeep names: What are your names and how did you decide?

In had a 95 YJ that I did a frame off restoration. I painted that with two light coats of yellow over a white primer. It came out a very nice (if I do say so myself) highlighter yellow. My daughter took one look and said it looked like a yellowjacket and it was badass enough to have a Stinger. Well this Rubi is a lot more badass than the YJ so it inherited the title.
BTW. When we bought the 95 I also had a 91. The 95 had a 6 inch lift and rode on 35s. The 91 was almost stock - in appearance and only had a. 1 1/2 inch lift on 31s. So the 95 was Big Jeep and you might have guessed it the 91 was Little Jeep.

My Mom calls my Jeep my Lego because of the removable top and doors. My girlfriend calls it my moving washing machine. Lol "its bouncy, and not smooth at all". I wouldn't change anything about my Jeep

Exactly what size tires are on your Jeep and exactly what air pressure is in them? Most tire shops are clueless what air pressure to inflate tires to and commonly grossly overinflate them. That gives uneven tire wear, reduced traction, and the rough bouncy ride your girlfriend complains about.My girlfriend calls it my moving washing machine. Lol "its bouncy, and not smooth at all".

Rough Country shocks add to that

Only misinformed buy Rough Country lol. I showed a friend who wanted to buy it what happens to most of their kits, sagging, control arms break in half and everything else they are famous for. Well, he bought them anyways and 2 months later. He is now replacing his kit with a Rubicon Express kit.Rough Country shocks add to that

That's an appropriate tire pressure, good job on the chalk test. Few people do the chalk test correctly, most end up severely underinflating their tires using that method.
Hey Jerry I need to redo mine. It's -24 degrees outside right now how do I adjust?
My recommendation is to leave the Jeep parked until it is over 60 degrees. For now, my suggestion is a hot buttered rum or similar.
But just in case, cold reduces tire pressure so you need to up the pressure up. And a fully aired-up tire cuts down through up through a couple inches of snow on a paved road better to the pavement below for better traction.
Money Pit.
Why? Endless dollar-sucking black hole that I can't stop driving and buying things for, yet can't be without.

Jerry, sir, I have been curious. I've seen you on two other forums; do you mainly stick to this forum now? Or do you go back and forth between each of them?
I can't imagine you have the patience to stay on top of all 3 (or more!) forums!?
