How long have you owned your TJ?

- Start date
Roughly 2 years now. Of course before that I owned a number of XJs for about 8 years.
I bought my original 1997 TJ May 1996. I'd still have it if it hadn't been stolen 7 years ago which is when I acquired my present '04 TJ. I bought my first Jeep, a Cherokee, in 1989.
Almost a month
Several years ago I had a 95 XJ, lifted, locked, geared, etc.

When I was a kid the only 4x4s I saw were Jeeps. I always wanted one. So I bought my first project Jeep back in 1980, a '47 Willys pickup with a flat head Ford conversion. It was someone else's project that never got finished by him or me.
The second one I bought was a '73 CJ 5 with 304 v8. I traded it for a 78 Ford 4x4 pickup.
The next one I had was a 97 SE 4 cyl 5 speed. My wife was a rural mail delivery lady and couldn't get the hang of shifting and clutching from the pasenger seat so it got traded in on a Explorer with an auto.
Then I found a good deal on a manufacturer buy back 04 sport. Then I went through the mid life thing and traded it for a Caliber SRT4.
Then still wanting a Jeep I found a 93 Cherokee that I sold last year when I found my favorite one that I plan to keep for a long time.

Had the '03 TJ X for 5 years before having to part in 2011. I've had the '06 LJ Rubi for exactly a month as of yesterday and loving it!
First TJ - 2 years
Current LJ - 1 year
Before that I owned numerous XJs for a span of about 8 years.

About 9 months or so.
I'de like to see what yours looks like at the 1yr marker from the first day pic.
Oddly enough, I haven't taken any yet! That's something I really need to do. I've been so busy with everything else, I keep asking myself where all the time goes!
Wait until those babies get a bit older if you think you are busy now.
Will not count previous versions of jeeps. This TJ (LJ) I bought new in 05 and will keep until I die. I told my wife it is to be my coffin!
