Great Thread!. My wife names her current and former cars.

Fugly: Ford Conversion Van (It was F'ing Ugly)
Mini: Mazda 5 Van
Subi: Subaru Forrester
Rubi: Her name for my TJ (She thinks she was being original.)

Great post, you truly appreciate your vehicles and their history.I've never outgrown that feeling of climbing behind the wheel of an old vehicle (the older, the better) and sitting there, pondering what it was like when it was driven off the showroom floor and into the driveway of its new owner. Was it someone's pride and joy? A longtime goal finally reached? Or was it just transportation to them, and nothing more? Some of my vehicles hit me with that way more than others. My '58 Edsel Citation 2-door hardtop..."Marilyn"...was one such vehicle. I'd sit in that car for a half an hour at a time, just sitting there like some love-smitten kid, thinking about what she must've been like in her heyday. LOL Yeah, I guess even an Edsel had a "heyday" at some point in time. Well, maybe...

I definitely bond with 'em. Doing all my own work on them helps with that, I'm sure.
Mine is called zombicon
I bought the stickers to match the colors of the other stickers, so it looks as factory as possible. I was pretty meticulous putting the stickers on. I have more than once been asked if that is a real thing? Like is "zombicon" a real package. I always tell them yes, and it came with a fold down Gatling gun in the back.

Don't you hate when the previous owners part out the OEM Gatling gun?!?! Those things are as hard to find as the Mopar Rock Crawler bumpers and AEV parts!
Windows are tinted haha. They usually laugh it off, and go on with their days. It is fun!Did they look in the back??
Since I am from the South I went back & forth with the good ole boy names Cledus & Jimbo. Being a Star Wars nut I went with Cledus Skywalker also known as Darth Jimbo. Cledus for short.

View attachment 49226The LJ is a beach buggy and surf fishing rig so “ Bent Rods”seemed fitting.
Is your name Rod? If not, should I point out the grammatical error on the hood?
My girls have named all the vehicles. and they all need to rhyme for some reason. They call the TJ Jake the Jeep. I simply cure a blue stream when working on Jake, but we are beginning to come to an understanding these days. well now that he has a rebuilt head, all new engine accessories, new fenders, front suspension elements, new axles, brakes, brake lines, cooling fan,soft top, stereo...well need I say more about Jake?

I thought 1997 was the first year for the coil spring TJ, I googled it and according to Jeep.com I am correct.
The TJ era was 97-06. All had coil springs.

Yeah man I was reading some site that someone posted a link on here about the history of Jeeps and it was really good but unfortunately I suffer from CRS.
Our first named Jeep is our 64CJ5 "Eeyore", he is slow and blue. Then came our '01 TJ Wrangler Sport "Tigger", he is Amber Fire Pearl Coat. Our rescued Jeep is a 1952 M-38 with Pinto power. He is "Popeye the Coast Guard Jeep". Our youngest son is a Chief in the US Coast Guard.
