This spoofs early 70’s ad copy.

What is this man they call a “TJ man” ? He’s a rare breed , a man among men. He never runs with the crowd ..they are usually up their running 75-80 mph, and he can’t chance it.

He walks into an establishment , and people take note. Women want his attention, and every man wants to make his acquaintance . His blood has the faint smell of gear oil.

He has his own style , one belt loop missing from the door strike, grease under his nails, and a look that says “ bring it on “ ....although to some , that same look says “ felon” .

He’s a man that won’t drive an ordinary vehicle , some boring heap that starts every time , doesn’t rust , and keeps water on the outside.

He’s an honest man. When his wife calls him at work and asked what the packages are the ups driver just delivered , he tells the truth: “ Something for you, it’s a surprise, don’t open it “ and let’s it go at that.

He’s efficient, blowing his nose with one finger over a nostril . He gets the job done .

If you are reading this , you likely are such a man.....we want to hear from you , Tell us what makes you.....a TJ man.
 
I once drove my TJ for two weeks with a bad ignition switch actuator and having to start it every time by opening the hood and jumping the starter relay with a pair of needle nose pliers; I didn't once complain.

A TJ man/woman starts his/her Jeep in public, the engine makes noises that would worry most, but he/she just smiles, and drives away.

I knew this form was full of such legendary men.
 
My Tj was a prop to propose to my wife.

"The jeep won't crank over again. Can you turn the key while I hit the starter?"

Little did she know I had pulled the starter relay and was just tapping the skid plate. I was already on bended knee with the ring in hand when she got out and walked around the jeep.

You sir , are a TJ man.

That is the most romantic thing I've ever heard.

Like I always say " there is just something women love about a TJ man"
 
I would say I smell more like PB blaster and fluid film with the occasional hint of gear oil
...a TJ man it's not afraid to be original.

His pheremones are so strong , his scent alone can alter marriage statistics.
