Funny thing is that I had to talk her into it. Now, however, she loves the attention it gets, and informs me that even if she wears it out, I will be rebuilding it.

great, you will never get a chance to build YOUR TJ!Funny thing is that I had to talk her into it. Now, however, she loves the attention it gets, and informs me that even if she wears it out, I will be rebuilding it.

And my first actual Jeep was an 84 grand wagoneer, completely rusted out but fun to drive and cheap back in the 90's.
Ahh that classic 80's AMC style.

I’m late to the game and just bought my first Jeep last week. It’s a 2000 TJ with the 2.5L and a 5spd.
OP
I'd totally count the Eagle! Always thought those were cool. I'd still like an old Waggie for a DD.

Not my first Jeep but the one that I missed the most which made me want another.
Tugging at my heart strings. My first Jeep was a ‘46 CJ2A. It was a mountain goat. I lived in NJ at the time and they were building I78 near my house. I would take her out on the construction area and have a blast climbing the dirt hills and freshly cut dirt road that became the free way. Thanks for sharing. I would post pictures but my ex wife probably burned them.

First jeep was a 2010 JKU Sahara with rubi axles. Someone decided to use the back of my jeep to stop their car instead of the brakes when traffic slowed on the highway. I was down to about 30kph and they were doing 100-120kph when they hit.
The body shop came back and said I need a new frame and a new tub... I got a chque.
I then found my LJ for sale and used the money from the jk to buy and build it.

that sir is one beautiful jeep! I've always loved antique vehicles.
Ok, hopefully I'm posting this in the right thread. Although I didn't own it, this was the jeep that got me hooked. It is my sister's 1988 AMC Wrangler 2.5L (all stock). She still owns it. Had to replace the tranny and main seal this year, but otherwise its been fine. It is amazing it has survived in the land of rock salt in New York State. I have many fond memories of driving it on country roads in upstate NY.

Love this! I am so wanting to go this route on my next Jeep. Figured I can then get a comfy pickup truck to tow it to and from the trails. This is my buddy Greg’s Frankenstein Willy’s, and it’s what got me wanting one. I got to try it on for size at Turkey Bay a few years back.

I had a 89 YJ, but I can't find a pic of it. It was ok, but did not compare to the CJ.
I've been wanting anothe jeep for a while, but having a camper, I needed a truck. About 6 months ago my wonderful wife started pointing out Jeeps, and hinting I should get another one. My son is 15, and she thought it would be good for us to tinker with. After looking for a coup,e of months, I found what I wanted about 3 weeks ago and bought a 2002 TJ, 4.0 manual with the Dana 44 in the rear. It's too clean, I don't thinks it's ever been off the pavement, but that will change.
I would trade my TJ for the right CJ. And that one there would qualify!
