You know you own a CJ when...

You know you own a CJ when you can hear it calling from across the parking lot at work.

 

[jzak]

when the News is reporting the worst Blizzard or Hurricane for years is coming, and you act like a kid waiting for Christmas!

 

[Hedgehog]

When: a young driver at a light at a stop light catches your eye and him and his partner yell, "Nice, I love it man." Made me smile.

 

[CJAKE7]

the guy at the gas pump with a '15 Rubicon asks you what year it is? You answer his question and ask how the Rubicon handles off road. He responds by saying he doesn't know because he is scared of messing up a $40,000+ vehicle. Then laments about missing his '62 CJ.

There is something about this conversation that I don't understand.........

When you sit in your easy chair following knee surgery thinking to yourself..............."I think I can still get out and work on my Jeep while on crutches".

 

[CJ007]

...you are about to go hunting next week and your brother says some friend of a friend will be there says his Dodge can go anywhere your Jeep will.. and the first thing you think of is that is it's gonna suck having to pull a full size vehicle out

 

[Hedgehog]

When: .... Your neighbor stops asking what you are doing to the jeep, and goes right straight to, "Okay so tell me the story about what's going on with your jeep now."

They seem to think its one job and can't appreciate .... installing a new gas tank requires building a new rear bumper and installing new gearing and a locker all at the same time. Really 4 jobs in one. Or that the front axle needs to be re-geared to match the rear gearing, a Limited slip and disk brakes ... which requires a new brake master cylinder. ............. They just don't seem to get it.

 

[SlowPocono]

...When the road construction traffic flager guy decides to turn the sign to STOP so he can hold up traffic to ask the standard old Jeep questions.

I didn't mind, but I felt sorry for the vehicle drivers behind me.

Haha! That's the reason I got rid of my '09. I wanted to start changing it and didn't want to do it on something I was making payments on and a DD.

...The amount of fluids on the garage floor surpasses the amount of fluids in the Jeep

 

[Posi]

When your mood is connected to how well your CJ is mechanically doing.

 

[JAKS]

You wanna laugh but it actually makes you a little angry when you see the top of the line Warn winch on the waxed up, scratch free, ArmorAll shiney tires JK.

When the parts guy asks what year and you have to think should I say:
1982 Wagoneer 360 engine?
1975 CJ5
1977 front axle
after market seats
GM style MC and single diaphragm booster

When you leave the doors off overnight in the winter (like last night) and have to defrost everything inside because it has more frost Inside than out
