When you look at the floor board , and see the ground.
Hay, Hay, Hay, .......... I don't see the ground when in my Jeep, well except where the holes are.

When you pull into the parking lot at your local bar for meet and greet jeep nite and all the jku and tj drivers walk up and start looking at your jeep and nodding their head in approval and ask you to crank it up......:drool:

When: You find yourself using the term, "I hope" more frequently than most.

- 83 CJ7 350 tbi, TH350, D300 twin sticked & clocked, narrowed Chief D44 Eaton Elocker & Moser shafts, Explorer 8.8 Detroit locker, 410's, RE 4.5" spring lift 1" body lift, 35" Claws, cage tied to frame, Corbeau baja seats, HD tie rod and draglink, u-bolts flipped, custom skid plate and sliders, Warn 9.5ti winch with Amsteel synthetic line
The people at my Auto Zone don't even ask me what it's for anymore,they just ask what part # I need.
I send Vicki quite a bit due to the way I work. She does a great job now since she has a couple years experience.
Ive been going the part number route now as well. Now she tells them what they have in stock. 
NAPA is usually more exspensive around here , and I dont care anymore. Best place to deal with hands down.
Back on track...
When you write your mileage on the fridge so you know when to get gas
And everyone knows not to erase it !!!!!
When you write your mileage on the fridge so you know when to get gas
And everyone knows not to erase it !!!!!
When you hop in your jeep, fire it up, take a big breath, and ask yourself whats gonna go wrong today?.................
Then you exhale , sit back , and enjoy the reason you bought it in the first place.
And it breaks later to give you a reality check.

When your wife complains, "All you ever do is work on that Jeep!" You respond with, "But this will be it for a while." You know "a while" is tomorrow.

You pull up in front your girlfriend’s house and her father says, “How do you ever expect to get a girl to go out with you in that thing?” Then 30 plus years later you still have a CJ, and the girl!
