You know you own a CJ when...

[hondo]

All I have is a bikini top and half doors. as long as your moving you relly don't get that wet

i found that being stopped wasn't to bad. it was when i was moving at 5-10mph and the tires were slinging water in on me that was annoying.

and you reach up and push on the bikini top and dump water on the wife...lol She was less than amused, I thought it was hilarious.

i am by myself 99% of the time. no one wants to ride with me. especially when its raining. don't know why

1. When you read this whole thread.
2. Twice
3. When you read the only three comments of the whole thread to your wife that she will understand.
4. The ones about choosing her or the jeep...

My wife loves to ride, especially with the doors off and the bikini top on.

When.... you know your going to get dirty just getting in for a ride to the store :driving:

 

[gr8dain]

When you are going out for lunch with coworkers and you offer to drive and everyone passes on the offer.

When: your concrete driveway turns an nice rusty red from the rusty grinding dust left behind after one continuous jeep project.

Been there on my asphalt driveway. The wife has made snarky comments about it. But the oil spots the degrade the asphalt don't bather her. Now that it is in the garage she complains about the mess on that floor. I can't win.

that's why I like having a man-barn/shop with a gravel drive.

When: you marvel at the speed at which Wranglers and their brethren pass you on the highway. I know my CJ is better ... I jut know it ... well maybe sometimes anyways.

remember "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" and cj's are the king of smooth. let them zoom and smile knowing you have a real jeep.

 

[Busted Knuckles]

Your CJ has been parked, engineless for 21 years, you've acquired 5 powertrains in the meantime all ear marked for the CJ, and still cant make up your mind which to use... but "feel" it should have an AMC in it, even though that is what you yanked out of it in disgust !

Is that called confliction, confusion, ambivalence, or just old fashioned indecision ? I can NOT make up my "......." mind !

AND…….. When it comes to the cool factor, a CJ wins every time, PERIOD!!

 

[Hedgehog]

When: you stop at a perfect strangers house with a CJ in the drive, just to talk CJ, and the guy doesn't find it odd. .......and, ohhh I know my CJ's cool.

 

[johnnyreb]

you wander around the parts store and when they ask if you need help, you say no it's for a jeep.

You know you own a CJ when

you want to test an instrument cluster you know you shouldn't have purchased....

.... and you connect a wire to the housing so you can ground the cluster



and then you hook up the fuel sending unit terminal, the ignition terminal and the temp sending unit terminal to discover the gauges actually work

So after you get back into the living room to disconnect the ridiculous wire you

very seriously,

for like 45 long seconds,

wonder if you should not ground only one corner of the housing, but all four corners and the two bolts that secure the guts to the housing because


(wait for it)

"six grounds must be better than four..."

The more grounds the better is the motto for my Jeep!

You go to work knowing you would rather spend 12 hrs working on your Jeep.

Your local Jeep club is in a parade and you are following a very well built JKU and you keep hearing "there is a real Jeep" and "this one is the best one yet" and they are referring to you. It was a good day representing the CJs
