You know you own a CJ when...

You know you own a CJ when...
When: you routinely carry enough tools to perform a major over haul on the side of the road or back woods trail.
 
.... you're just minding your own business, gulping water in the parking lot of a service station and three - not one, not two, but three - drivers of three different pick ups ask you if need a hand (as in a battery jump, a tow or a wrecking ball)."with that" ( as they gesture toward your CJ).

I just smiled and said "I'm good, thanks!" to all three, but I was thinking, "Just because it's older than you don't make it unreliable."

When you never want to see this threat die..............
 
When a cutting wheel breaks while removing body mounts, resulting in 12 stitches and the purchase of a full face shield. (I was wearing eye protection though)

Sorry to hear about this grad8dain, and good tip on the face shield. I've been wearing one for years, besides cutting and grinding it works well to keep rust chips out of your eyes while working under the CJ. I found with safety glasses the chips roll under and still get into my eyes.
 
WOW...so sorry, but glad you're okay. I'll definitely have one myself...
 
OUCH! HOLLY deviated septum batman! I hope all turns out well with the potential scaring.

When you finish removing the CJ's body mounts before going to the emergency room to get a measly 12 stiches across your nose.
 
I'm never working without a face shield again. I'm glad you're ok, dude.
 
Today @ 12:43pm

When your HOA calls and says, "You have got to get that Jeep out of your driveway!" And You answer, "I'm sorry, but I can't hear a thing you are saying."
 
When you pull into a parking lot next to a $50K BMW and the guy getting into it looks at your CJ and says "Cool".
 
... when you catch yourself being miffed because - in the 21st century - it's no longer "normal" to change a belt in about 2 minutes with one ratchet, one combo wrench and no whining.
 
At every stop light the guy next to you asks how old it is then reply's with "that's awesome".
Even got it from a motorcycle cop this past weekend!

When you finish a project on your Jeep and you say that you are done for awhile only to find out you want to do something else within 5 minutes of driving it.
 
While at a stoplight from a 3rd floor porch you here "Cool , the tires really fit the wheel wells on that Jeep. Cj huh? Very nice. "

Happened to me this morning, except it was a guy driving a very large dump truck.[emoji106]
 
When: A lawyer co worker with a Wrangler with lots of very well thought out aftermarket parts comments, "I'm the one with the boring run of the mill factory made add on parts, your the one with the very cool well thought out additions that you made yourself. I really like looking at your stuff and finding something unexpected." He does have a nice Wrangler and I tried to tell him that, but he insisted, "No, yours is the really cool Jeep." I let him get away with putting his Wrangler in the same family with a CJ.
