When you don't drive it to work for a couple of weeks and everyone at work asks to buy it.

When you are glad to pay $550 for a 15 year old winch, just because it belongs on a CJ.

...this is the only way you've ever known to heat heavy whipping cream, enough to melt - but not burn - your four cheese blend, a bit of garlic and parmesan into a semi-liquid pasta sauce.
.. and your friends see it and mutter "He really is a death-trap driving redneck... never heard of a double boiler."
.. and you say, "What's a double boiler?" And then, over their snickering, "No! Seriously! What is it?"

When you're spending hours looking up photos and videos of CJ's on the internet, like a teenage kid trying to find porn.

This was me 3 weeks ago except it was the window with the broken zipper on the soft door...going 65, holding my window shut, with cars racing past on either side, getting blown around by high winds.
That was exciting.
Nobody looked at me like i was cool.[emoji19]

Or when driving down the crowded highway/DC beltway and you have to lean over, grab the passenger soft door and pull it shut after it decided to pop open at 65 mph.

The only way Hedgehog would be considered HOT was if I was on Fire...... In reality I'm sure I looked like a crazy man, but looked calm and cool all the while.
Funny, last week it happened AGAIN in almost the same spot. It was the other strap this time. The other one has been held in place with a strap and vice grip. With both broken I finally got my act together and replaced the straps with Nice lime green ratchet straps. One end bolted to the top, the other through the footman loop. Works great and isn't going to break any time soon.

Yep, been there. My kid likes to play in jeep and he never latches the door right.
You know you drive a CJ when you can reach every corner from the driver seat.

LOL!!
Just had that happen to me yesterday. Sometimes owning a CJ is like being Indiana Jones, trying to fix it by crawling around the outside at 65mph, while Nazis are trying to run you over. .

Been there done that, glad you are here, you are a real jeeper my friend.
No fear just close the darned door and while you are at it, grab that plastic bag floating around in the jeep. That's probably more of a bikini top thing though.

Was making a sharp right turn at about 25mph when my metal 1/2 door popped open. I wasn't worried about falling out because the belt had me tight, luckily nobody was coming the other way as I grabbed it and slammed it shut

Yep. I have caught bags, napkins, receipts, whatever. I have gotten pretty good at securing things in the jeep.

From time to time I've been convinced I was getting good at securing things, then a bag opens up in the back, dumping the contents, then the free bag goes for a circle ride around the driver and passenger seat. What gets me is the look of disgust on the face of other drivers when I loose the battle and a bag or napkin escapes into the environment. They never really know the valiant battle to save the world from random litter that just took place.

Yeah it's not hard thinking what they are really thinking
