It's a Jeep thing... 🪿

We have a few Jeep Enthusiasts here on the Forums, so this is a place to discuss and show off our machines!

Show off your Jeeps. Vintage or new, stock or modified, 2-wheel drive or 4x4, ducked or not.

Let's see where you take them: the beach, the mountains, the desert, the gas station. 😂

Show off your Mods, or tell us what your plans are. We can swap ideas, advice, issues, and solutions.

I'll kick this off with my 2025 Wrangler in '41 green. I have added a roof rack, cargo shelf, window racks inside and out, and pink accents from the logo decal to hood latches and tailgate hinges.

This was my jeep from the 1980's. I thought the build quality was a bit plasticky. Very economical to run though!

A wise man once said don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes, that way when you judge him you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

My cousin had a red one. Not sure of model or year but it wasn't very old. Had a 6 which sounded awesome.

I had a 4-cylinder, 2-wheel-drive Patriot for many years. I paid it off before my move to Colorado. It was great on gas mileage, but had no ground clearance, so not so great on the back roads.

This time, I got the 6-cylinder and Trail Rated clearance. I had to add the rock slide bars to protect the body below the doors. But it has the power I need now.

I just took mine to the gas station today... $85 to fill it up.

I have a trail rated grand Cherokee. I've driven it though a water crossing.

So vital in WW II were Jeeps, and other military vehicles.

Thanks to all veterans. . .
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I do love a Jeep! 😀

The only one I ever drove was an Army one in Germany. One of the sergeants in my platoon won the jeep rodeo every single year. He taught me that the trick to backing up with a trailer was to put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and forget the whole "steer left to make the trailer go right" thing. You just move your hand the way you want the trailer to go.

At the American car breakfast meet this morning, also went to help my mate and his missis gave us a lift back in a brand new jeep Calypso. Fully electric or hybrid, I didnt ask but it went okay.

@davina61

Other than a little wear on the pedals, that Army Jeep looks mint. Even the shovel and axe! That is awesome.

@Devlyn

Is this him testing the suspension system? 🤣

Hello, VA? I'd like to file a service-connected disability claim.

VA: There is no evidence that your massive internal bleeding and multiple fractures are related to your military service.
