You Look at vehicles in the parking lot and wonder how well their parts would fit your YJ.


You get funny looks from others when you struggle to get out of your heep (broken driver door).

You have to scrape the insides and outsides of your windshield on a cold morning.

You dont remember what your side mirrors look like.

...when your parking spot has more oil in it than your oil pan
...passenger asks 'theres smoke coming from underneath and under the hood, is that bad?' and you reply with 'no thats normal!'
...it stalls every time you come to a stop
...you get asked by dumb tj owners 'why are your headlights square?':laugh:
... when your friend can reach over and take the key out while your driving down the road, not shutting it off, and you have to say 'hey dont loose that incase i want to lock my doors!'
...when your guages are a broad estimate

You're the guy at every drive-through who has to open the door to get your food because the window zipper is jammed and you're pretty sure that if you unzip it, it will never zip up again...

You really hate those TJ/JK Rubicon owners because they drove off the dealership lot with half of the equipment that you have spent years installing and affording.

You don't have to worry about being accused of talking on the cell phone while going down the highway, because everyone you try to call says it sounds like you are riding out a hurricane in a cheap Walmart tent.

Your neighbors look at you in horror and amazement when they see you in the driveway hammering the living crap out of something under your Jeep.

-middle of the night, you hear rain, your top/doors off...back to sleep you go

-when in the odd instance you pass someone on the road in a YJ, they take pesonally and pass you right back.

-Your a master break-cheaker

-every time you turn the key, you say a lil prayer to start up.

-TJ guys stare

-rev your engine when next to a rice burner at a stop light

haha, my ignition was busted, and when I turn it I crossed my fingers to have it turn over. Neat thing was I didn't need a key to start it.

You know you own a YJ when;

you curse your vehicle and swear it's a peice of junk, but could never bear to let go of it.

actual convorsation

Me - c'mon start you peice of (expletive). When it runs it runs great, but it's usually a coin flip

Her - why don't you just sell it and get a new one?

Me -sell the jeep? no way, i love this thing. I'm gonna drive it till it dies.

and I did. I broke the frame and parted it out. :brickwall

Your kids try and look cool by jumping out the back when you drop them off at school, only to have them hit their head on the cage, trip on the lip, and fall on their face in front of their friends.

You combat a rust monster every time you go under the Jeep.
Roll for initiative!

You know you drive a yj when...

  • You have discovered you don't need a top, just a variety of hats.
  • You never have to drive on group outings because it's too windy/noisy/bumpy/exhausty.
  • Your true gas mileage is a closely guarded secret-- especially from your wife and/or girlfriend.
  • You can't explain how you can have so much fun driving so very slow.

especially when you are the only single guy on the street and have 4 days off around the holidays and you are under the Jeep welding or grinding to all hours of the night etc even on xmas.

You spend more time researching and repairing the YJ then driving it.

It's raining out and you casually look over to the passenger with a grin and put the one and only hat you have on in the Jeep.

Your tools are worth more than your Jeep.

You mod it ...because you can.

You can drop the windshield and do just for the bug… cool factor.

You can hit things with your jeep and not cause any damage to the jeep but plenty to the things you hit.

You worry about smaller cars pulling in front of you because you know you have to run them over centered so as not to flip.

Smaller cars on the street are another reason for not running a sway bar.

heres a true one...

you know you drive a YJ when youre out for a ride back the trails and the girls in your buddys TJ hop out and ask if they can ride with you ;)

...when the puddles are larger inside your vehicle than the street.

...when like a sniper, you have to adjust for windage while driving.

...when you're not bias 'cause you've got something from just about every automaker on the jeep somewhere.

...when you've never had to do a 3 point turnaround.

...when you can get something out of the back without turning around in your seat.
