How old is everyone?

[GetMuckedUp]

Hey im just wondering how old every1 is. Im fricken 16 years of age, and i am a broke ***. I have no job yet lol. The money i get gets put into my XJ.

[Todd]

I'm 18 and in college, so i'm in the same situation with the money. :rolleyes: Of course all my money still goes for my xj! I just can't wait till next summer to make the big bucks icon_smile_big.gif and then I can really start building her up again!

[Nate Spear]

Todd, you ever gonna try to switch her to a 4x4? Or just keep her as a 2x4? oh ya, and p.s. i'm 18 as well, and I'm real cute too.

[Todd]

lol...naaa I'm already in a relationship, sorry! About the jeep, no i'm just going to keep it 2wd. I hardly go offroad anymore and i don't have time now that im in college. I still go down a few trails ever now and then (and of course hop curbs, ditches, and front yards), but not enough where i would need 4wd. I know many people think it's a waste of money to put all that into 2wd but i'm perfectly happy w/ my current situation and see no reason for change. I would just end up having more problems if i did change it anyway.

[SpyderXJ]

I'm 20, and go to UGA. We're gonna whoop up on Tenn. this weekend. icon_smile_big.gif

[FLAXJ]

Goddam it's a bunch of freaking children on this page! Although, I'm 19 at the University of Florida (who already whipped Tennessee and is gonna embarrass UGA the same way on Nov 2). I know there are other people on this page besides us youngfolk, come on now, we won't make fun of how OLD you are...

[Lubes]

I'm 18 with you guys, ain't it a ***** to get money this young.

[JeepXJ89]

i just turned 17 took me a year to do the lift, tires, system, and other mods. planning to go from a 3 to a 4.5 with 32s

[SpyderXJ]

Hey, FLAXJ, are you talking about the Flordia that got beat by an unranked Mississippi yesterday? icon_smile_big.gif

I know I'm a little off topic, but FLAXJ started me up.

[XJ Fanatic]

i am 17 turnin 18 nov 11th yup vetrans day. and ia m broke to all the money i had went to my exhaust discos and tow hooks.

[BIGDAN112686]

i'm 15 and do all i can to put money in the bank for my upcoming xj. and as of now im broke as hell to, i just put my last into my account. i'm not technically broke, but i've got no money i can use as needed.

[roger]

Well...I'm 23...I graduated college last Jan. I thought once I got out I'd have the money to go buy a jeep and mod her out. Well I got the first part. I bought a used XJ then the college loans came, along with the apt and such and halted any quick plans I had of moding out my jeep. So be forewared all of you young college jeepers.....Dont get in any type of debt till those loans come due..if you have them. If you're lucky enough not to, the more power to you and could you loan me a couple grand with no intrest? icon_smile_big.gif icon_smile_big.gif

[AMCJeep]

[Coondawg]

18, Student at university of south alabama GO USA, no money whatsoever. If anyone has any spare please feel free to send it. Will be moving to Orlando in Jan and eventually attending UCF

[canyonman]

Oh man, this hurts - BAD! Let's just say that it would take 2-3 of you together to equal me.
(well, my age that is!!) Heck, with their regular maintenance, I think that I've got a couple cars that probably got their last oil change before some of you were born. (got to get around to doing those some day!)

Let's just say that next month I have my third major event "over the hill" birthday party. I was a bit young, but I watched the Beetles on the Ed Sullivan show live. Yea, it's depressing, but passing another decade is better than the alternative. Besides, birthday party is a weekend of off-roading in the desert. alternative. I asked my wife for either that or a night with a blond, brunette, and redhead. She figured I could probably handle the off-roading better - good choice, I'd like to see the NEXT decade pass too.

But then again, a guy I've off-roaded with some is in his 80's, and can still put away Bushmills and drink me under the table, and be on the trail at 7:00 the next morning! There IS hope for all of us!

[goodson]

I think I'm probably the youngest on the board here, but hey it's better to start early. I'm 15 and I'm picking up an XJ in June/July. I should have a job by then, and I have some serious plans for it.

[Marcvw79]

[jeepdude]

Well ,I got most of ya beat.I was born in 1965.I have socks older than most of yall.I saw men walk on the moon,live on NBC!At that time,most people hadn't even heard of a 4x4.Jeeps were "army" vehicles.
I'll go now .I gotta take my geritol and go to bed.

[PhatYJ]

[matts96zj]

21 here w/no money of course (the wife just magically makes it dissapear!), so the ZJ will remain stock for a while, don't worry she'll still se some trails on a regular basis!!! graemlins/icon_beerchug.gif

[Nate Spear]

Not as many older people as I thought there would be (older meaning 40's+) I guess it is the newer youngins gettin into the 4x4ing! What if Bill Gates built a Jeep... Bet he couldn't out wheel my XJ!!!... ok ok, he probly could, pretty easily at that.

[brick]

I am 25 and also find it hard to get a hold of money and when i do i spend it on my CJ

Although there are a lot of age differences we all seem to have 1 thing in common with each other apart from Jeeps and that is

MONEY (Lack Off)

ITS A JEEP THING FOR SURE

You cant have both Money and a Jeep (ha ha) icon_smile_big.gif graemlins/laughing.gif graemlins/laughing.gif graemlins/icon_bowdown.gif

24 at the end of this month

[MJMA]

I'm 21, have money sometimes, but it doesn't last long. I go to UMASS-Lowell, but I think I am gonna transfer to Amherst next semester. My jeep is good cause I spend money on it in the summer when I am working and have loot, and then just don't fix anything until summer, if anything goes! Knock on wood. My tranny is out right now, waiting on the seal. Right now I am borrowing the X's XJ. I am amazed at the amount of tire you can lay down with 215's. I usually have to be a little heavy on the gas with my 31's, and like to just chirp em around corners, but if you do that with 215's they roast. Everyone should have a set of 215's.

[EatsnoTJ]

21 in january. J.E.E.P - Just Empty Every Pocket...its ok to be broke owning a jeep, i am too :)

[Cable XJ]

40. Forty. Aauuugh! :(

Everyone should have a set of 215's.I do know what you mean! Before I put on my tires I roasted the poo out of my old ones!! I have it on video tape somewhere... it is just waiting to be uploaded to the net! This could be the biggest Jeep roast known to man kind... you wouldn't be able to imagine it.

[cornholio]

21 over here at UF. XJ is sitting in the driveway waiting for me to get the nss switch all the way on. It sure came off a lot easier. graemlins/icon_banghead.gif Looks like its time to bring out the bike to get me around town. Any of you other UF people wheel around here? Looking for someone to offroad with so I don't have to avoid the big mud holes for fear of getting massively stuck.

[Ryan, aka: CheapXJ.com]

Nate your roast doesn't compare to the one i did.

For ****s and giggles, i welded my old rear (before installing my 44) threw on a set of 225's and headed off to the dragstrip.

I took off the exhaust at the collector and bolted on a straight sidepipe that i made out of scraps (3" muhfuggah)
Backed it up into the bleach box, pulled out, mashed it and let them howl. I felt like John Force icon_smile_big.gif ground one down until it blew up all over the place (the shower of sparks from the belts wis pretty cool), and as soon as it hit the ground, both rear axleshafts snapped simultaneously. (that rear had 4.10 gears too. my fastest run before that run was 15.1 sec)

oh yeah, an i'm 19, in college and i've got money (about 3 bucks) all my extra money has been spent on the XJ, which is sitting about 500 miles away at home.

wonder if my dad is getting sick of signing for boxes full of Jeep parts.

[JEEPJERK]

Wow! I'm amazed how young all you guys are. I'm one of the older generation-37, but i look 27 and act 17.
Now i feel a little ill, I didn't realize i was so old .
