I feel your pain Man.Maybe you could join a Jeep club and get her involved in jeeping .Or just work on it when she's not around.My wife hates the word Jeep or anything about it,except when it is time to go trail riding .Take her out on a romantic picnic and just talk about her and not your Jeep. Good luck[addsig]

I feel you man. My girl loves my Jeep, but sometimes she too feels that I want to spend more time with the TJ then her. It sounds like your situation is worse than mine tough. The cool thing is that my lady wants one of those new Scramblers when they come out 8-)

Craig,

She's just your girlfriend... I suggest you set this straight before the M word or else you can kiss that Jeep goodbye and say hello to Minivan Land.

Sorry dude.

Whats the problem?

Maybe you should act like MAN, you need to look your girl right in the eyes and say sorry :-(
as long as she doesn't make you sell your jeep, or tell you how to modify it you can have both. But once she pipes up and says "maybe you should sell your jeep"or "its to tall for me to get in with a skirt on" or something, Just remind her not to let the door hit her in the ass on her way out!

Well, if you want to buy yourself some time to work on your jeep, then buy your gf something. How about a cool piece of jewelry? It's sort of like your car...jeep starts whining, you buy her something, right? Well, girls start whining, you need to go buy them something. You obviously love your jeep...of course your girlfriend is going to be jealous! So, get out your wallet...it does'nt have to be something extravagant, just enough to show her you at least show the same respect for her as you do for your jeep. If that fails, find a jeep girl (j/k). [addsig]

All you need to do is find here the right jeep. My soon to be wife and I just bought an 04 Grand Cherokee Limited and she loves it. With the V-8 and towing package, it should tow the YJ just fine. Now when I want to spend time, money, etc. on the jeep she is totally coll with it. Just work it to your advantage.

BIG TODD, I have done the impossible!! Where I met Mrs jps4jeep, she did not even know the difference between rear wheel drive and front wheel drive. Over the past 7 years I have molded her into quite the gear head. She wants a tricked out 57 Nomad, fat boy harley, and owns a ZR2 blazer with 32 inchers. oh ya when we met she had a 88 buick, progress. She enjoys wheelin with me, I even have had her help me work on my YJ. It is possible, just time consuming.[addsig]

I tried that one before, "ohhh I don't know how to drive stick" fehh.. sometimes they're a lost cause. Besides the last thing I want on a trail ride is the girlfriend "slow down, the bumps, puddle!" I could go on forever...

This is funny, because my fiancee' hates my jeep. I try to involve him, like helping me install a lift, fog lights, or whatever else.. but he doesn't really care. I've let him drive it on and off road.. and nothing seems to work. He would rather just drive his van. [addsig]
