Where do I start?
Basically, they are completely unlike anything else on or off the road. The do-it-all, go anywhere in any weather vehicle. Easy to drive, maneuver and park. You can take the top down like many other convertibles, but how many other convertibles can you take the doors off of AND not just enjoy looking at the hills and streams, but engage 4wd and drive right into them?
They were born to serve this country and have done so with distinction. I dare say that their military history is unsurpassed by any other wheeled vehicle. Period.
Jeeps now hold the record for longest production run of any automobile without a major design change. By that, I mean you can park a 1941 right next to a 2011 and without question recognize them as the same basic vehicle. That speaks volumes.
You can use them for anything from grocery-getting to rock crawling. On road, off road. Top on, top off. Doors on, doors off. Versatility is the word.
As mentioned before, Jeepers are all family. Before I go further, do not confuse a Jeeper with a Jeep owner....there is a BIG difference. A Jeeper always waves to other Jeepers, never leaves another Jeeper stranded and engages in conversation with complete "stranger" Jeepers. Much like a fraternity. A Jeep owner is just that...a regular person who simply happens to own a Jeep.
If I had to sum up Jeeps in one word, it would be Freedom. The cool thing is, most of the freedoms I enjoy in and with my Jeep are owed to jeeps of the past.......the jeeps that helped move our troops and materiel to win wars to protect our freedom.
