Since we’ve been married, my husband and I have owned 5 Jeeps (3 Wranglers and 2 Grand Cherokees). And when we’re not driving our own Jeep, we’re usually renting one (a 4x4 Wrangler on vacation). We keep a Jeep Bucket List of places that we’d like to go next, and we're always crossing more states off our list of 'Places That We’ve Jeeped in the USA'. As our daily driver, we keep the soft top on our Jeep Wrangler year round (and the back window permanently rolled up) so the dogs can enjoy the ride. Yep... even in the winter! I've been sharing my best Jeep ideas with others by blogging full-time since 1998. When I’m not Jeeping or writing about Jeeps, you'll find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).

It's no secret that Jim & I love Jeep Wranglers. But Wranglers certainly aren't the only Jeeps worth driving, in our opinion. For most of our married life together, we have owned at least one Jeep. Usually a Wrangler... but there for awhile, the Jeep Grand Cherokee was our vehicle of choice.

The bizarre story of how we acquired our 2004 Jeep TJ Unlimited. It's a review of sorts... but much more than that. Do you name your vehicles? See why we named this Jeep 'AJ'...

For years, Jim has been the Jeep lover in our family. For the most part, I've been the quiet Jeep passenger -- both on-road and off. But who knew, that I would become a future owner of a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited? And an almost new one at that?!

A photo essay detailing the step-by-step process of removing the hard top from a Jeep Wrangler on the first warm day of Spring. Plus, some great tips for how to do it yourself with a Jeep hard top hoist.

Jim has wanted a Jeep Wrangler for years. But, his desire to own this fun convertible had rapidly progressed from a "want" to a "whine" in recent months. Much the same way we used to shout "Slug Bug!" as...

The Jeep Wrangler is a lifestyle changer! A Wrangler gives you the ability to express yourself, and allows you the freedom to drive anywhere you want to drive. It's the ultimate 'go anywhere, do anything' vehicle. But it's not for everyone...

Photos of our 2 Jeep Wranglers and our new Jeep Grand Cherokee. This was the day I said goodbye to my Isuzu Rodeo and I said hello to my new Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's the 3rd Jeep in our 2-adult household. Yes, we love Jeeps!
