Bought a new Jeep for my nephew!

[Tellurian]

In an attempt to assert favorite uncle dominance, I recently bought my nephew a new Jeep for his birthday... his 4th birthday! Had a blast putting it together with my father the day before the birthday celebration. My nephew loves it and now has a real keen eye for spotting Wranglers when out-and-about with his parents. He shouts out, "I see a Jeep!".

Can't wait for the next time I visit them and get the chance to drive him around in my JLUR so he can actually experience Jeepers waving back at him.

Perhaps this is the start of another off-roading enthusiast...

My uncles were never that cool.

Well done.

I really want one of my siblings or close friends to have kids so I can be that cool uncle... Except, most of them don’t want me to show them the cool stuff we use to do and I never stopped, only I do it cooler, bigger and better now.

Congrats on being the cool uncle, hopefully this will be the start of many upcoming memories.

I hope so too! Maybe after a year he and my brother will let me start making mods to it: bigger tires, better battery, less chrome, and functional lighting.

Awesome! Might have to spring for the Lego Wrangler next. I have mine in my office.

Being Grandpa ain’t bad, either! Keep on building those memories, Cool Uncle!

Haha! Great minds… I’m already looking at LEGOs and Hot Wheels sets for future gift opportunities.

Ain’t bad at all! In fact, his cool grandpa still trumps my cool uncle-ness.

I am with you on the cool grandpa dude.

Nice! What's up with the emergency light bar below the windshield? Volunteer of some type?

Even the kids version Wrangler looks better than the new Bronco!

well done Cool Uncle

No, it’s a normal light bar I bought while waiting for my own Jeep build in 2020. When I took this photo this summer I was in the middle of converting over to amber lenses and started on the ends. There are 8 super tiny (easily strip-able) hex screws per lens and I couldn’t be bothered to finish it before the birthday party and ended up taking the light bar off.

Funny enough, now that it’s off, I’m thinking that I will sell it because I have not once needed to use them and I like the look of the Jeep without it.

File it under one of those things before owning a Jeep that I thought was cool, but now after 1.5 years and zero use, I realize it’s not something I want/need.

The little Jeep looks like it has a 392 hood!

Coolest Uncle ever!
