Does your significant other hate your Jeep?

[dragoneggs]

My significant other is my Jeep. I have a strict rule that my wife and significant other don't go anywhere together without me. Don't want them sharing notes!

Currently no significant other, so just positive Jeep vibes...no really, all daisies and sunshine...and snow and blizzards. Happiness. Really! ?

My wife doesn't hate the Jeep, she hates that I ordered it and bought it. If it were up to her, I would only drive big full-sized pickups or SUVs with enough seating to fit 3 or more kids in the back plus groceries (soccer mom grocery getters). For about 4 years that is exactly what I drove until my Tacoma I traded in for the Wrangler. I told her that is what we have her minivan for. I don't haul or tow enough to justify the gas expense of a full-sized pickup, I may go to the grocery store 5 times in an entire year, and my driving route is back and forth to work 6 days per week without our 3 kids. I'll take one or two of the kids out once a week on an adventure with dad in the Jeep, but other than that, I am solo 95% of the time. My wife finds zero joy off the pavement.

We used to have a Patriot and our Audi A7. Back before Covid I had to commute to work 125 miles round trip and took the Audi almost all the time. Covid hit and now I have worked from home for 2 years and the wife took over the Audi. This past summer we traded the Patriot in for the Wrangler and now she is the main driver on the Wrangler and I got my Audi back.

We have had some model of Jeep in the garage since before we got married back in 1999.

I guess I did well, her daily is a X3 M and mine is the Jeep. That said we did a Seattle to Moab trip in the Jeep (with the soft top on no less) and had so much fun she was 100% supportive of upgrading it to a '23 with the XR package.

We have a single car garage/driveway, so often times you hop in what ever car is free. Yes she prefers her BMW, but has zero issues driving the Jeep, and sometimes I really enjoy driving her sports car...now if only Jeep introduced a turbo inline 6...that would be something sweet.

We've owned Jeeps forever, so my wife has no problem driving a Jeep. I bought her a 2020 JLUR 2.0T for her vehicle to get around in bad weather, and she loved it. Then one day she goes out in the garage to get a cold bottle of water, and her blue JLUR isn't there anymore. There is a Stingray JLUR XR 392 instead. She came in and asked, "what happened to my Jeep". I replied that I had "upgraded it". And she replied, "ok, whatever". She loves the new one even more.

When I brought it home my wife climbed in and said “this is Bullsh!t, I need running boards, and it’s too Loud!” I got the small Mopar step assist and leave the loud button on. It’s mine too drive—Perfect! ?

2nd 392,
I just ordered $3000 worth of Rockslide Engineering power steps and the skid plates that go with them this morning. An email this afternoon tells me they will show up on UPS tomorrow. That place doesn't mess around.

So, I just texted my wife and told her I ordered something big for her Jeep this morning, and to expect it tomorrow. She replied that she thinks I'm cute. What a gal, she's a keeper.

I drive the 392 on loud mode, she drives in on quiet mode. We're both happy.

@3TV She truly HATED my CJ5, constantly hearing “ get a more comfortable vehicle so we’re not always using My Car” a contributing factor for selling it and getting the 89 Bronco that I Hated! I can finally forgive her, but no power steps and I haven’t told her about the loud button. So we still use “her car” (15 GC) but I don’t hear about it and the Jeep is Mine-Mine-all Mine to drive! ?

She has the same Willys JLU MT but in a different color. Hers is a 22 Sarge, mine is a 23 Earl. Both have the cold weather package and LEDS, and that’s all the extras needed for her. She’s actually a little mad that I have the tow package and she doesn’t ?

My wife takes the jeep when ever she can. last summer she wasnt in the best of moods between being sleep deprived with our at the time 6 month old baby. i happen to have taken the doors off the jeep for the up coming weekend when she came out saying she needed to get out for a bit and relax. threw her the jeep key. Man she was in a much better mood and more understanding why i take the doors off when ever i can. Now she asks when the doors are going to be off again so she can go for a Drive. LOL

My Missus misses the creature comforts of the truck that preceded my Wrangler.
She saw the new Jeep and almost said eep.
My wife knows my life, though, and understood.
Her chappy is happy.

Swirls before pine...

I’m surprised with how much my wife loves our Wrangler. Might have something to do with how thankful she is we didn’t end up with a Gladiator though.

I'm pretty sure deep down my wife hates that my Jeep isn't her Jeep. The Wrangler is her dream vehicle and in the past she's had both a Sport and a Sahara. She loves everything about them... except the ride. As a daily driver it hurt her back too much. When I told her I would like to get a Wrangler she liked the idea. She could ride in it and drive it on occasion so it wouldn't hurt her back. But now that it's here, I think she wishes it was hers.

My wife hates my Jeep and I'm good with it. She thinks we don't have enough room to travel. If she can't take less bags, then she can get rid of the Jaguar FPace.

The Wrangler is actually good for traveling. Today's SUVs are all curvy in the back to give them that sleek look, while the Wranglers are basically 90degrees and allows you to jam a lot of stuff in there.
