Growing up my parents never had any Jeeps but many of our family and friends had them. The earliest one I remember was my uncle's Honcho pickup and his steady ownership of YJ, TJ and JK Wranglers that followed. My dad's friend and his wife had matching XJ Cherokees, and a friend at church bought a TJ Wrangler in 2000 or so. Riding with him top down on camping trips got me really interested in Jeeps.
As an adult I really considered a Jeep each time I was vehicle shopping. The first one when I returned from my first Deployment was a 1998 Jeep Cherokee but the owner sold it before I could get a look at it. Then when it was time to replace the Dakota I drove a Hemi Commander that I really liked (Don't remember why we didn't get it) and we drove a JK Wrangler with the 3.8, but couldn't find one in 4x4 that I could afford...
This time around it was the higher prices of the new Ram 1500s that drove me to get the JL I am driving now. I do miss having a big truck at times, but I do really like driving my Jeep. No regrets on this purchase.
