I guessed I missed this one. Great thread!
I'm Harry. TC to most folks here. I'm a dad with 4 kids (2 boys, 2 girls, ages between 18 mos and 8 yrs), but all the neighbors' kids are here all the time and I should be able to claim them on my taxes. My wife, Leigh, is the light of my life and I honestly don't know how the heck she keeps the gears turning in this family and house but she is the greatest. I had a rough upbringing - I'll spare the details, but although I have family, I pretty much raised myself from age 13. I am living a life today that I thought I never would, and it is nothing short of miraculous. Props to the big man upstairs for seeing me through!
Born in New England, lived on the Cape till I was 11yrs. I still miss the Cape. Now I'm a Baltimoron. Hay hon! Welcome ta Bawlmer hon!
I have worked as a lineman (elec. power lines) for most of my life, and now am working for Verizon. It is practically retirement lol compared to the back breaking work I did previously. I love baseball, avidly follow the Orioles. Coach little league and keep a glove, bat, and ball in my Jeep year round ('cause ya never know). I've had 3 Jeeps (still got 2 of them), I used to wheel my old Toyota 4x4 ('86), but am a devout Jeep man now. I'm a recreational SCUBA diver, I hunt, I fish, I'm a college dropout, and I have a dog (mutt really) named Bobbi. My 8 yr old kicks my tail at playstation 2 but I keep trying.
Years ago I was a heavy concert-goer, and have a shoebox full of ticket stubs. I used to see Buffett every year, but it has been a while. I keep the CD's in the Jeep though.
"The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains, I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer!"
Update:
6 kids now, and we have moved north to PA. The above mentioned 8 yr old is now 11 and he still kicks my butt at playstation, but I still rule the foosball table
Life is still a miracle!

I'm Charlie White. I am 54 years young. I live in Englewood, Colorado (probably one of the very best states to wheel in). My first 4WD vehicle was a 2 wheel mountain bike. I rode it (and continue to - I cross train on it). My first 4WD vehicle with a motivator (that doesn't huff and puff like I do) was (and is) a Ford Ranger 4X4. I still use it both as a daily driver and as a back country vehicle. Then I got the Mighty YJ! A 1993 YJ never taken off road until I took it off road. Then came the lift, the Goodrich TA/KOs, the winch, the roll cage, the first upgraded axles, the Ford 8.8 rear axle, the SYE, the custom drive shaft, the second winch (burned the first one up), and the list goes on. I figure that If I hadn't gotten the Jeep I could've retired on time.
My degree is in computer science. I am an administrator for a commercial janitorial firm. We like to say that we really clean up in our business, The company cleans approximately 25 million square feet a night.
I haven't had many jobs but the jobs that I have had were all meaningful except, of course, for the ones that weren't.
I am also into running now. I've run a 5K and a half-marathon. I have 2 more half-marathons scheduled for later this year.
I do trail rides almost every weekend. I generally drive up the trail, have a friend drive down while I run it.
How's that for a waste of good rubber?

Re-reading this thread, I checked the profiles of some of the "old timers" here who we never seem to see anymore. It's amazing how many have been here recently...
Show yourself folks! Say hello. Give us an update on life in your world. Post a pic of the rig (or lack thereof)... something!!!

Wow... Time for an update. I'm now 20 (21 in November), broken up with Elyse after 2.5 years, dating a wonderful girl named Kristin, sold my BMX bike, and am at VaTech for Mech. Engineering. I hunt and fish when I'm up at school, and I still have a knack for anything mechanical. I also surf as much as possible, I've been known to make the 5 hour trip home from school to drive another 3 hours from home to catch some surf.

Allrighty then.
I'm Bruce. And I hate cats!!
Ok.. on a serious note
I am married to a wonderful woman named Dawn, for 14 years, she does x-rays and MRI's at a hospital in Manhattan. We have two beautiful daughters, Jillian and Baylee, 14 and 11. I am a native Kansan but after highschool (1984) I moved to Kansas City, MO where I worked as a printer (flexograph and off-set) for 15 years. The company I worked for went belly up so I decided to try something different.I have always had a love for The Big Dumptrucks (Cats, Utes,etc.) so I got a job at a rock quarry-land fill driving one. Damn, what a thrill!! Mine was a 1997? 785 Cat. That baby could haul 150 ton, had a Captains Chair air ride seat, computerized instrument panel, am fm casette and tilt steering! WOOO HOOO! But we decided to move back to Kansas so my dumptruck is no more.
I worked 5 years there, and loved every minute! Since there is nothing like that around where we live, I am now learning to be an electrician for a company in Manhattan. I really do love my current career, but I do miss them trucks!Ihave always had a love for Jeeps, also. I have owned a 1981 CJ-5, a 1987 Commanche, 1979 J-10pu, and a 1975 CJ-5. My current ride is a 1998 TJ.
Jill (my 14year old) thinks that she will be able to drive it to high school for her sports and other events. Well... we'll see.
As far as hating cats... we have 3 of them, a dog and a pregnant heifer named Daisy! Life is good! :lol:

Let's see... What's different... Let's talk physical...
I'm now 24 years of age. My hair has gone from being spiked to worn in a ponytail down past my shoulders. I ended up having to get glasses about a year ago, things just started to go out of focus... My back is getting worse, but there are more good days than bad. This is good
Life events...
My Jeep was paid off in May of this year. Hard to believe I bought it over 5 years ago with 23,000 miles on it... It now has 118,400. After working in the foodservice industry since I was 16, I finally became stressed out enough by poor management to leave it... I tried one last time for the City job that I have been working seasonally for the last 5 years, applied for 3 years ago, and didn't get it, under very unscrupulous circumstances. Out of 100 applications, and in a failing economy, I got the job. Full time equipment operator 1 for the City of Madison Heights Department of Public Services, Streets and Facilities division (the new combination of Streets, Parks, and Building Maintanance) I could not be happier. I love my job. I love it every day I go to work. I can pursue cooking now as a hobby I enjoy, instead of a job that I hate, and I do, very often... I also am the proud owner of a Michigan Commercial Drivers License (Group B)... I get to drive dumptrucks and things of that nature, not tractor trailers, or buses, but pretty much anything else. I plan to get my bus and tanker endorsement in the future.
I've got a house now, renting till the spring, then buying outright, pictures soon. I'm in the south end of Madison Heights, in a peaceful neighborhood where kids play up and down the street, and my neighbors say "hello", in the once proud Madison School District. I say once proud, the South end went through a nasty donward trend over the last 20 years, which it is making a total recovery from, and said school district will hopefully be out of deficit by the end of the next school year... I went to the Lamphere school district, in the North end, and hated every minute of it... The pretentious, holier than thou attitude of "we have money" was so ill-placed, it was ridiculous... In a city that is 2 miles by 4 miles, there really isn't a "rich" side of town... My brother and sister were fed up, and went to Madison... Watching a kid in danger of flunking out of high school now in college, and a girl who was a total social outcast being given a chance, and getting to show what a kind person she really is, that impressed me, which had a lot to do with me moving into the "poor" side of town with the "bad" school district... If that's what poor and bad get me, I'll take it, and the half-rate taxes too
Still writing, my novel and play concepts have been a bit stalled by a nasty touch of writers block. Writing music, poems, and lengthy LiveJournal entries, playing my drums, my baritone, my keyboard, and singing like nobody's listening whenever the mood strikes me. I still love my dear state of Michigan more than anything, even though she's hurting bad right now...
And on a final note, one of my very favorite pieces of music is the Chorale and Shaker Dance by John Zdechlik... The Madison High School Symphonic Band (consisting of about 20 people or so) played this at my brother's graduation... Where I had my graduation, dress rehearsed three times, at a college auditorium in another county, they had theirs on the football field of the school that they attended for 4 years... They did an amazing job of it, spot on, this version doesn't do the song justice http://www-camil.music.uiuc.edu/musedex/mccormick/Chorale&ShakerDance.html
The school thing is a strong note with me, I like to stay well informed and well involved in the things that I believe in... Apathy is not an option. The attitude of "whatever" is not an option, and it's the thing that I hate most. You may not be able to change the world, but if you truly believe in something, then believe in it, fight for it, support it, even if by doing nothing other than NOT saying "whatever", and just letting it be.
Oh yeah, I'm proudly Irish-Scottish, and Native American... Life is great, and keeps getting better. Always remember, live to love, love to live, and exceed the old standards.

Re: Little Known Fats about Jeepz Members
Hey everybody! Just joined and just bought my 07, Sahara about a month ago.
I live in Birmingham AL. Grew up on a farm and drove my first Jeep when I was about 8, loved them ever since!
So far I have not gotten her dirty, figured I would make my first payment before getting off road!
No upgrades yet. Just stock but did get the 18" tires and the tow package.
Love the forum.

Okay.. here goes.
My real name is Janine.
I was born in a small fishing village in the south of France. My pop was the village sign painter and my mother operated a small cafe and sold her oil paintings in the garden beside the shop. Okay! Okay! I'm lying. :-| You caught me. Actually I was born a sharecroppers daughter.. ALL RIGHT!ALL RIGHT!! I was born to a tire maker at Firestone. My mom was a switchboard operator. There, I said it. I'm just a regular Jane.
I am an an artist/mother/wife/part-time (psycho)logist/psychic/exotic dancer/telephone operator. Not necessarily in that particular order.urple:
I have 2 delightful children, okay, one delightful and the other half-delightful on some days.
I have a hubby, yes, for a long time I have had this hubby.. a LONG time... GOD! It's been LOOOONNNNG.
Some days I think I am certifiably insane but only on those days when I have sudden outbursts of uncontrolable laughter. :lol:
I live in a hauted house.
I am a confessed Ebay addict.. where else can you purchase someone elses toe nails? (I didn't buy them.. I was outbid at the last minute by a "sniper". HA HA HA!
I once cooked two strips of bacon that came out fused together in the perfect shape of Sasquatch. NO JOKE. I have the pics to prove it. IF you are all nice , one day I may post them for your viewing pleasure.
I am artsy-fartsy. I paint anything that isn't moving and on ocassion things that may be moving or did move at one time. I just painted inside the public library.. very nice! I painted for what seemed like weeks....they had an "appreciation" dinner for all the volunteers... we both took off work to attend...only to find out once we got there SURPRISE! They changed the night and no one told me... GOD! It's great to be appreciated!urple:
I pay for the people behind me in line at McDonalds drive thru. Great GREAT FUN! Try it sometime if you never have... it's a real good feeling. Especially if you do a really smokey burnout out of there and throw rocks up onto their car.. it's the best! I'm kidding. For real though, it's really cool.
I hate sports.
I saw a UFO once time... freaked me out really bad. I actually stopped in traffic and crawled out my window to look at it... weird.
I have a Bichon Frise.
I had a parrot for 20 years.. go it as a kid. She screamed incessantly. I had to get rid of her. I didn't kill her, she was taken to a very nice organization called the Bailey Foundation. She never spoke a damn word in 20 years.. the day after she was gone, she started talking!! I swear!! Rumor has it she was overheard saying this (spoken with parrot accent) "Braaaachhhttt! Thank you GOD! Braaachhhtt! 20 years, 20 years... CRAZY woman.. CRAZY...Braachhhttt!HELP! HELP! SSSHHHTTT! MFGD! BRRRRAAACHHHTTT!!!"
That was the cliff notes version and I swear it's all true, true, true. She really did start talking.. talk about feeling like a real turd in the bowl of life....WOW.
Don't call me Ma'am. EVER. Not if you wanna continue breathing air. The day I shuffle my feet and carry a sweaty tissue in my hand 24/7, THEN and only THEN may you call Ma'am.
I am interested in anything strange.
I go off the beaten path and sometimes set up camp.
I love love love to dance. I won 2 contest at **** Clark's American Bandstand a few years ago and won a trip to Punta Cana!! Great fun.
I am interested in Reiki... studying that.
I am tatooed, Redheaded, green eyed, IQ of 143, witty, charming, and don't tick me off, please.
I love frogs. I have a froggy friend that I call Russel, with one "L".
Okay, I think that is enough. A girl shouldn't reveal too much. You have to leave something to the imagination. HA! :lol:
I almost forgot! I have a Jeep, too! A 2000 Sahara/off road virgin. ( the Jeep, I mean.)
And, as always, Thank you for shopping our Kmart.
Oh GOD! Did you see up there earlier in my post here when they bleeped out the name D. I. C. K.? Cripes, it's the guy who had the New Year's Rockin Eve on every stinkin' New Years EVE! I wasn't saying anything naughty..I got a chuckle out of that. I was censored... wouldn't be the first time and I would bet my sweet... paycheck, yea that's it, that it won't be the last.

I do this occasionally, but rarely ever use the drive-thru (they #@&% you at the drive-thru!!). When I have done it, it's been for either cops behind me or soldiers/veterans. I've also paid for soldiers and veterans meals in fine restaurants before. That's a lot of fun, especially when they don't know you've done it and they leave before you do. It's really cool when you can sit across the room and watch the looks on their faces when their server tells them there is no bill to pay! 8)
McDonald's makes some bichin' fries, too! Mmmmm!

Well I've been on the thread a while, don't talk much, but read A LOT!! But anyways I'm in Hutchinson Kansas going to college where I'll transfer to K-State (GO KATS!!) for Mechanical Engineering. I'm originally from Utah and Wyoming and now I live in Kansas where there is basically no place to wheel accept mud, which I'm not too fond of.

Well, if this had not been first on the list today, I would have completely missed it!
OK, my name is Felipe Rabat... Well, JUAN Felipe Rabat, but I never use the Juan. I was born and raised in Panama (the one in Central America, not FL!), but finished my high-schooling in Front Royal, VA. I then went to college in Baltimore, MD, and fell in love with that city; it is REALLY nice (I wish there were landscapes here in Miami like the ones in MD; not only nice to look at, but also cool to go wheeling!).
I then moved back to Panama, and met the most wonderful girl to ever walk this planet. We started going out the very same day after we met, and after 4 years of dating, we decided to bump it up a notch, and got married. We have been happily married for 6 years... Mostly happy, anyway! LOL!
I have worked for many big companies (Exxon, Gillette, and now Sony), and I was recently transfered to Miami, FL to oversee marketing activities for Latin America. I travel A LOT, but still enjoy my job very much.
I bought my first Jeep when I moved to Miami (about a year ago), and it was a '94 YJ 4Banger. I have REALLY enjoyed fiddling with it for the past few months, and have done all kinds of cool stuff to it (lift, SYE, changed all kind of dookickies, etc.), but I still got a long list of stuff I need to change/add/install.
Since my plan is to eventually move back to Panama, I plan to build this Jeep and get it set up propperly over the few years I intend to stay here, so that once back at home, I will have a dedicated trail rig to go out on the weekends.
