Age?
42 years old --- still feelin' like I'm 30. Wife keeps me young

What do you do?
That depends ... I am one of those jack-of-all-trades-master-at-none. Currently, I'm an ER nurse. I have done everything from heavy equipment mechanic, repos :shock:

, line installer, factory work making oem rims, up to my current job as a nurse. Wife gets most of the benefit from all this.

How much did I pay for my libby?
I paid 24K after trade, discounts/incentives, and negotiations for my Black Sport with tow pkg, skid plates (didn't come from factory that way so dealer bought parts and installed), and sunroof.

Additional info?
Just itching to go mildly 4-wheelin'

. I am new to the 4x4 scene (1st one actually) and wife is sooooooo afraid of damaging this daily driver in the field. Wanting to take her to one of the jeepskools so she can learn it is not that bad. Just waiting for it to fit into our schedule.

I'm a "Sr. Technology Specialist" for a telecommunications company, and a weekend warrior (South Dakota Army National Guard - Intelligence Analyst).

How much did I pay for my libby?
Sigh. Too much unfortunately. It was around 24k, sport, command-trac II, and just the regular schtuffs. It was kind of a last second needed a vehicle right now because the grand cherokee crapped out on me.

Additional info?
Well I recently moved to South Dakota, and there's not a lot of trails out here in east river. Unfortunately, I'm leaving this January for some training, getting back in June, getting hitched fall '09, and deploying to Afghanistan January '10. Basically means I don't have a whole lot of time to play with my Jeep until I get back.

What do you do?
I'm a Protection and Control Engineer (trainee) for the utility company. I just graduated from university with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.

How much did I pay?
I'm actually leasing the Jeep for two years. It seemed like the best option at the time. I really like it, despite the teething problems I've had with it, so I'll likely buy it out at the end of the lease. The lease payments are based on about $32,000 (Canadian), for the North Edition I have. I also put Mopar skid pates on it, as well as a front tow hook and after-market trailer hitch.

Additional info?
I was really impressed with the stock Jeep's capability offroad. I got caught up in a rut because of the bad way I approached a tight turn, but the front tow hook and a Cherokee in front sorted me out. The choice of black for body colour was probably not the best for hiding pin stripes from twigs and such offroad, but at least it shows I've given the offroad scene a try. All in all, I love it.

Wow! this thread is catching on and it looks like its a good one for the forum
Sad to hear that Pierocksmysocks: I guess it sucks to know that youll be leaving soon..... My only suggestion to you would be: Try to relax and enjoy your time TODAY (present) with friends and family.... its these memories that will help you in your journey
