My little one wanted a tour of the underneath of the KJ today, so my wife snapped a few shots

At least you take the time to explain things to him, identify parts, etc. Many fathers do not spend quality time with their children, which is sad. Being a teacher, I see too many students starving for attention. :cry:

Great to see him down there helping instead in front of a TV or video game.

BTW, love the color of your KJ!

The all black ones are over rated!!! :lol:

That's really great you spending time with him like that. My littlest one finished her Army service (2nd hitch) last year and gave me a grandson. They grow up so fast, it's enough to make your head spin!
These are times to treasure.

I couldn't agree more.

And it's even more amazing when one of your daughter's takes an interest in what you're doing under there. :lol:

Great pics. Hey, what kind of rocker skids are those?

Lift too?

LIV42DY · **Posted:** Sun May 03, 2009 12:32 pm

He loves it, it all started about 2 weeks past, H e wanted to drive it, I started to to sit him on my lap, and slowly let him take control of the steering, ( I have a deserted lot close by) he started to get the hang of going Left and Right, then he pointed to a pile of rocks and asked " Daddy can we go there? so I said maybe when you get a bit older. Hes my only boy so Im going to do what I can to teach him as much as possible.
Thanks for all the positeve comments.

Very cool. I have 2 daughters but one follows me around constantly and loves to go for rights in "daddy's Jeep". She even points out Jeeps on the road and she's not even 3 yet. I like explaining things to her, so we'll see if I can learn enough about cars before she's too old to care...

Good stuff.

My youngest just got his drivers permit and is ready to wheel his TJ already. Time flys and you gotta take time to teach them about the cool stuff like Jeeping and how to fix whats broke. I so wish I had a Jeep back when they were younger.

That's awesome. I wish my Dad had a Jeep when I was kid. :lol:

Oh my, man i'm getting old.

The first time I let my son (about 3 at the time) in my CJ, he asked if this was where his car seat goes, pointing to back seat.
