I'm 21, I'm curious to see where I stand on the XJ board age spectrum.

No offense to anyone here, but I think I can speak for the older contingent when I say that being able to drink legally may not have been the best thing. I'd gladly give that part up for the lack of responsibilities and the pure freedom that came with being 18...
Not that beer is bad (hey, I'm not a commie here!) but it can bite, ya know?
Ok. Off of soapbox now. Just Say No campaign officially over...

i may only be 22 but i agree somewhat with wedge, i dont want to be 18-19 again i had more trouble and responsibilties then, then i do now, well untill school starts...oh yeah i start monday to be an auto tech, so i wont be able to be on line much after that, but i still plan on wheeling as much as i can...i just got done replacing my front pass. wheel bearing for the seacond time, my tip to you guys who havent done this and to the ones who will be doing this, spend the extra cash and get an oem one from the dealer...andy

Oh, totally!! So would I!! It's just that now, after being an "adult" you have to accept it. I think that you become legal drinking age at the same time so that you can cope with what you have to face. Either that or it's just a crummy compromise that life gives you.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

Good point! Personally, I worked as a service advisor to finish college. (Bought my first YJ employee purchase...wasn't real financially smart back then, but hey, it was a JEEP!) I should have skipped school for a couple of years, saved up some money, and really done it right.

I was off-roading when I was 13, nothing beats taking grandpa's old John Deer through the swamps...I'm 18 now , got my jeeps a long time ago, but now I actually own them. Not to mention I know more than what I really want to, because it's not what I want to know. I adopted this new philosophy(how ever it's spelled) ...If it don't fit take it off, if it don't work, get rid of it, ain't broke , it will be in a minute, don't know what it is , break it and find out later !!
