Yep but mine doesn't even have a "stereo".
 
Wow...Speakers too?
 
when you see this sign in the middle of the road because of a median and immediately think it doesnt apply to you.

When you check under your rig after it has been parked and don't see a puddle and immediately think, awww crap, I'm out of oil.
 
when you'd rather deal with the oil leak than swap the rear main seal, just to have it leak worse.
when you have the cheapest rims available, but your tires cost more than the jeep did(guilty)
when you say "mine's biggeer" and it isn't vulgar.
when your idea of 'performance' exhaust is tearing off the muffler on a rock(also guilty)
when the guys at O'Reilly's and Vatozone know you by name, and you don't have to tell them your phone number for warranties anymore...(yeah, me again)
when you cry while watching "Cash 4 Clunkers" videos like it's ol' yeller or something
when you rip your pants tryin to get your leg high enough to get in your ride.
when you already accept that you're gonna hafta get new mirrors before you even leave for the trail.
your dying words are "hey guys, watch this!", and you're best friend's last words are "man, i can do that, too!"
when you know how to flip your rig back on the wheels without gettin out.
when climbin hills doesn't tire your legs out.
when you wouldn't go to kroger without a socket set and a tow strap, just in case...:D

# 46 You know how to reinforce the windshield frame near the wiper arm

never herd of this.
autozone knows me by "jeep kid" usually in there atleast 3 times a week.
girls go to mall i go to autozone, pepboys, orielys, and 4wheel part stores
 
^^^ #46 should apply to CJ and YJ owners in the salt belt region, the frame around those windshields tends to rot very easy.

Yes i know because Ive been there
