Keep these awesome pictures coming, you can already tell that these kids are a reflection of their parents, and they love their jeeps (and wrenching on them!) as much as their parents. LIKE A BOSS!!!


x2....love seeing this, hope my kids enjoy jeeps....wouldn't it be terrible when I have them they turn into tuner people....

I'd rather they be doing a tuner car than sitting in front of a TV all day. Tuners can be pretty nice in all honesty. It's when it turns into rice that it's a problem. A well done tuner still gets my respect as a gearhead. It may not be my type of vehicle, but I can still appreciate the work put into it.

There has to be some respect for a 450+hp 1.8 liter engine. Even if you don't like the packaging the power plant is impressive.

Here is my awesome boy. All he wants to do is either drive his Jeep or pretend to drive mine. And his dog friend.
