We all do it so.... What's the name you have given your Jeep?
I call mine Martha. Traditional, but there's a reason.
What about the rest of you?

Lol.... I've never quite gotten the "naming" of one's vehicle. It just feels contrived.
Now, lots of guys I've wheeled with over the years have nicknamed their rigs, but usually it's more a description of the actual vehicle. I.e. - "the beater,"mall-crawler," "McNuts (due to the color scheme), etc.
Only women call their vehicle a name like it's a person, in my experience.

the jeep is called Sno_Blynd. mainly because when i stumbled across it, it was in the snow and i literally walked into it because i was snow blind.
the truck is called the jakyl because ive got it black a purple like the bird the grackle
and my escort is known as betsy. named by my mom because it looks like a cow.
