Just turned 30.. I suppose however, that you're only as old as you feel.. So in that case, I'm 17!! My JK is a DD.. Kills me on gas, but I love it anyway!!

I'm 28 and my 08 JK is a daily driver for sure. I couldn't imagine driving to work in the summer without the top down...or for that matter, driving anywhere during a blizzard in the winter would be not nearly as fun or possible without my JK.

Good thread.
48, married with 4 kids. First JK and now has 1200 miles on a 2010 unlimited (6-speed manual). Looking to mod at some point, but nervous that I will regret.

We have a minivan (wife), Dodge Ram 3500 (hauling horses+some DD) and the JK.

The 17 yo boy and 16 yo girl are always bartering with me to drive the JK. Everyone loves it and is a DD for someone in the family. 17 yo boy loves the go anywhere versatility. 16 yo girl thinks it is cool/cute. I like it because it is fun to drive. We love stripping it down and taking the doors off. Wife thinks she looks younger in it.

It has everything we need.

Is JK for all ages?

Yes

Well my wife thinks JKs are for kids in their teens and twenties and are just toys!

Ussually the word thinks after wife especially involved with the word jeep is an oxymoron lol...J/K.. get it JK. my Senior instructor pilots wife drives one and loves it, there are few females on the forum have your wife talk to them...

Can a JK be comfortable enough to be a daily Driver?

Yes, but after you modify it, it depends. i drive mine daily, so does pretty much everyone else around here

Does JKs appeal to all ages?

yes

How old are you and which JK do you drive?

27, 2007 Unlimited 4 door, i have to have a 4 door vehicle.

49 and this is my first Jeep (Ok, "wrangler") in about 14 years. Before that there was a series of CJ's ranging from 1949 - 1980. I used to able to do just about anything to a CJ, but this is a whole new ballgame. The mods are more expensive but I love driving around with the top off - I still get that same feeling when I did when I was 15.

Oh well, can't fight mother nature. You either love 'em, or you don't.

im 29 and the wife is 27. both have them as DDs. both modded somewhat. when we have kids in a couple years, we will sell hers and get an SUV, probably. mine should be paid off by then and we will keep it as a weekend warrior vehicle and i will get something with 4 doors.

DD. Going to drive it as long as the wheels turn.
First Jeep, puts a smile to my face every time I get in.
23. Single. Unlimited Rubicon.
I usually see older people driving Jeeps, 3 out of 4.

I'm 32 now, was 30 years old when I bought my '07 Sahara Unlimited back in the fall of 2006. But I still own my '77 CJ5 that I got when I graduated high school.

My JK is my daily driver and my CJ has been in peices in the garage since 1999 when I left for my first overseas assignment.
