Obsessive Jeep Disorder

Passion… or Full-Blown Obsession?

When I bought my Jeep back in 2013, I had no idea what I was signing myself up for. I thought I was just purchasing a vehicle maybe a fun, rugged one but still just a vehicle.

I didn’t realize I was adopting a lifestyle...
…catching an addiction…
…and unintentionally joining a cult-like family of Jeep fanatics.

Within months, the transformation began.
Within a year, I understood the meaning of:
“ It's a Jeep thing —you wouldn’t understand.”
And by year seven?
Yeah… I understood all of it. The passion hits fast, and it fills your soul in a way no normal car ever could.

My Jeep Life is my Passion

Jeep Life: When Passion Turns Into Obsession

Jeepers get it.
Non-Jeepers don’t.

We love our Jeeps.
Our Jeeps make us happy.
Our Jeeps become part of the family sometimes the favorite member.

For many of us, a Jeep didn’t just change our commute…
It changed our life.

So the real question is…

Do YOU Have Obsessive Jeep Disorder?

(If you’re reading this, the answer is probably yes.)

Top 10 Signs You Have Obsessive Jeep Disorder

1. You see the UPS driver more than your friends.

He knows your name. He knows your dog’s name. He knows your Jeep’s name.

2. You have Jeep catalogs in the bathroom for “serious reading.”

Forget magazines. You’re studying lift kits.

3. You think about your Jeep even when you’re not driving it.

Normal people miss their kids. You miss your Jeep.

4. You park next to any Jeep you see—no matter how far the walk.

You’re basically forming a Jeep meet-up in the Target parking lot.

5. You have more pictures of your Jeep on your phone than your kids or pet.

And your Jeep always looks good.

6. You constantly check the garage or window to make sure your Jeep is okay.

Just a little peek… or twelve.

7. You buy Jeep parts for no reason. Serious mods? Cute accessories? Doesn't matter.

You need your Jeep fix.

8. You ask restaurant hostesses for a window seat so you can watch your Jeep.

Security cameras? Not needed. You are the security camera.

9. You get irrationally angry when your Jeep wave isn’t returned.

How dare they?

10. You’d sell your kids’ Legos to buy more Jeep parts.

(New axles > tiny plastic bricks.)

If one or more of these hit home…
Congratulations—you officially have Obsessive Jeep Disorder.

And yes, your non-Jeep friends may think you need therapy.
But that’s because they don’t understand…

It’s a Jeep Thing.
It’s a lifestyle.
It’s who we are.

The Jeep Family: Where the “Disorder” Makes Sense

The beauty of Jeep life is that you’re never alone.
You are part of a massive, supportive, slightly-crazy-but-wonderful Jeep family.

Your Jeep friends will:

• Encourage your parts-buying addiction

• Validate your anger over an unreturned Jeep wave

• Check in on your Jeep when you’re out of town

• Give you their old parts (like true heroes)

• Tell you, “Yes, you DO need that new mod”

• And yes… maybe even suggest buying another Jeep

These are your people.
Your tribe.
Your Jeep therapy group.

My Jeep Friends who understand

Own Your Jeep Life Proudly

Do not let the negative Nellies shame you.
Do not hide your decals, your mods, or your growing pile of Amazon boxes.
Hold your head high when you pull into family gatherings doors off, top down, Jeep shining like the star it is.

Take that Jeep up a mountain.
Through deserts.
Across backroads and small towns.
Let it take you places you never imagined.

Because you’re not crazy.
You’re a Jeeper.
And honestly?

You’re living your best life.

All us Jeepers get that saying. We say it a lot to our non-Jeep friends and family. We love our Jeeps. Our Jeeps make us happy. Our Jeeps are like a part of the family. For some of us… our Jeep has changed our life.
