I’m just curious ….

I’ll start….

I’m 35 years old and a full time Mobile DJ (for over 16 years).

I am 46 with a Computer Science degree (and 25 yrs electronics experience) working on detection and surveillance systems for the U.S. Navy.

34 year old - married, no kids.
Computer programmer, gamer (PC/XBox) and avid off-roader (been 'wheeling for 11 years).

I don't like extreme wheeling (costs too much, all my 4x4s are daily drivers), but admire people who do all/most of the work on their own vehicles. I'm a decent shade-tree mechanic.

I've had (and wheeled them all!):
1986 Jeep Commanche (MJ) [horrible 2.8L V-6]
1993 Jeep Wrangler S (YJ)
1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport (TJ)
1996 AM General Hummer (H1)
2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (TJ)

29 year old Network Manager for a railroad services company. The Jeep is really my wife's (Angie) as she's always wanted one. I'm a sports car guy. I sold my Z06 Corvette in May of last year and trying my hardest not to go buy a new C6 Corvette. We've been married 11 years with no kids.

Gamer as well. I've got almost every console going back 20 years in my collection and also have a full size original Donkey Kong game in my office. These days I play on XBox and PC mainly.

Before the Jeep we didn't even change our own oil...now we do it all. So far everything on the Rubi was done by us with some help on the main lift by friends.

Hey Dustin, are you on XBox Live? My GamerTag is NetJunkie there too.

21, College Student (Biology Education Major), I live with my girlfriend.

I take work as I find it, right now I work in the school cafeteria, want to go back to construction, but the hours I have now work for me.
Something worth mentioning due to my age raising the possible eyebrow; I saved/invested money for the better part of my life and paid cash for my jeep. :D

I'm a caver. Wild caves only, I don't get anything out of the concrete walk way stuff, if I can fit my shoulders through a hole in the ground, odds are I'll try to crawl in it (fortunatly for me MO is the cave state).
I'm also into mountain biking.
White water canoeing is also really cool but requires I drive to Arkansas for anything worth doing.
I love to camp, but I stick to national forests rather than camp sites; I don't see much point in driving to the wilderness to get irritated by the guy next door. :D

33. Married. 1st child due Oct 30. Ex-army ranger, C 3/75th. Oh yeah, and Mod Kitty eats on my porch.

I calibrate and maintain online gas chromatographs, NIR analyzers, pH & concentration azrs & nitrates azrs for a large nylon plant. We make tire yarn for certain tires, carpet fiber for your house, nylon for injection-molded parts in vehicles, adipic acid (the tangy taste in skittles) and a bunch of other stuff.

A couple of years ago I decided to go back to school to get a degree in English Writing. Want me to autograph anything before that first best seller? (hint: you've got plenty of time for that one! :D)

Hobbies include jeeping, sea kayaking (not since the hurricane!), writing, geocaching, and watching Mod Kitty stalk Soundguy's new pet mouse, Daisy. :lildevil:

Former loves: '84 fullsize blazer on 33s, '84 straight-axle 4runner on 33s. '02 Sahara. Now, only have eyes for my '03 Rubi...on 33s.
