Exactly what is Jeepness? Jeepness is hard to describe. Its a feeling only Jeep owners understand. It's that feeling you get when you are out on a warm summer's night with the top down. It's that feeling you get on a stormy day doing things that Jeeps do. It's the feeling you get when you finish putting on that new suspension. Jeepness is the journey, not the destination. Its a state of mind and its different for everyone. We can't really tell you what Jeepness is for you but you'll know it when you feel it.
When you get a Jeep you will get the need to make it more you. A stereo here, a Dana 60 there, whatever it takes to make it yours. There's only ONE Jeep because they're ALL different.
When you are out running trails with other Jeepers, the least built up Jeep will always be called the "stock jeep." This is particularly true of any Jeep without driveline mod's (ie. Lockers). It is nothing personal so don't get so snippy.

"We" would be referring to Kristen Richard and Jae. Kristen is the primary driver as long as there's pavement underneath. When we hit the trails Kristen steps into the passenger seat and becomes the navigator, spotter and beer drinker. I think her drinking is so she can stand my driving, although she denies it. Me, I'm stuck with Diet Coke until the day's over. I take care of the driving, maintenance, and trail repairs as well as any general dirtiness. And that leaves Jae. Jae is our 4 legged child. She's a pound puppy, part Pitbull, part Ridgeback, but mostly tongue and tail. If you see us on the trail, she'll bark at you, but only because she can't wave. She's a seasoned trail vet, and she is quick to point out any wildlife around.
