...you're in an impossible place, (Top of Imogene Pass, somewhere on a slick-rock trail out of Moab Utah, etc.) and you get eyeballed by the usual Wrangler crowd that's there as you drive up. Next comes the inevitable question: ''How'd you get THAT thing up HERE?!?"

- When you even consider modifying your garage door so you can fit in it with a roof rack.

-you, your wife, the kids, all your camping gear and half of your friends camping gear are all in YOUR truck because your friends drive a "real" jeep
-after a day of wheeling with your friends, you are the only one not wearing a parka, gloves, goggles and can drive away refreshed
-a minor fender ding is $1500 to repair
-you can't buy aftermarket parts for YOUR Jeep
-you are the only one of your group that can tow your buddy when he breaks his sh&t!

-your kids and 3 friends can fit in the back, and comfortably.
-you consider drafting on the highway a great way to improve mileage.
-the roof becomes an extension of your trunk (going so far as to purchase a cooler that fits between the roof rails to free up cargo space inside)
-you register your Jeep and find out the last owner had it listed as a Cherokee

If you're rock crawling with the windows up front and rear AC on high kids in back watching a movie wearing the wireless headphones and the wife's surfing the internet in comfort. Not that I've ever done such a thing.

When you're almost 6' tall and still need a 12 foot ladder to clean the top of your vehicle that only has a 2" spacer lift.

When you're 18 month old son is spotting "airpanes" through the skylights while you're driving to work.

I have. Scooby Doo is with us on every wheeling trip. I've got out while on a 45ish incline on a rock surface and visited with others and took photos while my kid sits in the back like she's in a rocket ship watching scooby doo.
On my winter trip, while wheeling at night, my buddy's wife looks at his"roided" Rubicon with no top on and looks back at my wife and kids in the nice heated XK and says "It sure looks warm and comfy in there" with a slight frown.

Also when you go to drop off @ the dealership for some work & they ask "They make off road parts for that?" or "Are you dropping off the wifes jeep today?" My Fav was the Jeep salesman came over when I was haing it looked at and said to me "We have Jeeps that go offroad too, that will be better than the Mall Crawler Jeep)

Keep in mind this was over 2 different occasions when I was there, safe to say I have not been back to them ever again & go to a different jeep dealership. I do not like dealing with people that do not have any faith in their product
