Kent if she learns to love it it means for Mods and maybe a second rig.

I agree with John... if shes needs accsories for running or new mtb gloves for riding in the jeep She gets em no question asked.

My wife goes with the flow. She could care less. Wheeling is not her thing to much but she comes along and camps. She knows it's expensive and doesn't ask to many questions.

Advice, eh don't have any. Either they like your hobby or not. There is the always involve them more in things with the jeep and they may have a better appreciation.

Mine actually likes it and the kids do too. I just make rookie mistakes sometimes. I'll act like we don't have a lot of extra money, then ask about a trailer. Dumb

I'm not sure I have any advice for you Kent. 

My wife likes the jeep and likes to ride in it but does not like to trail ride or rock crawl....she never comes on our rides which is ok with me and its ok with her.  She does complain about it being hard to get in as well and that I should get a "step" for it.  I have not overcome that request but I have managed to ignore it for quite a few years.  I am pretty sure she knows she is not getting the "step".

I do know for a fact that my wife is sick of hearing me talk about selling my jeep to get an LJ.  She is also sick of hearing my complain about why a a person named "John" @jd30005 won't trade jeeps with me.

As with John....my wife doesn't complain about what I do or spend on the jeep and, in turn, I don't complain about what she wants to do as far as a vacation or stuff around the house.  Check that...I don't complain to her.  I may vent a little to others as we discuss world issues at Taco Mac but that is promised to be held a secret.

Good advice Doug.

Kent, buy your wife a convertible with a bad ass stereo.  Worked for me

I'm happy to say no Wife vs Jeep here.  She doesn't really care much for off roading as you have probably figured out since she has never been on a ride.  When we were in Michigan she did like to hit the sand dunes.  When we first moved to Georgia we did a FS ride starting up on Nimblwell Gap.  Ended up riding bumpy roads for about 4 hours and she hated it (I did too).  Bouncing around with no place to go pee, so that kind of turned her off.  She now keeps saying she wants to go on a day trip some time to one of the parks but I will be surprised if she does.

She doesn't like riding in it with the doors off but don't drive it on the street much anyway.  About the only time we use the Jeep together is to the pool and back in the summer.

With all that said she doesn't really care to much what I do to it.  She doesn't mind me going on the trips without her.  She takes several trips a year with her girlfriends so it works out.  She has a thing for expensive purses so I support that out of the Jeep fund and I don't ask what's in the box's that UPS leaves at the front door  .

My girlfriend just wants me to finish my LJ so we can go riding again. She also wants to get an RzR but I told her no, I will break it.
I knew I had found a keeper when on the 1st  4x4 trip together she said quit being a pussy and give it some gas. LMAO.

My wife has no desire to go wheeling, and I have no desire to go shopping with her. She also has a gardening hobby that i assist with, so she cant get mad when i spend on my jeep. We both think the others hobby is a money pit.
