Well, my first jeep was called Mud Dauber it was an old CJ5 we used when I
was a kid on the farm. We used it for snow plowing, running the fields,
getting groceries, fishing. We called Mud Dauber because it did not have
floor boards and you always got covered in mud.



The first jeep I owned was a 76 CJ7 and I called her Buoy Butt it was a
Coast Guard thing.



My son and I restored his first jeep a 79 CJ7 about 10 years ago he named it
Crystal after his girl friend now his wife. I painted it British Racing
green and it really looked sharp and it was the only color of that type for
3 counties. Then a new water tower was built in our town and they painted
it the same color as his jeep so I started calling it Water Tower he was
pissed.



My 04 TJ is called Damn The Bad Luck, it seems no matter where I go I pull
some one out of a ditch, give them a jump, watch others sit in mud up to
their axles, or others just do stupid stuff and I kept saying Damn The Bad
Luck, well it stuck.



My wife's 04 WJ is called Goldie because of the color.

That's pretty cool. Let me guess, they're both blue ? ;ŹD

Both of our rigs are white. I like that, they look good in the driveway that
way.

Good stories Coasty, thanks!
Maybe that's the problem I am having with this one, not enough shared
experiences to find the perfect name yet.

I especially like the water tower story.
