I know the feeling. I bought my son his first car and came home one day to find him working on it. He had the whole console out to install a burned out bulb. Nothing huge but a great start.
My 11 yr old and I have been working on our new (old) YJ. A couple days ago we removed the track bars, he enjoyed sitting under the jeep to help. He kept looking at how dirty is hands got.
I did my starter a couple months ago, took me more time and energy to find the external torx sockets at the hardware store than anything else.
My YJ is my first vehicle i've owned, it just feels good to do things yourself.

I liked that it seemed like they would be extremely hard to strip the head of, but they're impractical compared to regular bolts.
I don't mind the hardware on the hardtop, it doesn't seem to me like i'd apply enough pressure to the bolts to strip them, but putting regular heads on there would make sense.. less tools needed.
Same here..... mine has an old white XJ but he has no fear of doing any repair and is honestly way more mechanically inclined than me.... and he is 20. But what is with these kids and the no shoes? I dont think I have seen my kid in shoes since he graduated high school? SMDH
