Just sharing, I thought I would start your Monday.... with some humor...

I'm still grasping the idea that so many people like this exist...
Also, makes me wonder about "our" jeep community/base as a whole... is this one of those " one bad apple" senerios or is this more common throughout the jeep community than I realize ?

Atleast according to this ex Mustang driver, Jeeps suck.

Warning... if your like me, I could hardly get through the videos... blonde is cute, but absolutely obnoxious... and the ball cap chika had me at "my wife".

Here is the original article that sparked this off.

There are only 3 rigs that come with solid axles on the market now, the Jeep Wrangle, the Ford Super Duty, and the Ram 2500-5500. That narrows down to one rig if you don't want to drive the largest trucks on the public market. Please leave it alone.

Every other off-road platform save those three have gone to an IFS in attempt to appease Soccer Moms and Mall crawlers about harsh ride and bump steer. Those of us that do want to build a serious off road rig and still have it drivable on the street are extremely limited on choices. And to lose one choice because people cant accept that compromises are made when you make an extremely capable vehicle, that is also durable and relatively cheap and easy to upgrade.

Well said, thank you for your clarification.

Normal people crack me up. "Jeep sucks". No it doesn't, tell me you can't drive without telling me you can't drive. Tell me you don't wheel without telling me you don't wheel. Tell me you don't understand what an enthusiast vehicle is without saying so. tell me you don't understand enthusiast vehicle maintenance without saying so.

Jeep JT/JL is designed to do a handful of things and it does them better than anyone else. Its an offroad machine that is street legal, vs these SUVs and trucks that can go offroad. IDK who TF buy a solid front axle vehicle and expects it to handle like a sports car. Jeep isn't to blame, the average human's entitlement and delusions is. We all buy our Jeeps for a reason. But if you bought just because you thought it was some "cool kids club". Well congrats u played yourself. Jeeps aren't a trend, or a comfortable daily. They are honed offroad machines that can do other things. And if you don't offroad it, you bought the worst midsize pickup on the market. just my two cents. And if you did buy it to look awesome, well being pretty ain't easy, and looking cool ain't cheap. This is a people problem not a Jeep problem.

You lost me at Tiktok.

I don't pay attention to any "influencer." An influencer's opinions are as important to me as the latest comings and goings of the British Royal Family, the Kardashians, and what the guy down the street had for breakfast.

"Finally someone said it" is how the Daily Dot article started. As if there's some global conspiracy of people pretending to like their vehicles just to sucker others in.

Sorry no. Those people on tiktok don't speak for me just as much as I don't speak for them. To write an article assuming the opinions of some speak to the opinions of others is bad journalism, and beyond that's it's just moronic.

Yea it's loud. Yea it's bumpy. Complaining about a jeep being loud is like complaining a miata doesn't have enough cargo space...

Depends who you ask
Just looking at that twit told me everything I need to know. But because I’m a glutton for punishment I went nd tried to read the article. Couldn’t finish as it’s obviously just click bait with a lot of prevaricating and posturing but no actual story other than some twit that bought a Jeep she didn’t like so they all suck and people that own them are either stoopit or lying if they say they enjoy them.
