Dumbest Mods on the Market

[brsnow2585]

I had a 2500 Ram with air bags in the rear . Also @RustysOffroad-Scott makes a rear triangulation system that utilizes airbags which intrigues me . What I hesitate on is real world proven success with that set up off road . From what I could tell there system uses a sorta scissor effect .I think i looked at em a couple weeks ago on their site but really would have loved to see pics of it on a Gladiator for reference purposes.

I think we're thinking along the same lines, you'd have to have something besides the traditional hard springs, shocks and single track bar to keep the axle centered. They do a multi link suspension on the Baja racers for kinda the same reason because of how tall/long of coilovers shocks and springs they use to keep the axle under the chassis. Disclaimer, not a racer, ^^ layman talk

"Hi everyone! I'd just like to take a moment *deep inhale* to welcome "insert cringiest name ever for the crappiest used base model with star wars stickers you've ever seen" to the family!!"

They always have to say "I'd like to take a moment..." in their Facebook posts like their post on a closed Facebook group is from a podium during a symposium.

"My Jeep is named Slimer!". **Black Jeep with lime green peel n stick everything with a tacky dripping font style hood decal**

And the black paint looks like it's been washed its entire life with a dirty pair of jeans and no soap. Also, the tires are bald. Because they always are.

LMAO. Im dead!.

And since were on the subject (oh so accurate!). The names, 90% of the time are so unoriginal anyways. Like how many damn "Maximus or Spartacus" jeeps are out there? Nobody has ever thought of that.

That's hilarious! I wanted to add a laughing reaction. How do you post a laughing emote because all I see is a thumps up icon?

Ducks aren't mods. But I still don't understand everyone's hatred of them. Its a damn rubber duck.

leveling kits...

They help the front get over rocks and obstacles off-road that otherwise would be in the way.

It's not the ducks. It's the validation-seeking tragic adults that make them matter so much. The trail badges are nearly on the same level.

Likely a new Jeeper.

Lost the ducks long ago, but I am a slight badge junky I must admit. Definitely has gave me more intiative to go places Id likely wouldnt have before. the actual BOH program.. Not the made up badges.

My wife earned 3 inside of a week, 2 of them in the same hour on the same day. Then another glittery one when it was parked in the hospital parking lot
I don't want rows of them. Just what I've gotten in some way is enough. Won't go out and buy them, and any that get in the way, get put in a bag under the rear seat so my wife can give out ducks when we travel.
Trust me, it's great to see a 67 year old woman acting like a kid now and then and having a whole lot of fun in life, vs. what things could be like - bitching about aches and pains, complaining about the world, whatever - she's the opposite. Ask her how she's doing and she'll way "wonderful!" even if she's had a rough day. Too much grumpy and hate in the world - and she doesn't care for that at all.

I agree with that . I however am unfortunately a curmudgeon at times and a court jester at other times....
My biggest downfall is I tend to be a very logical person most of the time except for the times I'm not logical which tends to be most of the time .

I will say though some of my vehicles develop nicknames for various reasons and it's the easiest way to refer to said vehicle when you've got 5 or 6 of them. My red reg cab SRT10 is called "The Red Dragon" because one of my best friends, now deceased, called it that when he first saw it. But usually just referred to as "The Ram" or "Dragon." My Gladiator is called "The Marmot" or "Whistle Pig" because on a wheeling trip in Colorado my wife pointed out it was the same color and also a fatass that managed to scramble over rocks in the same way. And turbo whistle. But we can't say "the truck" because I have two, and we can't say "the Jeep" because we have two... So, that specificity encouraged cute names to stick.

And I do, in fact, have Whistle Pig on my license plate. Come at me!

I said the badge thing with a bit of apprehension, because I kinda find them cool and I have a few from the opportunities local to me on the lid of my toolbox. But then there's people like my in-laws that are literally running out of fender space for them, and have them sent to my house (they're full time RV'ers), and then will ask us fairly often if any came in the mail on a given day.

Even the ducks can be "fine", family approaches and the little kids want to give me a duck? That is totally fine. It's a fun treasure-hunt game for them and I'm happy it brings them joy. I have a handful in my center console to trade with them for that singular rare event. Sometimes I just give them all of what I have.

Weird shrieking adults with "DUCK ME" written on the glass of their JK at Smokey Mt. Jeep Invasion? Be gone!

Everything is a sliding scale.

I like the trail badges. I call it Pokemon Go for mid life adults. The tricky part is just where to put them that doesn't look like trash. I hate anywhere on the main bodywork but the half rack side panels is ok for me

Whatever brings you joy brother. Mine are called, TJ, LJ, or Gladiator in conversation. Or "green one", "black one", or "blue one".
