Silly boys...
In my neck of the woods here, lots of female truck owners, and I would say the majority
of 2 door Wranglers are owned by females, my wife included.
That's cuz 2 door Wranglers are for girls.......................................just kidding. Figured it would rile up some dudes around here, lol.

Been sitting on this gem for a bit because I really don’t want to offend anyone. I love the vintage jeep ads that @5JeepsAz likes to post and have wanted to share my favorite for a long time. Following the possibly offensive comments in this thread seemed like a good opportunity, so here it is. If you are easily offended might want to skip the video, however it was a Jeep advertisement so it can’t be that bad right? Well I for one think its a great ad!

Haha this ad's great!

Only in 2019 would we all have to feel the need for the disclaimer you put with your vid. Hopefully Facebook or the SJWs aren't too offended by such prehistoric un-PC thought crimes :whew:

I think there are a couple factors that stop that from happening. The most obvious one is that the most popular colors on Wranglers and eventually the Gladiators are the plain colors (White, Black, Granite, Silver.) So if they had to constantly retool the paint sprayer to support any color, it would cost Jeep a ton of extra money for very little payoff. It could also cost Jeep more money for not being able to produce their product as fast as possible. Aftermarket painting, especially in a Wrangler, shouldn't hurt resale values. I would recommend if you did want a one of kind color, to just get it painted from a well reviewed custom shop. Of course Dodge did it before with the Viper, but I could never see the Wrangler having this ability.
There's no retooling paint sprayers if there abb paint robots which I'm sure they are or at least some kind of robot that paints the vehicle there are multiple color lines on the same robot .They just perg out the old paint and it auto swaps to the new paint .not hard at all to change colors

Yeah I guess I should just go with baby sh!t gator green like everyone else so my man card doesn't get revoked. :like:
I've never had the "pleasure" of getting up close & personal; with baby shit . . . does gator green really look like that ?
Strongly reconsidering back to the Sting Gray with my Boat Wrap then ! ?

Until I, you, we, see any colour in person, it's hard to judge. Didn't think I liked the Sting Grey until I saw it personally at a dealership. Also colors look different on different vehicles, colour matched roof, fenders vs Black two tones. I just have to see it live to decide.
Much like online dating....
< this requires at least one :) and perhaps a :lipssealed: did I really say that ! ?
French Canadian ? (colour) .

If you've seen the JL production line videos, only the frame is run through the paint room. Doors, grilles, fenders, and color match tops come from storage racks (and painted elsewhere). Think the logistics of handling more than a dozen or so colors for a given model year could be a challenge. Probably a similar reason they don't drop all of the JT colors on day 1. Build a whole bunch of parts in 4 colors, then swap to other colors later.

if arousal is a virus, then most of us are infected.
