What is an unpopular opinion you have in the Jeep community?

[Outside Reality Check]

I was going to name my JEEP - PIZZA P___Y SANTA, because everyone likes at least one of those things, but the naming thing wasn't for me. So I just named my kids.

I don’t care what people do to “fix it” or how many videos are posted of people with one finger on the steering wheel…Jeep steering sucks.

 

[Jteakus]

20" + wheels should be reserved for tires that are 42" +

Don't wave at me. I am not your friend.
Keep your filthy toys off my vehicle.
Don't park next to me. You will not get a reach-around.

So then what are your kids middle names?

White letter tires that are turned to the inside. I just never understood it.

a good wench can get you unstuck, then serve you a beer later. A winch is just sitting there most of the time, a wench can be useful most of the time......... unless you are married.

Ya, in a similar vein, the difference is that one will never let you down by giving you a good tug when you need it....and the other is bolted to the front bumper, taking up GVWR.

My unpopular opinion....is that I really am annoyed by people referring to ANY Jeep as a "car".

Anybody yet mention chrome on Jeeps? That is usually a panty twister for a few.

Color matched fenders/tops make the wranglers look like the ugly box-y Mercedes SUVs, and the gladiators look like some bastard child of the Mercedes SUVs and the Rangers....

Gladiators with the soft top down look like a hipster in a manbun. I'd love a softtop on my gladiator if they didn't look so goofy when pulled back

YJ's are cool. My friend at work says its square headlights 'not a real jeep' or that a JKU or JLU isnt a real jeep bc its a four door.

the Gatekeeping is trash when it comes to Jeeps.

A lot of Jeep owners are snobs and douches arguing about what a "Real Jeep" is. I own multiple Jeeps and see this every where

I've owned over 100 vehicles and never named any of them. I've never understood it, especially enough to put decals of the name all over it

I will never understand the duck thing

Sometimes the Jeep community seems like the ricer/import crowd from 15-20 years ago. People putting useless tacky mods on vehicles

 

[Sprinkler-Fitter]

Pretty good...... at best. It could be way better, and I am actually getting used to it.

What are you getting used to?

 

[Slojo]

You paid too much. I love my Wrangler and this Gladiator but the company has to make a killing on a simple frame, solid axle, stamped sheet metal, 20 year old engine vehicle.

I thought of a couple more...

• Black grilles (like on Willy's) look atrocious.
• I could not give any less of a fuck if you think it should be pronounced "Willis". Absolutely nothing about "Willy's" indicates that, and if Jeep wanted it to be pronounced that way, they should have spelled it differently. I'm dumb.
• KC lights look really dumb with the giant logo plastered all over them.
• Posting a picture of your "rig" every day with some stupid day of the week hashtag (#sideshotsaturday, #tooshietuesday, etc) doesn't make you an influencer - it makes you unoriginal and a complete tool.

Wander and wonder are not the same word.

Winch and Wench are not the same word...
