Stock is ok, even for most trails...

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.

I sometimes joke and say those are JINOs. Jeep in name only.

I am not very enthusiastic about the 'wave'.

Tough to say where I will settle-in, but I am generally grumpy, in a hurry, and generally believe that most other drivers are idiots, so I am somewhat doubtful I will be cheerfully making extra effort to move my attention away from the task at hand (actually driving) to make eye contact with some random person and waive to them.

My parents had a JK while I was in high-school and back from college that they would allow me to borrow from time-to-time (suckers still on the road, due to that sweet lifetime warranty they got at the time), and I do not remember the 'wave' being such a big deal back then.

Sometimes you have to wave first.

I always do. The only people that ever wave back are other SJ drivers (rare as they are)

Unpopular opinions:

Max Tow isn't special. Jeep doesn't even think it's worthy of its own badge or decal.

Manual transmissions are antiquated. Move them to the automotive scrap heap of history.

Sting Gray is boring and over done. Retire it and replace it with something more interesting.

Unpopular opinions
-Jeeps are easily over done.
-I wish the JT was a little bit wider (for rear seat passenger purposes)
-More than 4 LED lights is obsessive

Manual transmissions are antiquated. Move them to the automotive scrap heap of history.

It'll happen soon enough. With the internal combustion engine, and all transmissions (electric is usually direct drive). Until then, I'm going to enjoy my antiquated gasoline powered manual transmission vehicle. My next jeep will hopefully be shiftless and single speed (and fully electric). That'll hopefully be 8-9 years from now for me, which gives me a little while more to row gears.

Lets try this one: Push button ignition is cool.
or: Push button ignition is dumb.

Driving is antiquated. Move the steering wheel with it

I guess I'll play.

I agree with this one: Max Tow isn't special. Jeep doesn't even think it's worthy of its own badge or decal.

Warn winches (the cheaper made in China ones) are super over rated.

Sunriders are the worst of both worlds.

Unpopular opinion-
That a Marine is more important than a doped up basketball player.

Semper Fi

When did the color purple get changed to reign?

When Jeep decided they need cutesy names for all their special colors.

 

[LostWoods]

Manual transmissions are antiquated.

Hell yes!

Move them to the automotive scrap heap of history.

Hell no!

 

[NachoRuby]

Hell yes!



Hell no!

Perfectly and succinctly explained. There's so much that could be called "antiquated" on this platform. That's the least controversial thing, I'd think, since it's just an option, for those of us who are gluttons for punishment.

I'm a glutton for fun. I have a manual. Several of them. I also have an auto. Great for commuting and getting groceries. Also great if you want to play with gadgets and not the road.
