Anyone Else Really Like Looking at Your Parked Rig?

I pause to look at my bone stock Sport S all the time. Yeah, it looks a little silly with the four factory spare tires on it, but I love the damn thing.

Why does it look silly? Because we've been conditioned to believe it does by those with the huge fat tires as if it's not a real Jeep unless it's got a 4" lift and 40" tires that are 2 feet wide?
Naw, I wandered through the dealer lot this week looking at all of the JTs they had there - about 20 of them, from basic Sport to Rubicon (only 2 Overland - geesh, talk about no one caring) and I thought even the basic Sport looked nice. It was more about color and contrast to me - they all have the classic "Jeep look". Did the first Jeeps in the 40s have huge tires and wheels? Did the CJ5 (or is it a sin to even mention those here?) look bad because they didn't have 17" tires with massive lifts?

In the context of my TJ sitting next to it with a 4” mid arm lift, fully armored and built up, and 35” tires it looks silly. But I don’t mind how my Gladiator looks.

I get a lot of thumbs up at traffic lights and positive comments at intersections. My daughter loves it when she’s in the car with me.

If you don’t turn around and look at it when you get out you probably bought the wrong one.

When I’m in my JT, time is not a thief...

Yeah, since mine sits outside under a lean-to my wife keeps wondering why I'm looking out the window - what I'm looking at. Luckily the bird feeders are out in that general direction so - I'm bird watching! Checking to make sure all the feeders are ok and they have plenty of peanuts and the suet feeder doesn't need more.

Yeah mine sits in my driveway. I have my beer fridge in my front porch with a clear view of my rig. Been making many trips to my beer fridge lol.

I put a CB in mine last week and running on scan I’ve find mine getting talked about quite a bit too.

People still are on CB radios? I haven’t had one in any of my cars for 30 years.

Drove mine to work again today. Just had to take a minute to go check it out. And get a pic of course!

I love me a CJ-5.

2-meter ham here....i suppose those are dying, too. Thanks, innernet.

I like it so much that I took a picture of it parked and posted it on this site, and...........I keep it in the garage so none of my neighbors can enjoy it. And then when I feel the need for a fix, even in my pajamas, I crack the garage door open and take a peek.

Update; I loaded an image of my JT on a thumb drive and have been sneaking onto other PC's and setting the picture of my JT as the default Desktop image so others can enjoy it too, Buwaha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got my Rubi in late May and still can't get over it

The electrician finally got done with our breaker panel replacement and came up and looked out before the last light faded and asked "is that your truck out there?"
Yup
He said - oh, man I want one so bad!

 

[TJ Mitchell Films]

Yes I feel like my truck is always posing wanting pictures taken of it haha
