If you aren't wheeling a Jeep... be honest... it's a shit vehicle by many metrics. But if you use it for what it's real aim is, it all comes out in the wash.
Dunno about that. We've used Jeeps as daily drivers, cross-country vehicles, tow vehicles, and as real trucks for years and they are fine.
Biggest thing is wind noise - but when you stand up in the wind surrounded by flat panels, it's going to be noisy.
Otherwise, the ride is quite good, they tow great and make perfect winter vehicles.

I wish the government would hurry up a ban tik tok. Nothing but crap on it. People who can't make it in the real world. Try to make money by getting clicks. :facepalm:

Politics aside, I agree with this for national security reasons. It’s banned by many employers in the US. Look up who owns it.

I'm not influenced, and will not click to give her another view for her stats.

But I get the gist of it from the article. She's just looking for attention. Gheezus lady, sell it and move on. Pretty sure she was looking for a G wagon. Did you not drive it before you bought it?

None of your business :)
I mean, ALL forms of social media are clickbaits .....thats how content creators make money.....how do ya lure millions of viewers to your channel is by talking controversial topics and stuff that trigger people (I mean the news media works the same way...bad news sell ).

So as a content creator, ya look at brands that are hot in the current trend (Rolex for watches, Jeeps/toyotas for trucks and RangeRovers for luxury ) and then create some BS content based on this like "OMG...Jeep sucks... etc". Instant click bait and ya get thousands of triggered Jeep fans hooked to your channel and commenting and subcribing.

Social media is no longer a source of any legit info and it's all about fake pretentious people trying to sell ya something with affiliated links and they get paid millions from these platforms due to being a worthless "influencer"

The Chinese own it. The CCP won't allow it in their own country. India has banned it.

Agreed. I hate Jeeps. You can't away from misfires on the gassers and the diesel will run you into bankruptcy having to replace your HPFP every 3 weeks and 15 gallons of DEF to drive 3 miles to work. UGH!

I wheel the piss out of my brand new Jeep to make up for all the pavement princesses condemned to a life of asphalt and starbucks runs.
I didn't see you message signature at first, but it's so appropriate!!!

Harleys suck too. They are loud. They get handlebar shakes. They are money pits.
It's exactly what I was thinking! A legend is a legend... You love it or you hate it!

It's throwing me back in time: 10-speed bike or BMX?

:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL: Says some guy on the internet. :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
Funny? HAHA - sorry, you missed.

I don't make my living on the internet, I don't post bogus click-bait to get money, and don't "come up with life hacks".
Those fools have no life outside of tiktok - just look at them screaming at the government saying they "NEED" tiktok!

They live on platforms like tiktok.

This isn't even close to the likes of fakebook, instacrap, tiktok - the home of "let's loosen lug nuts" and "smack doors in the middle of the night for fun" challenges.

Don't see that here!

You don't see people here who have never been anywhere outside of their basements without a phone or computer. Those "influencers" can't even hold real jobs!
