I was wondering when one of you Arizonans would post 100+ on here. In NM we (my wife) complain when it’s 95.

Utility aside I love the contrast the most - especially the fenders. It's just a very Jeep thing to me growing up loving the YJ and TJ.
I love the contrast too as you can see.

I've seen them roll, every time it was due to driver error, and I know that the ride quailty is garbage. I have to slow down a lot when I wheel with my 2 door buddy because he's bouncing around while i'm cruising like a Cadillac in my JT

I guess seeing them make obstacles look easy that my JT would struggle in, as well as the mystique of being the "original" Jeep make me like them, but at the end of the day it's just a pipe dream because of the cargo space. Even taking 1 kid or 1 dog would kill my space for wheeling
Then there’s the break over angle…

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.
Depends what you do with your Max. I've seen some guys tow/haul some stuff with their Max that the extra tow rating or payload would be warranted. If I didn't have Max payload, I would have made my son use his Ram to do this.....

Unpopular opinion:

Trim levels in Jeeps are not worth the money. Falls more on the levels between Sport and Mojave and Rubicon. Basically Sports plus stuff. And even Rubi/Mojave the components used are inflated prices. Mopar e lockers are made in China They all share same engine, trans and TC,

If you are not cutting, welding, grinding and painting you are not building anything. You are swapping or adding parts. More so if you pay a shop to do it. I put a lift on my Jeeps, That's it. Building insinuates fabricating. I have the same take on AR15 "builds" At least Jeeps has variety.
