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

[Tommyd]

The fact that some Jeep people think that everybody has $10,000 or more to drop on making mods to their Jeep.

The fact that some people are WAY too obsessed with making mods to their Jeep. To the point where I would be divorced for bankrupting our family, if I were to try to do the same.

this makes me feel guilty.

Don't feel so bad. I sure wish I had the money to do all of those things, but I stay happy knowing that maybe someday I'll be able to do a few things with the old girl. It's just frustrating when you see these guys ripping their engines out and putting in a Hemi, or jacking it up 12 inches and putting 44 inch tires on....

When you take a JT sport, lift it and put bigger tires and wheels on it, it's still the 16" steel wheel base model, you bought for $30k... let that hate flow through you !

How would one fit 16 inch wheels on a gladiator? My 17s barely clear. Sport wheels are the same size as Rubicon and Mojave, 17x7.5

What exactly are you saying here? I’m sorry I’m just confused with the phrasing I guess

 

[AmishMike]

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.....

5.5hrs each way, to Drummond Island and back

My thoughts were that the difference of a couple hundred pounds of payload/towing capacity between a MaxTow and a Rubicon were because of the extra weight of the Rubicon options? So in the end, the GVWR/GCWR of the two would be the same. Any modifications and extra weight added would not change the GVWR but would change the payload capacity.

Wait, nope not looking for a discussion.
Gotta agree with @I'mBack on this thread, it was interesting in the beginning.

it’s perfectly fine to put a tent on the ground.

Not only do we have a 3 person tent, we have an 'SUV' style tent where you can seal it around the back of a vehicle and open it to the lift gate, and yet wife had to have a RTT.

I don’t know what that means but I didn’t buy one. I don’t want to stare at it.

The one ad almost got me into buying a Porsche 718 GT4 RS, or a 911 GT3 RS.
