Wow, was I off the mark, I thought this was a blowdozer .....

Some people have a vision, some need glasses to see it, think blinders are best for this one. My eyes are burning!

About 15 years ago, I worked with a guy who had a pair of Truck Nutz hanging from his Dodge Truck. On the tailgate above the nutz...was a sticker that said "Choke on These"

We had a guy at work who had a extra big set chained to his trailer hitch, someone went on ebay and purchased a 18" dong and stuck it into his hitch, was pretty funny flopping around as he went down the road. Guess he saw it when he got home because both were removed the next day. Good times!

Do the color scheme matching "Hemi" stickers I put on the hood of my royobi garden tractor 18 years ago count?

i have a brodie knob, 8 ball shifter and spidertrax stickers on my old craftsman

Somebody put those ugly running boards on a new vehicle, on purpose? What aesthetic were they going for? Grandpa on his way to poach some poon from the bingo hall?

looks like someone bought a left over storage locker from J.C. Whitney

Did his wife send a thank you note for her new toy?

Only sticker I run is AEV on tailgate because I really like the 2.5 lift and somebody always asks what lift you running. This one thing that always makes me laugh is the hi lift jack mounted on the hood (or anywhere) that has never touched the ground. I have one in my storage shed that is probably 50 years old and has been used over the years but not on a Jeep. Those things can kill or seriously maim you. Lots of better options out there.

I agree not only do they look stupid mounted in the elements, is so bad for them and a user. To be safe a High lift jack must clean, lubed and maintained.
I have a 4ft mounted in my buggy and 5 ft on my car trailer, they get used and abused.
On a DD Jeep its just a hey look at me, I'm afraid I might get stuck on the curb at JC Penny

Oh no, don’t you know to never tell a woman to calm down

I'd tell it to a man, so....women's lib equal opportunity and all that.

So how do you get all those ducks to stay in the dash

Well, see, what you need is some construction adhesive to keep in the glove box, you put a 1/4" diameter dot on the bottom of any duck you get and then you stick it anywhere you want on the dash and it'll stay.

I think the worst one that I've seen is people trying to lower their jeeps. I think it ruins the point of the Jeep.

Late to the game, I'm sure it's been said already but I cannot stand the look of the colored door hinges. Makes the vehicle look like a garish kids toy that walmart sells, IMHO it's a way of saying I don't take my Jeep into the woods, without ever saying I don't take my Jeep into the woods.

And the duck thing really chaps my ass; I'll explain why and someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I believe the whole "Getting Ducked" thing started as a way to let someone know that you thought their Jeep was cool, and worthy of some recognition. Very strange concept but I get it; we all appreciate a well done Jeep and I guess a rubber duck is a little less weird than leaving little handwritten notes on people's windshields.

Well that innocent little acknowledgment of a job well done morphed into something absolutely batshit crazy, where every stock jeep on the planet is literally covered in rubber ducks that the owner either gave to themself, or a friend gave them because they think ducks on the dash are what Jeep people do. It's now a disgrace, has been completely bastardized from it's original intent and frankly I'm a bit embarrassed by the whole thing. It's the fu**ing Beanie Baby craze all over again. And nobody needs that.

There are four ducks on our dash: three were given to me by the neighbor kids, and the fourth I found left on the glad after a particularly miserable day long hospital appointment.

The dealer decal and license plate frame are still on because we actually have a pretty decent dealer and will remain as long as nothing changes. I have a parking decal on the windshield because the town will only honor a “permanent “ mounting. The marina parking decal on the other hand is on a piece of plexiglass and goes up beside the ducks as needed.

As for aftermarket parts, I have running boards because the wife and the dog couldn’t get into the truck without them. And I’m sorry but, the bed cover keeps my stuff, my stuff. And yes, I have old school halogen Hella fog lights, because they actually work in rain and fog.

If any of that offends you, too bad. It isn’t your truck and you don’t get a say. That said, I don’t care what you do with yours either,

Oh yeah, the led lighted Christmas wreath for the grill will be here on Wednesday.

@HankB Ahh the wreath on the front of the Jeep. I had one of those once, but my wife repurposed it the next year. She said I wonder where we got this, I believe I put it here last year. The good husband I am, said yes that right. I now no longer buy a wreath for the Jeep as it will always be repurposed into house decorations.

 

[AmishMike]

I usually put Christmas lights on my bed rack. But I only hang whatever accessory on it that need at the time. The RTT is hanging up, fuel jugs are in the garage, boards can get thrown in the bed when it snows, etc.. Currently the rack is even off.
