This Jeep bullshit has to stop. Every last person that has a Jeep has it customized six ways from Sunday. They all think they are the sh*t. They all drive like idiots in traffic. And god forbid snow hits the ground LOOK OUT. This Jeep guy/girl is going to show you his truck was built to handle this 2 inches of snow. As if the rest of us don't have trucks, SUV's and All wheel drives. And Jeeps are made like sh*t. they're total rattle boxes. They've always just had serviceable motors and trannys. Never anything to get excited about. From the factory they look weak and flimsy so you have to put 5-10k of aftermarket stuff on it to make it look presentable, none of which improves performance except for maybe tires(this stock tires on everything but the rubicon are a passenger car joke). Oh so you can take the top off? THAT'S PRACTICAL. Oh you can take the doors off too? Lemme guess you're going to do that the first nice day in spring and never do it again because driving without doors is ****ing stupid. They're over priced as hell. And that's well before the upgrades. So let me get this right, you have $45,000 invested in a junk SUV that has a horrible quality reputation, among the worst re-buy % in history, drives terrible, is terrible on gas, is awkwardly shaped where it has almost none of the benefits of a truck or SUV, is only good for 4x4 capability so you could look cool that one time you took the roof or doors off of but didn't because the roads are flooded with these things and you actually prayed it wouldn't rain the whole time? Ok I go it.

Rant over.
 
Wow, you feel about Jeep drivers the way I feel about Ram truck drivers around here!
Must be a Dodge thing...

And another thing. The Jeep wave. The lame Jeep stickers and slogans. Get over yourself. How pissed would everyone be if every person in a Mercedes SUV waived at each other?

Definite Chrysler superiority thing going on. Its ok they won't exist in 10 year because of reliability issues and poor re-buy %. Plus they have zero invested in electric or hybrid technologies. Gas will go up again,
 
Yah, I don't get the whole Jeep thing either. I rescued a Chevy K30 single from the crusher. 8-inch frame rails, kingpin Dana 60. My 7-year-old son loves this truck, so I guess I have to keep it as a family project. For $850, who cares if it rattles.

I drive my 94 Jeep in the winter, it has no modifications, it has no stickers, it's great in the snow, doesn't rattle, I don't belong to any Jeep clubs or online forums and I don't wave at anyone. I hope we can still be friends...:friday:
