Quote HistoryQuoted: No Jeep made after 2001 is a real Jeep, so you've mostly gotten your wish. Why 2001? Why not 2006 or 1986? Seems like just a random year thrown out there. And I fail to see how more capable factory Jeeps aren’t “real” Jeeps? More power, better on road manners, better off road performance, factory lockers, 4:1 transfer case, sway bar disconnects, etc. Not to mention the creature comforts and technology. You can even buy one with 470 HP! It used to take considerable expense and effort to get 35s on any of the leaf sprung CJs & the first generation of Wrangler, now you can get those on a factory Jeep. |

I would be a Jeep guy if I could find a decent condition mid ‘60s Wagoneer, or a ‘70’s to early ‘80’s pickup. But the market has dried up on reasonable priced ones. And good ones are priced out of their intended purpose.
The truck would definitely be a work truck, still fixed up nice but not to the point of not using it, as I would have the need to pull trailers in off road conditions, sometimes in mountain WMAs. The Wagoneer would cover two things: decent cool way to have a ‘different’ daily driver, and bring back childhood memories of the forest service vehicles I saw around at the time. Yes, OK to buy a vehicle that you want. But seeing so many decorated Jeeps today in flatland pavement country is like a jukebox playing in a bar. Background noise/scenery you don’t pay attention to. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Whenever you get a group of rabid fanboys turning something into some sort of religion it annoys those outside the group. Basically turning inanimate objects into a lifestyle. Same as Harleys, etc. Jeeps used to be cool back when they were toys for hardcore offroaders. Now Jeeps are a status for suburban moms who desperately want to think they are cool. Jeeps too have become the official vehicle of the LGBT community, replacing Subaru. I love how the old school off roader guys are in denial of that reality.

Jeep started making Rubicon models in 2003, by all measures the most capable Jeep and the most capable show room stock 4x4 ever produced by a US manufacturer. I'm not sure what his motivation is for the 2001 year cut off, but he couldn't be more wrong. |

But what will people who base their entire personality on being a Jeep owner do? What of all the Jeep Girls? The Jeep Moms? The people who spend all their money on Jeep parts? Who go to rallies and trade ducks? What will become of them? Is it possible that this problem is a Jeep thing and you wouldn't understand?

Crazy, I know……… Maybe they drive an F-150 that they do truck stuff with too and have a Jeep for driving around while having fun. This country was a better place when having fun on a Friday night was centered around driving your "weekend car" up and down main street with the occasional impromptu stoplight drag race. BTW, I do not now nor have I ever owned a Jeep. |

We had M151A2s when I got to the 101st as a young FO and as much as folks love the nostalgia of those things, I have very few fond memories. Uncomfortable, shit on road, not great off road, and very little protection against the weather. My 2013 JKR would absolutely destroy that thing off road.
I would not trade my JKR for a new M151 or for my old YJ or TJ, as much as I have fond memories of those two. Yeah, it's a rolling computer full of creature comforts, and no, it's not as easy for me to replace things on, but it is a comfy.

Jeeps wave at me all the time(when driving a fj40 or 45)....which is more than mini truck or 4runners do when I wave at them....not sure what's up with those folks...but they must all be dreaming of overlanding, their kit and bespoke roof top tents |
