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

[Reinen]

99.9% of HiLifts stored externally are for decoration.


Dirty edit: and 78.934% of HiLift owners have zero clue on how to even use one. I especially like seeing them on vehicles that literally have no spot to use them. Granted, it can be used as a winch as well but they don't know that either. Lol.

Woo Hoo! I'm in the 0.1% special people!

And it can only be used as a winch if you have the parts & chain to go with it so... yeah. Useless decoration for many just waiting for an opportunity to do it's part in Darwinism.

I've been jumped a few times for saying I think a modest lift and 35" tires is the sweet spot for performance increase vs cost. This is supposed to be a safe space though, so don't start with me ; )

Don't you know the XR package is only the starting point for another lift, 40s and a 5.13 regear?!?

Couldn't care less if the lifted ones dont ever go off road. That's like being upset that people adding hp to their cars never go to the drag strip. It's whatever to me, looks good at least.
But the wave thing? Every time I see a Jeep? Sorry but there are a boatload of them here, it could be my job. Pass.

90%+ of Jeep drivers can’t even fully use the capability of their Jeeps stock, and don’t need mods. Most mods are done for vanity and fashion, not necessity.

I am guilty, I've spent this past month nearly daily putting wheels/tires and a lift in my shopping cart just to have an internal battle about how I don't need it as a standard Rubicon will take me to 99% of the places I would like to explore....

If components break while you're wheeling it's (usually) the fault of the driver and not the weakness of the component.

People who seek out the mud puddles on trails are weird. Why do you want to smell steaming hot burnt ass all day?

i think i am going to do 20x10 wheels on 35's. there, i said it... man, i feel like a weight has been taken off of me.

Hell I’m just as guilty; I got a Rubicon even though I rarely if ever maxed out in my Sport. My excuse is I wanted a 4xe but didn’t want a Sahara/HA so, oh well, “have to” get a Rubicon.

More power isn't always the answer. Gearing is.

The 3.6 is a dog and needs to be revamped/retired.

SOT looks like trash.

Black, white and grey are boring colors.

The Bronco isn't that bad a rig. 90% of people would get one if it had a Jeep Wrangler badge on it and would look down on SFA Wranglers.

Jeep should offer a fixed-roof version without the roll bar.

This would make it a lot quieter and greatly improve interior storage space for overlanders.

 

[John VonJeep]

I don't Jeep wave.

Wave or GTFO.

That struggle is real! Just saw one too many jeeps with a lift and big tires that looked good and said fk it. Then I tried like crazy to win that jeep giveaway Northridge was doing... I had sooo many entries.

I would never own a pre-97 Jeep

They don’t look any worse than mud flaps.

Either way, I’m an old man so it fits...

LOL.. Aldo, you are just a Kid. But I am as old as the Dinosaur age…

Quick disconnect swaybar endlinks usually suck worse than just unbolting the links at the trailhead.
