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

I don't like the red dash (or other red accents) on the Rubicon. It's one of the main reasons I went with a Sport (I also don't like the color matching fenders of the Sahara).

This is also a large part of why I have a Sahara. The dash alone would've actually been easy enough to replace. It's all that damn red stitching that did me in.

Just because you think it (even if you’re right) doesn’t mean that you should post it. Or even that you have a right to.

That’s true. But it’s true of most car communities. I’ve had an acquaintance (not a good friend) pull a rear drive shaft off of his car to put in mine at the drag strip when I broke mine so I could drive home because he trailered his car there.

And get a second job so you can afford the other half of your Jeep.

lol, yeah I'm still saving up for all the stuff I need so I can justify needing a 4door, plus I've only got a few friends that like 4 wheeling that don't have Jeeps, so I don't need to haul there ungrateful asses to the trail

And yep, there's plenty of good folks out there that will help in certain situations, it seems that Jeeps out on the trail are more willing than most though, but YMMV

Old timers who’ve owned 37 Jeeps since 1952 - you’ve got a ton of knowledge, experience, and wisdom to share to help out the less knowledgeable and experienced. But if you choose to express it like a know-it-all curmudgeonly old fart nobody will pay attention to it except other know-it-all curmudgeonly old farts.

A Jeep is an expensive golf cart…at least my garage ornament is. Buy a golf cart, save money.

The Wrangler "JM" will have IFS.

Angry grills. Please make it stop!
A winch is not a hood ornament.
Trailering heavily modified Jeep to fairs and events, but never driving it.
Waving is getting old around here. Seems like everyone has a Jeep.

Years ago to say on a Jeep forum that Mud Terrain tires were overkill would have gotten you crucified.

KO2 and other modern All Terrains changed all that. Today no one blinks when you say that your Jeep rides on ATs.

Well, I am not sure how popular it is, or is not to name one’s Wrangler. I haven’t seen it very much in this Forum, but a lot in another Forum that I belong to. But let’s just say that my statement is going to be un-popular. I think that it is just plain a simply stupid, to name one’s Wrangler. I have had Harleys, UTV’s and Corvettes, and don’t remember anybody assigning a name to them.

I love the look of the two-door, but simply have too many children. I also knew my trailer would be over the 2000 lb limit that two-door has. Thank you for suffering for those of us 4-door owners.

Many years ago, our parents would have grabbed some folding chairs and stuck us in the damn trailer (and maybe one crammed in the cargo behind the rear seats if we weren't hauling groceries).

Unpopular opinion: it’s possible to wheel solo and not die.

So you're aginst naming jeeps, but what about using terms of endearment such as: baby, sweetheart, love of my life, love muffin, pumpkin?

Did we just become best friends?
