It’s like dudes that complain about their wife with no intention of ever leaving her. Even John Wayne Bobbitt tried to patch things up with Lorena but she wanted no part of him. 🤓
you know what is amazing about that story is that some people can't even find their car keys and they found his wanger after it had been thrown out a car window...what are the odds....lol.

They left one out.

Spending $1200 to diagnose a problem and have it repaired, only to find out it was a $20 part that takes 10 minutes to swap? Jeep thing.

Just my opinions which nobody cares about

Driving too fast toward a blind corner on a shelf road…not a Jeep thing
Lifting your hand all the way off the steering wheel for a Jeep Wave…also not
Animated dude licking money…WTF I don’t even know…disturbing

Let’s set the scene for the trailer.

@SadRobot rolls up in the sexiest Jeep of the year. Hops out and says, “Listen up people, let me tell you what Jeep Life is really like!” Maybe just a dimly lit silhouette with her voice altered like a mafioso who’s turned state witness since she‘s about to tell the unvarnished truth.
Actually the Jeep wave is a Jeep thing. It started after the war. A vet would see another vet in a surplus Jeep on the road. Throw up the V for Victory. That is the story my father told me and that is the story someone told him from that group of dudes who stop the aggression of Adolf & the Emperor. I am sure my grandfather did the Jeep wave. He was awarded a Purple Heart for his actions in several battles in the Pacific.

It would be nice if we could have both. A head unit (radio) that does Carplay that is in no way integrated into the vehicle other than being connected to power and speakers. You know how the radios used to be. Then a simple engine without the VVT crap, and get rid of all the canbus crap.
Exactly. Keep the creature comforts, keep things separate, and dump the useless garbage. The HVAC system should also be separate and physical controls only. Most of the vehicle settings never get looked at, or they are set once and forgotten. Gauges belong in the dash, not as a page on a screen.

Yep I i knew about the history. Thats awesome about your grandfather. Most people around here just lift their two fingers nonchalantly off the steering wheel rather than lifting their hand in the air off the steering wheel. Maybe it’s a regional thing. Just more of my smartassery which mostly Im the only one that thinks is funny. As long as we don’t start doing this

No one on these forums are driving away from a 800lb bear, they're crying that someone left a plastic duck on their Jeep. 🤣

We had a driver nicknamed Petey "The Wave" because he would turn his head and wave at you like this in a forty five foot vehicle filled with people.
He was a great guy, I wish to go back to those times.....

Yep, I still only throw V for Victory in honor of our brave boys. Sometimes Jeepers even return it!

I have had 800lb bears around my Jeep when I have been camping. I just stayed quiet in the back while he was checking things out. He didn’t seem interested in my ducks :LOL:

Technology should not be a Jeep thing. Back to basics, reliability, simplicity and easily maintained by owner should be a Jeep thing. They should make a version for people who think apple car play and digital dashes are the most important features, and let the rest of us have a nice simple, reliable, capable jeep
Jeep Thing: My basic radio in my Sport Willys may or may not work depending on the mood of the day. What to control volume? NOPE. Want to connect to your phone? Maybe.

Want to have fun driving over and through stuff? YUP!

- edited to not look like a complainer. I do love my Jeep.

importunely so true. The other day, I disconnected the console iPhone cable to clean out the console. When I reconnected it, it said, unsupported device. Which is weird since all I did was unplug it, clean out the console, plug it back in. The same cable, not a knock off, the actually cable from Apple that has been connected for three years. I unplugged it and will try again this weekend.

It's a Jeep Thang.

I see Jeep put as much work and effort into this commercial as they do quality control.
