Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

[cedxc2005]

Good gravy what kind of abuse do they put their Jeep through? Do they just land on the rear bumper off a rock and say, "This bumper sux!" or am I overreacting?

The bumper does take quite a beating, but they do have a point. It is apparently much less stout than the Mopar front steel bumper.

Watch their videos though. They are beating the outta that JL. With very few exceptions, it just rolls with the punches.

My company is having a lil social gathering tomorrow, including a pumpkin carving contest. I'm thinking about smashing TF out of pumpkin, I mean completely obliterating it, then submitting it with a title of "morale".

You must not like working there then, lol!

Channeling Billy awfully early, aren’t you?:cwl:

Never to early. Who doesn't like a good wake up ravaging?

@Zazoh Just a tiny little bit off center... Now I'm gonna have to sell the Jeep!

It's funny. I'm mildly obsessive that way. I noticed it on the way to drop off the kids this morning while at the light. I wear prescription glasses and attributed it to parallax -- there are many other things that bother me.

I like looking at the digital MPH, but find it a waste as the analog speedometer is there, and then customizing the dashboard is the same, I don't want to duplicate anything and also have it show on Uconnect screen. Thus, I am constantly changing settings to get the option with lest amount of redundancy.

Somebody has to fill the void before he makes his entrance.

"Fill the void". How apropos.

 

[Smarrtazz]

Yes, anything else will just rub me the wrong way...

Like these tiles....

Don’t even start with that BS

 

[Smarrtazz]

I can't leave the radio volume (or any volume for that matter) on "13"...

Weirdo

Let's just say there's room for improvement...

Okay I don't think I'm overreacting with the type of off-roading they do, lol. Chris... with normal driving and off-roading you shouldn't have to worry about the OEM Steel bumpers

Of course not. I even tried to allude to that. They abuse that thing way more than any of us would I think. And that's OK!

My issue is that I wanted the steel bumper pair - I have the plastic Sport ones because steel ones are only available on the Rubicons. The front bumper offers aesthetic, a winch mounting point, and a grille guard. The rear bumper is not available anywhere that I can tell, and offers, based on their experience, not a whole lot of protection. I have yet to see any bumpers other than the Mopar ones that I like, front or rear.

I am curious as to whether a steel Mopar rear bumper is worth the cost based on how much trouble it gave them. I.e. how would a plastic one have fared in those conditions?

I'm checking a few of them out.

They're using that Jeep for what they bought it for all right lol. I'm willing to bet they're putting their Jeep above and beyond 90% of users, so I just disagree with the term "Sucks"

Sure they've found a bumper that works better for their uses and that's good for them.

But imagine if I walk into your apartment with a sledge hammer and took a good swing at your coffee table, and then telling you it sucked because it broke...

 

[Smarrtazz]

PM it to me.

Saimsies?
