Do you get unsolicited compliments on your Jeep?

Wife got a complement in her Jeep along with a mini duck going through a bank drive through!

Did these wheels fit on your spare tire carrier? I saw someone with similar wheels who had that issue

Yes. But I needed a Smittybilt spare relocation bracket for the 35-inch tire to clear the bumper.

none. because they only make about 200k of these a year. About as common as it gets.

- Random "nice Jeep" comments in traffic

- Group of drunk women asking me if I could take them to the after hours strip club

- Car full of college girls yelling out my vanity plate (it's a playful word)

- Dudes at bars giving me props

- Random woman complimenting my parallel parking skills

It's a firecracker red 4-door JL with 35's and the top and doors completely off, a complete head-turner. There's probably more, but I get a lot of attention in it. Sometimes the ladies I have in the passenger seat get cat called.

It gets ducked maybe 1-2 times per quarter

Every Jeep I've owned (on # 5 now) has elicited comments. I only hear the good ones tho.

I had a mint corvette for 20 years and didn't get as many compliments on it as I've got on my 2021 JL 2 door. And the compliments are usually from women. And usually when the top is off.

Happy New Year everyone!

Owning a Jeep is unlike most vehicles out there. Jeep Wranglers are highly visible and most of us enjoy the attention —and the validation— that comes with it.

About twice a month I get a thumbs up from someone stopped in the next lane.

In the three years I’ve owned my Sahara a dozen people complimented my Firecracker Red.

The feature that gets most attention are the vintage looking Jeep wheels, though. I had complete strangers come over to strike a conversation when I pull up at a gas station of walk away from the Jeep at a parking lot.

Just last night we were driving to a New Year celebration. When we come to a stop light, a couple in a white Ram 1500 next to us waves, points at my front wheel and gives me the thumbs up. They kept talking to each other, smiling and pointing at the wheel, until the wife pulled out her phone and took a photo before the light turned green. It was kinda funny.

I get compliments on the raised white letters less frequently but still some.

Here’s a couple photos to make it official

My wife’s JK has been sporting the same Retro Look for 5 years now
(16x8 American Racing Wheels with 295/75-16 Cooper AT3 XLT)
Compliments typically come from others who owned CJ’s in the 70’s and 80’s and recognize the look.

Curious where you found those center caps? They look great! I have been searching for these and can only find stickers or old wagoner ones that won’t work.

I get them once in a while.. but when my fiance takes it to the store or something she comes back almost every time with a story of someone complimenting her on it.. she seems to get it every time she drives it.. but that's probably to be expected.

Mine are stickers adhered to the chrome center hubs that come with the Quadratec retro wheels.

PixelDecals.com made the vintage looking decals.

And they stick well? No issues with them?

None. Had them on for 18+ months; through rain, snow and sleet.

I like to take good care of my Jeep, though.

Ive had a few parking lot conversations after someones complimented it. Ive had quite a few stares followed by nods while driving and one hilarious conversation with a woman who didnt understand why her Rubicon was shorter than my sport.

I used to get ducked a good amount but it seems like the bigger the Jeep got, the less it gets ducked.

I have had one not so fun interaction this past summer at Home Depot. I had my doors and top off and came out of the store to find a guy in my Jeep. Literally sitting in my Jeep taking pictures of my radio (had the Stinger installed at the time) and my doors off mirrors. I said “nice Jeep” and he immediately said “oh its not mine Im just checking it out” or something along those lines. I dont remember what all was said but I wasnt nice. The more he didnt understand why I wasnt happy the worse it got. He was driving a white JLU and apparently was looking to upgrade his radio when he saw mine but my god, do not get in someones car.
