Jeep fail

[Kyanche]

I used to criticize Honda for the color matching thing. Every time I see a picture of a Honda/Acura with a black interior, especially taken with a flash, I cringe. The leather usually has a half dozen different shades of black!

It is strange that they were smart enough to not allow the red dash with the tan seats, but let it go for gecko (??), a color so in-your-face loud that seeps heavily into the cabin past the small door panels. But then... tan doesn't go with gecko, black does, so you're really kind of in a bind.

That being said, imho a Jeep color is like the color of a chainsaw or lawn mower. Its a tool not a status symbol to be looked at all day. The color is an afterthought, not like picking a Challenger color, which is 'must-have' consideration of every owner. I think it has something to do with the fact that the best color of a Jeep is mud, so who cares!

And yet I didn't complain about this.... just about plastic trim and decals!

It would be nice to have them match the interior dash and stitching to the paint color. Although I do like my red dash, only because I don’t have a eye catching color( granite). If I had gecko or punkin or hella yella I’d like that color on the inside as well instead of the red.

Cool looking Jeep.
My thinking is that these 392s’ will be collectible some day.

Interesting. My 392 is being built this week. Hoping I have the proper gold badge with the 392 name. That’s all I care about right now.

For years now jeep designers have dropped the ball. I don’t work and have no plans to work but for jeep I would reconsider bc they seriously need someone who isn’t color blind and is coherent to handle their “lipstick” department.

It started going downhill when jeep had the brilliant idea that a red dash would be loved by all and match all the rubi exterior colors. It didnt. Now you can get gecko with that red dash. Like wtf Jeep. Jeep’s styling has become halfassed at best. No effort. No thought. My 392 didn’t even get the 392 tailgate badge, for some idiot threw on the standard jl badge like I wouldn’t notice, and it happened on MANY 392’s. Jeep also decided to put a matte chrome ring all over the place on the dash and gear shift, but leaves the empty indentation around the cup holder less than 1 inch away from the gear shift. If you aren’t familiar with the 392, it was detailed in a gold bronze color. But again Jeep failed and used multiple colors that don’t even match. The gold wheels are mostly platinum. The 392 s gold bronze. The shocks are gold. The rubi lettering is outlined in brownish bronze. The stitching on the seats is a tan orange and Jeep didnt even try to incorporate one of their many gold bronze colors in the interior minus the thread fail. It seems with every additional model Jeep throws at us, they forget about attention to detail. They just throw shit at the jeep and see what sticks. Given the amount of options, we could be ordering some badassed looking stock Jeep’s if only Jeep was “a la cart” instead of no choice within model.

but really
HIRE ME BECAUSE YOUR STYLIST IS COLORBLIND, LAZY, AND IS CRAP. even high I could do
a better job bc I learned how to match colors in kindergarten.

AND NO ONE WANTS THAT STUPID “UNLIMITED” decal. In fact. Delete all decals it would make my life easier bc I wouldn’t have to remove them all….

but geez I love Jeep’s…. Especially my 9th one… the 392! Kicks ass.

AMEN!

AMEN!

Holy moly batman. Someone just flat out agreed with me.

Jenne if that is your photo. You can post whatever you'd like to say as long as you PM me a photo of you and your Wrangler. FYI, I am allowed to say that because, I am a dirty old man.

Sourdi… nevermind. ?

I do love the Jeep forum!!!

Wait, what's wrong with Gecko and a red dash? It's gonna look rad.

Not your taste? That's OK! Your Jeep probably isn't to my taste, either.
