It's a sad day as Jeep owners used to be kindred spirits. We'd help each other when needed. We'd enjoy meeting on a trail and having a cook out and some beers at the end of a long hard day on the trails swapping "fishing stories". We'd talk about the good and bad of our different Jeeps. No matter rich or poor, male or female, our Jeeps are what brought us together. It was a good time.Ok let me spell it out.
1. Another jeeper brought up the leather and i posted my seat pic in response. I didnt complain about the leather, I dont really care about it bc I step on my seats. Its a jeep. I prefer the cloth but it wasnt a choice.
2. I must have confused people, given all the models and all the color choices for seats, dash, ect... I think jeep "failed" by not allowing us to make color combos we like & instead get stuck with dashes we dont like when our color choice dash IS available on another model.
3. Its not "apples and oranges" to me. Quality control wasnt my topic. Lipstick and trim was. If I deviated here or there, my sincere apologies.
My post was written with a heart full of 30+ years of jeep love and with a smile on my face. I got personal attacks in return.
So be it.
And saddle brown w a gray dash? Never gonna look good IMO.
But many of the new generation of Jeep folks are assholes. They are envious of those with nicer/better/newer Jeeps. They don't stop to help those in trouble on the trail. They push past slower groups as their time is more precious. They don't practice tread-lightly. They can't be honest that our Jeeps are a love/hate - they do some stuff great and some stuff is a WTF was Jeep thinking?
The responses to your post is proof of this. It's also a sad reflection on what the community has become. Also a sad reflection on what society has become. It's all about hate, cancelling those with opposing views, and being Kyle's and Karens.
Thanks for your post - it was pretty much bang on. And it showed me about 15 users on here I can happily ignore as they will never have anything worthwhile reading.
Enjoy the 392. Hopefully it keeps you happy for awhile
