Jeep fail

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.

I trust you're not including me in this group. I have never attacked the OP. I just disagree with her, and have tried to express that disagreement in a civil manner.

Yes it should always have the option of matching the exterior! ALWAYS!

I probably would have ordered another color if this was a choice. Too bad it's not.

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.

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.…

Ouch. What a discouraging perspective. I’m more optimistic.

I bought my first new Jeep, a 1977 CJ7, for $7450. I loved it, and I’ve been attached to Jeeps ever since.

My 2019 JLUR is my 8th Wrangler/CJ. We’ve also had a handful of other Jeep SUVs, including the diesel Grand Cherokee which is our current grocery-getter and grandchild Wagon.

In the 60s and 70s, Jeeps weren’t a status symbol or a social center. The “cool“ people bought hot rods, and wealthy people bought luxury cars. I had never heard of the phrase “tread lightly” until the 90s. (Wilderness was abundant, city people stayed mostly in the cities, we could drive on the beach almost everywhere, and the world was MUCH less crowded and regulated. We didn’t even need spring-loaded, half-twist, EPA-certified, nozzles on our gas cans to stop us from pouring gas all over the driveway.)

It’s different now. Jeeps and the people who buy them have evolved A LOT. The same is true of pickups, dive watches, and hundreds of other things that were designed for a particular purpose, but have been coopted as an image component. I don’t understand this evolution, and Jeep owners don’t look like they used to, but I still find mostly great people driving Jeeps. We’re still a friendly, enthusiastic group of people, most of whom are quick to help.

Manners aren’t uniformly trained and enforced the way they used to be in the 50s and 60s, so, as a group, Americans aren’t as polite as we used to be. The internet also seems to reduce civility — but most Jeepers, including the vast majority of folks on this forum, are kind, considerate on the trail, and quick to offer help.

Absolutely, applause!

Go get em girl!

And I was just hoping for a 392 2-door for Christmas...

Agree on the red, I replaced my Rubi dash inserts with the black leather ones w/red stitching-big improvement IMO.

Can you give me the part number for the black leather W/Red Stitching? I think I would like to change the passenger side panel on our 2021 JL Rubicon in Nacho. The color clash is pretty shocking.

Here ya go: 6AC2 61R3 AD-001 and 6AC2 41R3 AA-001. If you do not have the leather package, the matching leather dash pad is: 6AC1 21R3 AC-001.
Now we all know that Mopar changes their part numbers due to changes in vendors but these worked for my 20' JLR and I suspect if they supersede to another part number, they would still fit just fine.

Now you can get gecko with that red dash. Like wtf Jeep.

LOL! I've got a Gecko JLU Rubi on order, and yes it has the red dash.... I gotta say, I'm excited! And if I get sick of it then I'll do something to change the red dash.

For background, I own a watch company and design watches for a living. A big part of that is dealing with colors. Been doing this for many years, and I can say that no matter how many colors we offer there will ALWAYS be customers complaining that we didn't offer color X in combo with Color Y.....

As far as your post goes, I think it makes for entertaining reading! You be you, and voice your opinion! Life's too short to get our feathers ruffled over something like this. Just find the humor in it, which I think is the spirit in which you intended it anyway!

Now, congrats on that 392!!!

Just an observation chickadee, have you considered becoming a lobbyist? You seem to have worked this room pretty good.
