I like the Mojave— but I have, do, and will continue to make fun of gimmicks like fake hood scoops ( numerous), hood vents/heat extractors ( looking at you Rubi), exhaust tips (Audi, Mercedes, VW the worst offenders-but even Rolls Royce), fake outside or through the audio system ( Mustang), engine sounds, wings on junk that couldn’t possibly attain the speed where they do anything. I can’t remember when all the Phony crap got started. Heck— they couldn’t sell Superbirds/ Daytonas because people didn’t like the huge wing and aero. Even though they were functional and used to set a Bonneville speed record (216.945mph mi.) that held more than 20 years……Fake marketing gimmicks :swear:

On the way to the grocery store my wife asked, "why the F are you waving at all the jeeps".

Me: " well, they waved first, just being polite.

Then a week later she says, " did you know this jeep wave was a thing before you got this jeep".

Me: Holy shit, I should have stuck with Chevrolet, then I wouldn't be waving at anyone.

I feel a little dirty and need y’all to talk me down. I was coming up on a rail road track and as I was approaching, another Jeep was coming the other way. Because of the angles of the road I couldn’t tell until it was too late. Long story short, I waved at a Jeep with an angry grill. Help me get past this.
I need to work on my reading comprehension skills.....the first time I read it, I thought it said, "an angry girl", not grill.........I'm not sure which would have been worse.

We've all had that night where we had a little too much to drink and went home with someone we're not proud of. Yeah, ya feel a little dirty. But some day when you're older, you'll look back on it and smile.

Itll be ok, just need a little dirt therapy and maybe a shot or four of whiskey and youll be just fine.

Some think the JT isn't a "real" Jeep because its longer wheel base makes it less capable off road. However, the same can be said about the JLU. Only the 2 door owners have any grounds to judge.

Let he who is without four doors cast the first stone.
Amen

agree 100%....if it's not functional, don't put it on. another one of my pet peeves is when the bumper (not normally on jeeps though), have the cut-outs for fog lights, but the owner chose not to get the upgraded package that actually includes them, so they just have the black plastic "inserts" in place of the fog lights.

and on the eighth day (he had to take a day off before taking on this challenge), God created the 2-door Jeep, and he looked at what he had done, and said, "It is good........I'll never top that!"........

I'm good with the JT. My only thing is that with the stock, base model that wheelbase looks ridiculously long. But once you add a lift and larger tires I think the proportions work. I feel the same about the JLU as well.
The stock or sport (?) of the JT is disgusting. Although, I thought even the Rubicon was gross. I wanted to buy a JT because they had $3000 or $5000 cash back when I ordered my JL. I just couldn't come to like the thing.

Now, if you lift it, put 37+ wheels on, and add a bunch of gear to make it an overlanding vehicle, it's not as gross anymore. I like it then. I just couldn't see spending $30k after the fact. I thought I wouldn't spend anything else on my JLUR, I told my wife, "I won't have to do anything to it." $9900 later..... I'm almost done.

It gets tricky when you wave and it turns out to be a JT. LOL
Are there take backs??? ?
A JT is still a Jeep, the top comes off, the doors come off, the windshield folds down. Deserves a wave in my opinion.
To the OP, just go ahead and wave, when you can. Sometimes, you doing something else, stuffing a Big Mac into your pie hole, taking a drink, whatever. Sometimes, you are just looking at something else and don’t see them, or they might not see you.
It doesn’t matter.
Wave and move on, I usually don’t see them wave back, cause I’m not checking them out, the Jeep on the other hand, that I’ll check out.
One more thing, if your stuck in stop and go traffic, don’t wave to the Jeep in the other lane who keeps passing and then getting passed by you. That just gets bothersome.

Totally agree. The base models look silly, they need a lift and bigger tires. Mines on a 2” lift and 35’s. Gotta got it in the garage!
