As a fellow tried and true Rush fan, I have also received my share criticism and questioning on my choices. People just want to talk crap about others. Makes them feel better about themselves.Because people love to criticize.
I have a coworker that sounds the same too. Deliberate attempt to piss me off.Sounds like my son in law ?

I've the identical decal on my Suzuki's headlight shell.
Do a shake down on the nuts and bolts. Look at your swaybar links and ball joint castle nuts specifically.I saw this title of the thread and knew I had to post here for a non off-road incident.
Was driving into work early this morning before anyone else and forgot the access road in has a LARGE speedbump. Hit it at about 30mph. Vehicle seems ok but steering slightly looser (maybe my imagination).
I'm pretty handy, but I don't know what to look for as far as possible axle damage. Any advice/thoughts? Could I have blown the steering damper that was part of the recall? Feel free to shame me for possibly injuring the Jeep basically in a parking lot![]()
Use it hard, spend hard. A concept many young ones haven't quite come to realize.How very true!! Anything on the water, raced, or used off road is a money pit for sure. It's not just limited to the Jeeps.
Is that anything like playing desert golf with a AR-15 with a grenade launcher?Buying a Wrangler and not taking it off road is like playing snooker with golf clubs.
The Wrangler is a functional vehicle (Function over form).
You are not alone, 95% or more are winch poser. I try and never use my winch.I will put it out there.
I got the winch bc it looked bada$$ with my bumper. I will never use it. Im actually afraid of them. However, if someone was in a jam, I would def allow them to use Her Highness and her winch. I'm a winch poser.
I have read the Art of War by Sun-Tau. I also enjoyed The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. Both books are books that should be read a couple pages at a time and then pondered upon and attempt to understand the wisdom within the message so they can be properly applied to life.Hey? Contradicting yourself? You just let everyone know!They probably figured it out about 800 post back anyway. Your replies are pretty quick wit. That was a dead give away!
Your Gram probably read the Art of War by Sun-Tzu.
In all honesty, the Jeep is way cheaper to maintain than a SxS, and overall cost is way cheaper than a SxS. I think the front brake pads on my SxS were like $80 and lasted about 600 miles. The drive belt was $250 and I could go through a couple in a year if I drove it hard. The tie rod ends, were expensive, the coolant was $12 a pint. I broke one of the rear axles, that caused some other damage too. It was $1300 with me doing all the labor. The same cost as taking my Jeep to the shop and having the ring and pinion replaced after ripping two feet off the pinion gear, and all the bearing in the rear replaced. Now a SxS is almost the same cost as a JL sport 2dr. Yet, a SxS is whipped at less than 10,000 miles. Think about that for a minute.Non Offroad shaming now that’s just funny. Been wheeling moderately now for 3 years and I must say it’s been good times but I’m getting burned out. Can’t get myself to spend anymore on this shit. And I’ve spent quite a bit of cash.
Took the Jeep in for the steering box and a fuel line warranty and they tell me my tie rod ends are worn. With 25k miles ??. For a hardcore wheeler no problem what’s another 300 in parts and a few hours of wrenching? But we all know it won’t stop there. Drag link ends, pitman arm, control arms, ball joints, it never ends.
The non Offroad doesn’t worth about this shit so I don’t share them at all!
I have to admit....our BMWs got way way more compliments. Haven't gotten but 2 on the Jeep, and one was from my 73 year old Dad who surprisingly likes it a lot! My mom didn't even have much to say about it.
The reason is because people love status. Or they hate yellow cars! But seriously, they do love status, and foreign cars convey status. A boring black BMW sedan is a status symbol. A bright yellow Jeep is just a jeep. )
Easily explainable, Luxury vehicles belong to a different crowd.
The Jeep in its coolness and affordable prices ''before just a few years ago'' please people from red necks to teenagers to ''normal'' people. And these people don't hesitate to compliment a Jeep owner.
Higher end BMWs, Porsches and more exotics trigger more jealousy and besides teenagers that know cars, people are too proud to acknowledge these vehicles.....
Every time I drove the 911, I saw people point at my car from far, but force themselves to ignore me as I drive by them. In the Jeep, I get thumbs-up all the time.
