I'm not sure your reasoning for YOUR BACKGROUND--and my LIGIT STATUS !Hate to break it to you pal, I'm more legit than you. I've had jeeps for over 20 years, multiple cjs, currently own 2 other Jeeps besides my jlur and the attached, so just because I want my brand new 50k dd to be perfect and under warranty so I can play with and work on my toys doesn't mean I'm not a real off roader. I bought the rubi to drive to work, go camping and to pull this janky mofo out when it breaks if I can't fix it on the trail.
Enough of the "get off my lawn" garbage.
One of our members (probably more) has added Dana 60s and1-2k lift kits and 37+ tires. Probably a CB and on-board compressor, then better bumpers, a winch, and a grin from door to door. Do they approach 80k? Probably not, but they blow by 60k pretty easily.I've been saying we'll see a JLxx of some sort hitting $80k in the years to come....
Your post was not quoting anyone so appeared to be a general statement about jl owners that were not happy if their brand new jeep wasn't perfect not being real off roaders and disappointing. I think that's bs, you spend 35-50k, it better damn well be perfect.I'm not sure your reasoning for YOUR BACKGROUND--and my LIGIT STATUS !
Torero asked ME ABOUT MY DISAPPOINTMENT--So I told HIM--What's that got to do with YOU???
Whatever

You're confusing hot rodding with wanting basic stuff for a 2018 vehicle to work properly. A proper alignment, working tpms and not having excessive wind noise are basic requirements for a dd and there should be zero expectation that an owner fix it themselves on a brand new vehicle. Doesn't matter if you have decades of jeep ownership or it's your first.Jeeping has ALWAYS been like "HOT RODDING"-
You getta jeep and immediately start to make it YOURS--
It's kinda the American way, although not 100%
Whatever

Heh Heh, YUP--I'm looking forward to that-You're confusing hot rodding with wanting basic stuff for a 2018 vehicle to work properly.

What's funny to me is you consider the yj/tj/jk owners to be real off roaders. Back in the day us cj owners thought the square headlight jeepers were posers and the tjs were more caddies than jeeps, but you learn that they're all good in their own way and everyone has to start somewhere. Comes with maturity I guess, maybe you'll get that some day.
I don’t know why anyone would care either way.Jeeping has ALWAYS been like "HOT RODDING"-

Fixed it for you. Have you even looked at your own avatar?Hate to break it to you pal, I'm more douchier than you.
You got permission from your wife? How sweet... And legit.I'm ready to order a new JLUR, got permission from the wife, have the money, ready to go.
Great, now why don't you go out and put flat fenders and a budget boost on your RascalEnough of the "get off my lawn" garbage
My avatar is one of the last pics I have of my dad before he passed. If that makes me douchy in your eyes, well gfys.Fixed it for you. Have you even looked at your own avatar?

God dammit, that makes me jackass of the day. My sincerest apologies. The rest I stand by, calling yourself super legit is pretty lame. Also, you have to admit picture of that scooter is pretty funny LOL.My avatar is one of the last pics I have of my dad before he passed.
Thanks for the apology, but yeah it's my Ferrari so maybe that makes me a little inherently douchy. At least I spin my own wrenches on it - or hot rod it as jimbo says .God dammit, that makes me jackass of the day. My sincerest apologies.

Heh Heh, you kinda remind me of a "COLD SORE"-Thanks for the apology, but yeah it's my Ferrari so maybe that makes me a little inherently douchy. At least I spin my own wrenches on it - or hot rod it as jimbo says .
I was calling myself comparably legit - I mean come on, I wheel a rhd military land rover and he was calling yj/tj/jk drivers real off roaders and saying new jl owners are disappointing - I'm not super legit overall, just compared to jimbo
Well said dtd, amd yeah--the JL should really dig deep in to the off-road trails, butAnd another thing... I just learned a valuable lesson. Not to get in the middle of a cat fight, or you're likely to spray yourself. Lol. Honestly, I'm not a kid either and I could probably start planning a budget boost on my rascal. Also, I do think that you can be a real wheeler in a JL, and I have also seen garage Queens with leaf springs. I hope you all have a nice weekend and looking forward to sharing the JL experience with you all.
