There are many threads covering the plethora of mods for the JL, even one or two that mention the offroading adventures with stock JLs, but nothing that touches on those who plan on keeping their JL essentially stock. Now I've done some mild additions (backup lights, dash cams, locking hood latches, and the like) but I don't plan on changing wheels, tires, or bumpers. The reason I bought the Rubicon in the first place is that it had all the essential pieces I wanted off the lot. The Rubicon has more than enough capability for my off-road adventures, and enough reliability and comfort for the daily grind.
Maybe there's no thread because, who cares? I have yet to come across a thread titled What Didn't You Do To Your Jeep Today? Wouldn't that be a thrilling read? Ok... maybe not. I love my Jeep more than any other car I've owned. Each nick in the paint or the fenders tell a story. Taking the roof off for a midnight drive when it's 28 degrees out may call my sanity into question. I understand that for many the Wrangler is an easel on which to build YOUR Jeep, and that's great! But I sense an undercurrent of disdain for those who prefer to keep it as it is. Some go as far to say that stock Jeeps are for girls, and modded jeeps are for guys.
So... in this most renowned community of Jeep Wrangler aficionados, what say you? Those who mod their Wranglers, do you look upon us stock drivers with pity? When I pull pull up next to a heavily modded and lifted Jeep, is he not acknowledging me because my Jeep is stock? Is there a legion of stock Wrangler drivers with their unsung stories of adventures in the wild?
I pose this question not because of any insecurity, but I am curious. How many people out there love their Jeep just as they got it and plan to keep it that way?
