Default Not the jeep but the driver

Just starting this so people can see even if they throw 15,000 in there jeep doesn't mean they can do anything. This is the biggest thing I hate cause I usually see the Rich kids getting their parents credit card buying something or getting someone to put the stuff on for them. Then they go out and try wheeling and do it terribly. Driving experience and knowledge doubles your jeeps capabilities.

Im not poor. I'm getting to the point where my jeep is perfect for what I put it through. I'm just saying I hate the people that buy a jeep and instantly think they're Rock crawlers and off road beasts.

Very true. You really can't buy experience. Most of the rich kids are all show and no go anyway. Enjoy your Jeep and learn from difficult situations.

Haha I'm just playing man. I get what you're saying a lot of my friends have more than 20 grand poured into their trucks and have never been off road. Makes me angry too.

Ya I just figure people can look at this and maybe stray away from spending a lot and gradually get into it.

Kinda random, but I agree. I hate credit card Jeeps. Time in the seat is hard to beat.

I just got my Cherokee in October, and I haven't been off road YET, I won't even think of putting "off road" stickers on it, because that's totally false advertising LOL.........the only off road reference is on the mirror cover on my passenger side sun visor, and it says" Hang on.... I want to try something" figure that should keep certain people quiet about my driving hahahahaha Hope to be able to start my off roading soon though, not sure about the guy who's been helping me work on it and how happy he will be.....

one of the kids down the street from me got his parents to buy him a really nice lifted 97 tj with a ton of upgrades and money poured into it. i took him off-roading with me and he stalled every time he had to relatively crawl over something and wouldn't go through any of the longer mud puddles cause he didn't want it getting to dirty.

No, Its a 05 cbr 600rr, with lots of "racing" parts lol. Sadly I may love the bike more than I love my jeep.

I may have misunderstood your first post. My bad.
