Yes I vented about some Issues on this thread that I find annoying because that's what this thread is about. Some of which where meant to be funny. FYI I have driven the "Rio Puerco" before making one of my passengers puke. Very proud of that. If you are from the Albuquerque area you know there are parts of the Rio Puerco that are more difficult than Moab.

PS I forgot to mention:

that evap canister ... annoying.

that cylinder thing in the 2012 + under the front bumper I don't know what its for but really behind a bumper that any real Jeeper would change.

Chrome still bad unless its a car made before 1933 and then white walls may be exceptable too.

LOL
Its a vacume pump to assist with the braking. the 3.6 dosent create enough vacume on its own to properly assist the brake booster so a vacume pump was needed also.

Actually I think this thread is supposed to be about MODS you don't approve of, but you decided to make it a giant rant about everything related to your Jeep and JKs in general that is not to your very narrow and specific taste.

Default Thngs you'll never do to your Jeep. The critic's thread.

1. Tube bumpers- ugly
2. Painted matching interior pieces- too 90's

3. Thinking one mud tire is actually going to get you any further the any other brand

4. Buying a 40k vehicle and hammering it offroad, in rocks or through mud pits with no doors or top on - probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard or seen. Buy an old POS for that. These ass hats that come off the trails bragging about body damage on a brand new vehicle and putting down guys smart enough not to destroy a 40k investment.

Oh ok thanks. It's still in a stupid place and Christler should have known that since they did put some light armor on the evap canister. I have a relative in the body shop business and he found out that car manufactures really don't care about body repairs and so will put stuff where ever they see fit.

Thanks again.

[QUOTE="robsjeep9;4199189"] Lol bottom line is as much as there is wrong with jeeps be it from the manufacturer or the mods we add(or wouldn't add as per this thread) WE ALL still love jeeps or we wouldn't have one So do what you want with yours and be proud ..... There will always be haters and mall crawlers(for those against us building our jeeps and then heaven forbid rock climbing with them). At the end of the day do others opinions really matter when it comes down to your jeep? They shouldn't

Lol i saw that long list and there's a lot of good stuff on it. It's hilarious though to see all the (for lack of a better word), "manly" comments but then see that rear view mirror cameras should be standard lol.
