It's a Jeep thing. Since all of you who don't like the commercial now own one, we'll give you a little time to figure that out for yourself. You can start your training here:

I agree it is just a commercial but what about the whole tread lightly stuff that we all preach on the trail? It just looks like they are giving all of us a bad name by showing things like that.

Bottom line for them is the commercial SELLS JEEPS. That's all they care about. I kinda like it....I mean it's funny. Like I said somewhere else....looks like they are members of the "40MPH" wheelin club.

I agree, I like the commercial alot. The "do not attempt" and 100 mph water fording doesnt really bother me. Like most commercials, its marketing and entertainment with the usual legal CYA statements thrown in.

It's just a commercial, and a funny one at that.

I would rather see commercials like that then all the stuff
on birth control, bloating, diarrhea, and weak bladder.

They should have a commercial with that dude who got a branch to the gut after a tree came through his firewall! If you're out there, man, no disrespect I read all your posts and I'm glad you weren't critically injured...I'm just goofin'. I don't care if anyone agrees with me or not on this commercial. I just want to see what others think. You know, something to talk about.

It's on all the tim here and I noticed the "Do Not Attempt" at the bottom as well.

Now that I have a Jeep I realize that this commercial is like a case study of what not to do in your Jeep or better yet: how to void your warranty. I was just wondering if anyone else had an opinion on this commercial. For the record I think the commercial is misleading. What do you think?
are you kidding me? they didnt do anything in the commercial to void your warranty...

plus I've done much of the same in my JK, so I loved the commercial. made me think of being out playing.
