Just about everything on this Jeep…

I kind of get the aesthetic, but a PT cruiser nails it and i'm sure you can get one in a crackerjack box.

Also, I always lol when I see someone who bought $50k in mods out of a catalog trying to flex that they did it instead of just buying a $30k jeep+$50k priced car outright. I think "built not bought" only counts if you did your own fabrication.

Departure angle? Also look at the shadow of the steps.

My wife is from UT Austin. Our Crosstrek is burnt orange, and if they released the Bronco in orange it would be too!

Edit: Cyber Orange is a pretty yellow and obviously does not count :confused:

I’m on the same page except for “orange”??
His name is Gamecock....orange is for Clemson or Tennessee. Two SC rival schools. It's a southern thing.

I actually second this one. When I bought my first car, an '88 Bronco, it had those loop style steps on it. Being 15 and really new to having my own off road truck, it never occurred to me that those were a huge issue, until I snapped it off messing around on a bunch of dirt piles during lunch one day. I laughed it off, pulled the other side off the truck, and learned from it. Putting on accessories that will CAUSE problems off road would usually baffle me, but then I realize they still haven't learned the hard way.

Roof tents.
Because a ground tent doesn't look as cool. I mean, you could also probably just put your ground tent on a plywood board on your roof of you're still worried about sabertooth tigers and other ground predators.

I have to admit, I had to google whistle tips and Carolina squat. I had no idea either of those were a thing.

Only thing that I could this mod being good for is an oil change.
I imagine for the street you get more weight on the drive wheels if your trying to blow someone off the line. Pickem'up trucks in general are too light weight over the drive wheels to get drag racing grip. Looks stupid though 😏
2wd Pre-runner trucks do the same (not as extreme ) to get weight transfer to the drive wheels.

Two pics I ran across.
One is awesome even if slightly ridiculous.
The other is ridiculous and obnoxious.
I’ll let y’all fight over which is which.
we haven’t had any arguments up in here in at least a few hours.

You can always fallback to "I made this mod because I needed this functionality for this purpose." Classic solid reasoning that also bolsters the add-on, "and it looks really cool."
I’m under the impression that anything you built yourself is kinda cool, even if your fabrication skills aren’t the best. Yeah, I’ll make fun of yours welds... make jokes about it being crooked... roll my eyes at the runs in the paint... and seriously question the design. At the end of the day though, I’m gonna respect the effort and the fact that you didn’t just follow the rest of the pack.

most people never will use these vehicles to their full potential. for the amount of units sold compared to the amount which will ever see a trail you are probably looking at less than 5% being off roaded. when all is said and done, unless it impairs actual road safety making the vehicle dangerous to others. let people have their fun. just remember all the stupid feces you see on someone else's car was made and sold, so it provided someone a job. comedians need jobs just like engineers..
