What's up with Jeep guys

[Rush4th]

I live right next to a jeep dealership. It's super fun to drive by when people are looking at jeeps to buy. EVERYBODY stops what they're doing and stares. Many people ask me to roll down the window and fires a million questions about the bronco when I'm stopped at the light. My response is always that it's worth the wait. The dealers must hate me.

I never get any disrespect in the bronco. There are those jeeps that try to race me, I don't understand cuz gas is freaking $7 a gallon..

Beautiful pics!!! Regardless of the knuckleheads, this state is unique and gorgeous. Both sides (and the Mts in-between) have their own beauty. My dad was stationed at Ft. Lewis right after i was born. This is my second stint here (20 yrs now). When the bronco comes in (soon?!?!), I'll be wheeling all areas - no waves necessary.

Then I'm sure you'll recognize that the pic with the parade field is the view from the I Corps Commanding General's house.

I'm a transplanted Texan who did 4 active duty tours here... retired here... and have spent the last 8 years working as a defense contractor on post. Western WA may be cray cray... but at least I have sanity at home and at work... and in my Bronco... lol

The "Wrangler Bros" here in Vegas are off their rocker - somehow believing they're "cooler" then everyone else since they're trendy, hipsters, like everyone else. That reflects negatively on their driving behaviors, obviously.

Also noticed that the more customized the Wrangler/Gladiator is, the more of a D bag they are.

With that, I'm glad the Bronco is out and starting to take over in the off-road community.

What, going off road?

No.

Here in Florida I give Jeeps a Jeep wave from my Bronco to see if they wave back. I got a few waves back when I first got my Bronco last December but recently Jeep owners are acting like they don't see me. Is there some secret animosity between Jeep and Bronco that I'm not aware of?

eh I haven't had a problem or bad vibe from anyone.....maybe it's my US Flag sticker......or maybe it's my Hk sticker......

I thought Samurai owners bought those for the image?

maybe deep down the Jeep owners fear being the the Samurai owner in relation to the Broncos now.

Dude. Your in Washington State. Y’all cray cray.

From someone that also lives in WA. This guy is right. It's a beautiful state (if you don't go to downtown Seattle) but we're all fucked here.

Is it really just jeep owners though? I don't get it much from jeeps here in socal. In fact most of them have compliments and a few invited me to hit the trails with them.

The only issues I run into is people in traffic gawking and slowing down as I'm trying to merge, yet another reason to f*ck the flow of traffic up here. That and people in my neighborhood make it a point to park so close to me that I have to an 8pt turn to get out of the spot when I park on the street. Why? People, that's why.

Title of the post says "Jeep guys"...
I see more women driving Jeeps than dudes

So what's the deal with the wrangler folks acting like fools towards bronco owners.

Jealousy is an ugly emotion. Possessive, needy, and insecure. That about wraps up the why some of them act as they do.

People discerning enough to recognize your HK sticker probably aren't the ones to worry about.

I'm a "Jeep guy" I guess since I bought a 22 Rubicon due to Ford's middle finger to early reservation holders. Whenever I see a Bronco all I do is break my neck looking and wiping drool off my chin! Guessing I don't count, lol.

Local radio station has a 2 door Big Bend in eruption green with a lift and 33's. I chase it around when I can in the Jeep signing up to win as they are giving it away at end of summer.

So be careful, some "Jeep guy" might crash in front of you because he can't stop looking and his eyes glaze over with Bronco dreams!

Happened to me more than once where I was approached by guys on the beach. The Moar Door is fairly common here as many opted for the softie to get a Bronco sooner. They say they have seen them around, but mine is the first that they have seen that looks like the original Broncos. They then will compliment the looks and proportions while offering up the criticism that something looks off about the others they have seen.

My biggest criticism of my Bronco is that it is a D_ck Magnet. It's always the guys that are enamored with the looks and approaching me to ask questions.

The Bronco is a pest strip!
