Why do Jeep owners hate us??

[Philvis77]

Except the actual credit for the original Jeep goes to American Bantam. Read up, it's an interesting story.

If you're ever in Huntsville, you can check out the original Ford prototype, S/N 1 at the U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum. They also have the first Humvee prototype there.

I frequently complement Bronco owners on their rides....usually to get a smile and wave. I drive a 392 Wrangler and The Bronco Raptor Bros are the only ones I have ever had act the way you describe. To be fair, I do not have a row of ducks on the dash, or have a bunch of cutesy crap all over my Jeep. I've been a Jeep owner since the 90's when I could buy my first one. I would have gotten a Bronco, but I refused to pay the 20% over sticker that the local Ford dealerships were asking!

My last jeep had all that stuff but i never noticed untill others would point out the little guy climbing a mountain and other stuff.
Broncos of the ninties were just suv's not intended for off road you could not even get one with any real off road essenstials not even limited slip front back just in the back. This new Bronco is Bronco 100% can do not intended for beer rins on pavement but on any terrain.

There's just a lot of idiots that run Jeeps who don't know how to coexist with someone not like them. I've met a lot who don't hate Bronco owners, and they've even admitted they really like them.

I wonder how mad the jeep owners would get, if you put a few rubber ducks on the dash of your bronco?

I haven't run into any problems with jeep owners, except for one guy in wrangler who tailgated me for no reason on the state highway. I put the pedal to the floor and my 2.7 destroyed him.

Only been flipped off once in my bronco. It was coming home, and there was this JK coming the other way...
Of course it was my wife.
When I had my H2, I was constantly being flipped off by Karens in eco skateboards and mini vans.

Some of you live in some strange places. There is no flipping off going on around here. This is a Jeep country. I've seen exactly TWO Broncos (beside mine) in this county. Tons of Jeeps. Most of them are not "off roaders", but here in the mountains of Idaho, one needs a 4x4 to get around in the winter.

To paraphrase Billy Bob's Landman character: "Do you know why we all wave to each other around here? It's not that we're so overly friendly, but everyone is armed, and nobody wants to get shot."

No "flipping off". Never.

I probably should have been clearer....my 90's rides were Jeeps. I refused to pay for the premium for the new Bronco's, as the gouging was ridiculous here. It still is! Anytime you have a design that has good function and fantastic form, I will tip my hat to you.

While getting my Bronco oil change yesterday, was thinking of putting a small rubber duck in the restroom of the Ford dealership,
and what kind of riot that would start! Aso, if any of the dealership employees are on this forum.

Seeing this, at a pub a few months ago, is what made me think of it.

Naah, I've got better things to do....like dig some more rocks outta my GY tires.

When on the road, I wave to my species... off road, I wave to all wheeler's. Been involved on a couple of off road rescue's. Where I helped out someone. So rules of the trail, wave, be courteous, and you never know, that next guy might help you out in a pinch.

 

[3People1Body]

I can't recall any Jeep wanting to run red lights... Now, they don't all wave back, but overall I find them friendly.

Actually had a woman in a pretty nice 2 door Rubicon follow me into a Tractor Supply parking lot to tell me how awesome my 2 Door Bronco looked with its doors off. Said she had never seen anyone take them off. Her top and doors were also off on her Jeep. We chatted for a bit about thats why we bought these things and parted ways. She did not have any ducks on her Jeep that I saw either. Maybe its the ones with Ducks that are unstable.

I saw ducks on a Bronco dashboard this week

That's nothing. I know a guy who saw Jesus on a piece of toast.

what about the little guy climbing the mountain or the gold paner, all were on mine

 

[mdBr0nc0]

I'm thinking it has something to do with the lack of rubber ducks.

It absolutely has something to do with those damn ducks! I had to pry them out of my daughter’s hand when I traded the Jeep for a Bronco. Once the fever subsided, she never looked back.

A bunch of voodoo dust on those things!!!!

 

[not on the rug]

The amount of ducks on a jeep owner's dashboard is a representation of how many men he's, um, been with.
