I would have to disagree with quite a few of those.

Stock jeep on a trailer. If I was taking a stock jeep to some of the places I offroad, Id want it on a trailer too. Not because it looks cool or because I think a jeep should be on a trailer, but because at the end if the day, I would know for sure that the jeep is going home with me, most likely broken.

Snorkels, I'm not a huge fan but they certainly have their usefulness. If I was someone who loves deep water, I'd have a snorkel

Light bars, what's wrong with them? I think they look awesome. And the club around me loves to do night runs. We certainly get use out of them. Yea they might get caught on trees, but again, they have their use and just be a bit more careful.

I like when hi lifts are mounted somewhere outside the jeep. They aren't always the best tool for the job but why not have one just in case. And they are sorta awkward to keep inside.

Guilty of only #6. But, the last time I used my light bar was last weekend in Big Bear. My lights are connected and are used.

X2 on that, sounds like someone who really does not know near as much as they think they do. My hunting lease is in the river bottom and a snorkel is a must and lights up high on a light bar help out a lot.

#7 got me too. But I redeemed myself by Plast-dipping my chrome grill that came stock.

Part of having a Jeep is making it look cool. Which unfortunately is a personal preference. A lot of mods are just for looks. If they are useful, bonus. Still beats driving a stock vehicle that will never have it's doors off, or hardtop removed.

But no low profile tires. That's just inexcusable.

I have a snorkel and wish I did not, it is really in the way.
