And for the record, some of you guys sound like people I encounter that ask in a similar tone "why would you take a jeep worth over $50k off roading? who would do that?"

If I have to explain this further, as the phrase goes, you won't understand. Loosen up guys, it a jeep. His jeep, his money, his life. At least he is living it.

Cheers!
I agree with you! It is kinda funny you mention running through the rain. What do some of those people do in the shower? Life is really too short to give a...

no. You teach a child that of you work hard, you can buy/build something. Then you teach them that can enjoy life. Then you continue teaching them to understand when they tax anything, it may/will break. Then you teach them if they don't have the money to fix it, don't break it. If they have the means to fix it, accept your actions and put forth the effort o make it right. Then, you keep teaching your kid that others aren't as fortunate, but, you as a parent taught them to work hard, smart, enjoy what they have worked for, fix what they break, accept the decisions they made, and carry on because it's only money and material possessions. Then, you teach the kid about the other 999,999 things about life.

True, plus it is all relative. some people can't imagine driving a 50k jkur hard, for me thats what it is for and why you pay so much....new jeeps that go for 100k plus around CO (not very rare) would be crazy for me to go and get pinstriping and scratches/dents, but hopefully whomever buys them uses them.

the guy in the vid is still a douche and can't drive though

Spot on. You teach them to be responsible. Being responsible doesn't mean you can't absolutely trash something you own for no reason- even if someone else, or even everyone else for that matter, thinks it's stupid. It just means that you don't do something you can't afford, don't try to break something you can't afford to lose, and that if and when you do break something you, you step up and take ownership of the consequences. Nothing more, nothing less. Provided he isn't trespassing, I couldn't care less. Hope he had fun. I wouldn't do that, but life is too short to live based on other peoples standards. Laws excluded, of course.

Would I do that to my Jeep? Heck no! With someone else in their Jeep? Hell yes!!! I remember being a kid and loving riding through puddles on my bike, heck, even jumping in them. It looked like tons of fun! I'm sure his son will never forget the fun he had with his dad. I bet he'll have his own Jeep one day.

IMO some of the comments on here are a little outlandish. He bought a jeep, is using that jeep for the purpose he intended it for.
Why does it matter that he is "trashing it?" It's his jeep and his idea of using it, it isn't for everyone but he is having a blast doing it. He bought it to go through puddles, mud, and ice lakes hehe.
I bought my jeep to take off roading too. When there is mud I go through it, when rocks I go over them, the purpose of my jeep is to help me live life with my family and create memories. All these materialistic things can be replaced, but the memories I make with my wife and kids will last a lifetime.
To each their own with the purpose of their things. It sounds like some here bought there jeep to put shiny wheels on and drive to the mall with. Again to each their own.
