I'm not hating on it though, just trying to understand the rationale. Just a bit ago I saw a bone stock gecko green sport with angry eyes. Was not a fan haha. If you're going to have the angry eye thing going at least have an overall aggressively modded rig like Zroe in my opinion...

Not a fan myself. I'm more traditional with my steelies and KC Lights. But I've seen a couple that pulled it off.

I like mine. Sometimes people get things just for looks. Who cares what people put on their Jeeps. Jeeps are meant to mod however the owner wants.

Agreed and spot on! Your rig looks spot on, too!

I really don't understand the need for "aggressively" modded rigs and angry eyes. Then again I don't understand the need for park benches on Honda accords either. I guess the aftermarket has finally run amok for Jeeps. Ive been into jeeps for a long time. I looked at jeep mags when my dad had his CJ and never was their crap like this. Its sickening. Im a purist, a traditionalist and I will never understand or accept these stupid mods.

I really wish I could just come on here and read about jeeps and talk about jeeps without having to trudge through a bunch of crap about angry eyes and blacked out trying to be scary jeeps.

Anyone need torque specs or a tutorial on adjusting the drag link? Enough of this stupid mod bullshit.

To me it's sort of like, "I don't understand the <insert popular mod> craze", and it pretty much doesn't matter what the mod is. What makes the "angry eyes" a bridge too far? You're ok with a thousand other mods, but not THIS one? :thinking:

These days it seems almost radical for me to be driving a stock (looking) JKU.

FWIW I am not defending angry eyes or any other mod. But at least angry eyes don't have a significant detrimental effect on performance ... at least not during the day time. I suppose it's possible they reduce lighting performance, IDK.

Thanks for your support. You nailed it, very unpopular position here. Maybe I should go to wranglerforum.

I don't think you read my original post....

I think they look goofy but i also think the fully chromed ones or blacked out ones on a different colored jeep look goofy as well. I see people do a lot of what i would concider lazy / ugly / pointless mods / shitty work but in the end its their vehicle so if that is what they want to do what ever floats their boat. Does not mean i cant point it out to my friends and have a laugh at it tho : )
