Hey have to keep the brand profitable, right?
My Sahara didn't come with chrome all over it, no color matched top, and the fenders do match (Oh the horror!!! ) I haven't taken it extreme offroading as I'm waiting til I get a nice lift. In the mean time I go driving though the woods. I am not a mom and for the not fitting into the culture... I learned to drive in a TJ, my dad has only had a Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, TJ, and a Liberty since I've been around. My mom drives a Compass. My husband and I between us have my JK, his Liberty and two Cherokees (one with a diesel engine out of a Scout) Too bad I'm not ito Jeep culture.

All types of people buy Jeeps, which makes each of them awesome people. Even people who think they are better than others

People buy jeeps for all different reasons. Many of us don't live in the middle of nowhere so you buy a jeep and mod or no mod. A jeep is a jeep.

For those who didn't know Off Road Evolutions EVO1 started out life as a Silver Sahara and I like most would consider it anything but a Mall Crawler.

So since my X is lower than a Sahara rankings I must only get to crawl at the Kindercare.

Maybe I can challenge some big wheels to the sandbox tomorrow.

I think Benny was just poken fun. If not shame on you Benny!

No offense.... If anyone has been offended by any of my comments in this thread, you need to get thicker skin or lighten up.

Its easy to see he's trolling.

Part of the reason why the JK unlimited is so successful is because they can be used in so many different ways. From picking up groceries, cruising around with the fam and the top down on a sunny day, to towing some toys, to playing in the mud. The JK has it all covered.

I love the people who deliberately miss the point....

jsears, your Jeep is just as awesome as everyone elses.... the fact that it is more awesome to you is what makes it special.....

JK, JKu, TJ, CJ ...2012...2011....soccer mom, factory worker, CEO, second coming of the messiah... what does it matter?
