Such is life. But, if it means I can still enjoy my jeep.....it's worth it.
Ever see a hard top 4-door with half doors? I feel your pain, buddy!!

Oh I forgot the one thing that drives me absolutely crazy on any Jeep or car for that matter is dealership stickers. If you want me to advertise for you I should be getting paid for it.
Oh and if you have testicles hanging from your jeep please purchase underwear for it.

But in my defense....... I like them; especially in comparison to all other steps I've seen that could replace them.
I agree with most of you as far as things you can't stand.
Here's my list:
Chrome
Lowered Jeeps
Half doors
Soft Tops that aren't taken care of/GRUNGY
Anything that admits you're an Obama supporter stuck all over your jeep
People who don't wave back (I always feel like I'm that person that sorta does a half wave and when the other person isn't looking or doesn't wave back, I act like I'm reaching for something)
Lifted Jeeps with too small of tires. IE, a 4 inch lift with stock tires - you know what I'm talking about!

I dont plan on rock crawling since I live on Long Island and its all sand. If I ever do however, Ill buy the rails and put them on before I hit the trails.

Now just getting a tire the same diameter as the ones I'm running may make more sense than leaving the little Steelie and the stock tire, and would be way more practical!

And as for my list, they probably have all been said...
Truck nuts
Chrome
Lowering kit
Low pro tires on big ass wheels
Chrome
Mismatching spares
Spare tire cover
Angry eyes
Chrome
Headlight eyelashes
Color matched hardtop (black only)
Chrome
Under carriage neon lights
Stinger...I understand the need....I just wouldn't get one. More I'd get is the PSC brawler bar
Snorkel...again, I understand the need....just not for me
Blacked out headlights/taillights
There's probably more, but this is the majority

Ok, I hate road queens. I know mine is brand new and I want to keep it looking good for as long as possible but it's the first brand new vehicle I have ever owned and I'm proud of myself for choosing a jeep to do it with.
I can't stand big tall bling wheels and low profile off road tires. There's an oxymoron if I ever heard one(low profile off road tires). I'd rather stay stock !!!
