Geeez lots of ruffled feathers...reminder the thread is called what you would not put on your jeep.

That said Im not a fan of plastic aftermarket fenders. I'm actually tring to get rid of all the plastic on the jeep. Yes they may look cool or even have some function to them, you might as well keep saving and get steel ones.

20's, no need for that on a jeep! Spare tire covers, people with 37's and no fender flares, automatics, soccer mom rubicons (hmmm this button says locker wonder what that is)

I hate that nobody waves......

Roof racks dont bother me, I have a two door so we need the storage

Nobody waves near me either. Really makes me mad sometimes. I get stuck waving like a tard at someone staring at me with a scowl.

Not only is all of that true........but last time I checked its not necessry nor am I spending the money to put Dana 60's or a Ford rear end on my jeep just to run 33's.

My jeep is used for my own purpose! I love camping, fishing, Outer Banks (beaches) things of that nature! 4WD is used yes! I dont necessarily go off roading on trails and stuff ( probably cause there are no trails in MD!)

Also, jeeps are convertables so there is the "cruising factor"

Just my 2 sense.
