Thngs you'll never do to your Jeep. The critic's thread.
1. People that hack up their Jeep with horribly done fender trimming, or an extended wheelbase with hacked up sheetmetal. If you don't have the skills to do it right, don't do it at all.
2. LS motor swaps. Its a Mopar, keep it that way, or buy a Chevy to go wheeling in.
3. Not a fan of big wheels. Wheels should be no bigger than half the size of the tire. If you want to run 20s, buy a set of 40s to go with them.
4. An offroad vehicle that is lowered for street use.

I hate when guys have a nice lifted jeep but they tint the front windows really dark so you don't know if they're actually waving back or not...or maybe they do it as an excuse not to wave.
Being a highly opinionated person, let me start off by saying if it's your Jeep, do whatever you want, and please don't take offense because I might gore your cow below. Now, what I hate (some will probably surprise many) ...
1. LED lights. Sorry folks, but Jeep headlights are round. That was decided in a most definitive way with the YJ and its rejection by the Jeep fans of the time. And, sorry, but round replacement LED headlights look downright goofy--even goofier than the stock headlights, which are pretty goofy to begin with. The best headlights I've found are the IPFs--they look like they belong on a Jeep, and they put out a proper beam pattern. If you've got LED headlights, don't expect my admiration.
2. Not that all stock things are bad. Because, in the case of fenders, the only decent looking fenders are the stockers. Sorry all of you with no fenders, flat fenders, tube fenders, steampunk wannabe fenders: You won't find me admiring your build (and I love steampunk, just not on Jeeps).
3. Stingers. Another goofy looking thing. If you really drive your Jeep such that you need one, by all means do it. But don't expect me to admire that build, either.
4. Tacked on interior appointments. I mean things added to the interior with no thought to integrating it to the original Jeep design. This includes CB radios screwed to the console, that "must have" oil gauge that doesn't match the other gauges (VDO makes near-perfect matches, BTW) that's screwed to the top of the dash, etc. If you're going to modify your Jeep, at least keep it consistent with the design choices made by the Jeep engineers (and there are two styles of common switches--pick the right one based on which interior you have!).
5. Bosch Icon windshield wiper blades. I hear they are the best wipers for winter climates. But, they are ugly. Correction: They are U-G-L-Y. Someone please make a wiper as good as these allegedly are, but that looks decent.
