Default Types or style of JK's?

So how many styles do our Jeep JKs have? Rock Crawler? Desert Crawler? Mall crawler? Safari style? Cuz not everyone wants a rock crawler with 37's..


What do you have?

I'm going for an expedition, utilitarian look and function. Not much rock crawling in the midwest.

Expedition fits my needs best these days since most of my wheeling is destination or purpose specific (hunting, fishing, camping, etc.).

The days of rockcrawling just for fun ended 12 years ago when the kids started showing up. Now, I can't afford to break'em on Saturday and fix'em on Sunday anymore.

DIdnt mean anything by it, it just seems rock crawler is the most popular look that people have or want to attain.

To each there own with no disrespect!

Kinda going for a "badass" look with a little "I bet I can make it through that" thrown in...

In all seriousness (jeep owners are serious?)... I just want my jeep to get me & all my stuff where I want to go, namely fishing, hiking, camping, and sometimes to the office

There are a lot more looks than that and the most popular is probably pretty close to stock, they just don't spend as much time on the forums. Trail rig would probably be next or street/show rig but camping /fishing would be close. The rock crawler is pretty specific to area and really not practical to most of the country. I would guess more guys are set up for swamping than rocks. Personally I'm headed for a trail rig with a lot of DD functionality.
