Sort of like a fake Rolex. Only people who don't know the real thing will fall for it and be impressed and a real Rolex owner will think you're a fool.

There is a road princess that parks at the mall I work at. It's a jku sport with rubicon stickers on it. I asked if he wanted to hit some trails one day and he told me probably never will go off road. Why buy a jeep then is my question.

Maybe they like the look of the jeep? Or the fact they can go topless or many other reasons.....who cares as long as there is a demand for jeeps they'll keep making them. That's good news for all of us

Ya you see them at a few places. Even in dealerships. I think that would be fraud if the buyer was not told. Anyway I don't need a sticker to tell people my Jeep is bad ass. I built a x into a bad ass and will stack it up to any rubi out there.
