No Jeeps

[TxStetson]

Ugh, just realized this thread was revived... But I'll put my two cents in... the last real Jeep was made in 1985.

FIFY

Nah, it went downhill when they made the headlights square.

1985 was the last year of the CJ and 86 was when the Wrangler made it’s appearance with square headlights.

Wish I hadn’t sold my 85, but I was young and dumb, and thought the wrangler would be better because the commercials said so.

jeep bros are awful.
I miss the days when jeep owners were teenagers, strange women or chainsmoking scraggly men with strange conspiracy theories

I laughed my butt off at the Scraggly men with strange conspiracy theories. I guess I finally fit in.

I paid $4500.00 for our 94 YJ with 36K on the clock.........I wouldn't take less than 15K for it now.......and laugh if you want but they are pulling stupid money in all original un molested condition....

I don't own a jeep and don't want no ducks on my dash, but I do rais real ducks because I really like duck eggs!

How did Jeep ducking start?​

The movement now known as Jeep Ducking began in 2020, during the early days of COVID, in Ontario, Canada. After an ugly spat in a gas station parking lot, a Jeep owner named Allison Parliament needed to rely on a friend for a much-needed pit stop to calm down before continuing on the road.

To thank her friend, Parliament bought a bag of rubber duckies and hid them around his house as a joke before heading farther north into Canada to reach her family’s home. Before those ducks were scattered around an unsuspecting friend’s home, however, Parliament put a single yellow duck on a stranger’s Jeep in the store’s parking lot, with a simple, sweet note saying “nice Jeep.”

The owner of that Jeep saw her and laughed then suggested that she post about it on social media. She did, and that was the birth of a movement that now has more than 73,000 fans (and growing) on Facebook. How’s that for an answer to the eternal question, What is community? Parliament’s social media group is now the official Jeep duck account recognized by Jeep itself!

I guess my just aint pretty enough for ducks. "Desert Pinestripes", well used Rock Sliders, scratches, scuffs, and rock rashed tires.
She has been tested and passed more than once.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That about sums it up.

I'm more of a spent brass on the dash of my Dodge kind of guy.

Meh - bought a '20 Gladiator in December. Wanted something to knock around in as well as take to the lease/ranch, range - or whatever the hell else I wanted to. Since it's a "toy"....wrote a check for it - don't like debt. So far the only mod I've done is replace tires and remove that plastic front air dam so I could install a front receiver hitch for my road feeder. Next is to find a rifle rack I like, and likely some LED lights once I decide if I want to mount them high or low - along with a couple of LED lights pointing to the rear.
This thing had never been off road, as evidence by the highway tread tires, which were replaced the week after I bought it.....lol

'86 was the last year of the CJ7, the square headlight abomination YJ started in '87. I had an '89 nicknamed PUCKER...picture a crushed and straightened (repeat many times) coors light can...that was my Jeep!! In the end, the only real Jeep parts were the gearbox and the front grille LOL. I only know this because I used to be about all things Jeep. I had a 1948 CJ2a that was MINT! Actually it was more peachy pink...but that's a story for another time...I should NOT have sold that one!

I needed something for the lease, after pricing side by sides I found a 09 Wrangler x. It does everything ask of it, well I might add.

Times have changed..... and in many ways, not for the better.

 

[Lonesome Dove]

I owned one way before they went Ducks. I think this was a 1990 just before the efi throttlebodies. It was my hunting vehicle mostly. It changed alot over the years.

 

[cycleguy2300]

Got this a while back kinda as a replacement.
