I sold my JK today!!! Every time I would turn a corner I saw another JK with all the same mods as me. I got so frustrated with it I decided to sell it and put the extra money into my YJ. I have always loved my YJ's the most and look forward to building my 95!! So goodbye JKU I wont miss you that much at all, not to mention every soccer mom and banker driving around in a mall crawler!! Time to change my pics I guess!! You know JK owners aren't true jeepers when you drive your YJ and they don't wave back!!!

in the 70's Harley Davidson came damn close to shutting their doors forever. In the early 80's, some of the original Harley and Davidson family members bought Harley-Davidson from AMF.
They came out with a new engine and motorcycle designs. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY. ....ANYONE....RAISE YOUR HANDS PLEASE....THEY STARTED MARKETING TO THE DOCTORS AND LAWYERS AND WHITE COLLAR PEOPLE...because these people had money.
I had been riding Harleys about ten years already and I thought, what a bunch of crap...These dickheads don't know anything about being a biker or what it means.............They were mall crawlers... and I guess the old bikers were the cj and yj people.... I think moral of the story is....
History keeps repeating itself

Yes it does. I too, remember the AMF days. Although quality suffered a bit, at least they kept Harley alive long enough to be bought back. As for the discussion here...the dealerships/manufacturers need to sell units. As stated, they will sell to whoever has money/credit. Vehicles evolve over time and not always for the better. I love my YJ and loved my shovelhead. I wouldn't mind a TJ or an Evolution. Not a fan of the JK but only because everyone has one. To each his own. I'm glad to see this thread took a turn in the right direction. At the end of the day, we are all Jeepers with a passion for off roading. Just my 2 cents.

All I'm sayin is, most people that don't wave probably are just ignorant to that fact. They don't know any better. But when you go on forums where we all supposed to be connected, and try to say a certian group are fakes, its my opinion that you are doing more to harm the jeep community. It's one thing to not know any better. It's another to try to tear it apart from the inside. Let that soak in. Rant off.

Great post!

Like I said, I've had em all.....Willy's, Cj's, Yj's, Tj's, and now a new JKU.

I also had a couple old Broncos, that were far superior to the Jeeps, mechanically. The Jeep is more fun, but the Broncos....we talking '77 and older, ....just had better running gear than the Jeep or Scouts.


AND, it's more fun to "wheel" my Yamaha Rhino or Polaris Ranger in the Looziana swamps anyday....and a whole lot easier to clean up after....:bop:
