"Still"???

 

Unexpected benefits of import tariffs on China?



I think they're going out of fashion and people are beginning to realize how cheap and tacky it looks.

 

I never thought of it like that but that's a good point haha

 

Stealth is in and angry grills are out:

Stealth Jeep Grill:

Out are angry grills:

Of course, tomorrow the fad and culture could change and what was was not and what was not was again. Fads and culture tend to go in every which direction the wind blows. Therefore, the Seven Bar Jeep Creed keeps Jeep orthodoxy firmly rooted throughout time.

 

Do they get enough air flow with those massive stealth grilles? They seem restrictive.

 

I went with Halo or Angel Eyes (innocent I tell you):

 

That color really suits your Jeep.

 

Angry eyes/grill mods were always a terrible choice.

In general, as a vehicle ages, people realize that the custom modifications they made to the appearance don't age well and they end up returning to an OEM look, which is almost always timeless.

Kinda like as the occupants age, those really high lifts aren't quite as cool.

 

Angry grilles were never in style. If you're seeing fewer on the road, that's a good thing.

 

They never were...

 

That's so 2008.

 

Angry Eye Grills are right up there with Punisher Skulls & Zombie stickers - lame.

 

That's how you know they meant business in WWII

 

Angry eyes still in style ? Since when they were in style ? Answer is "Never". Some people do things to their poor Jeeps, but that doesn't mean such things are in any style. Now with that said customize yours as you wish just don't get surprised at the comments good or bad about certain mods. Haters are going to hate and lovers are going to love and that is just the way it is. I would never do angry eyes cause i don't like that look but if i did, you can bet the house forum comments would not deter me from doing what i like/think it's best for my Jeep. It's your Jeep, Do whatever rocks your boat.

 

Not sure they were ever in style. A manufacturer came up with them as a mod, and people run to new mods. Unless I missed the 'what a great new grill mod', most of what I've seen are jeepers sharing their unsolicited negative comments, much like duck drops. IMO

 

Like 20” rims on a Jeep they were never in style.

 

20 inch rims with the lowest profile tires imaginable.

 

I'm in a ski town, in the east. About 1/3rd of the Jeeps here have different style grills. most are "angry bird, and angry shark grills. During the vacation time we get a ton of Jeeps. Most from Massachutés and Road Island. On the whole those "visitors" don't have a angry grills, and a side note they also don't wave or have ducks on their dash. The most common "changes" are; big wheels, snorkel, lights, (lots of lights) and other "off road" updates. Now I havened talked to all of them, just the ones that come in where I work. They don't go off road, or rock climbing, they just like the look. Nothing wrong with that, I haven't gone rock climbing since the '70s. Of my current Jeep, '97 Tj, '14 Jku, one is to old and the second one is stock, and the driver is too old. Most Jeep owners I talk with are just Jeep lovers, owning a dream and an idea. Jeeps are kool, fun, and problematic.
"Life is better in Jeep", enjoy it. Keep on Jeeping!

 

And oh yes, I have angry grills on both my Jeeps.

 

Style is what you nuke. There is really no style but a; look and attitude. The short answer is YES. You drive a Jeep, Jeep is what you make it, don't follow the crowd. I have blood red hands on both side windows, Foot hanging on the rear bumper, a hand off the front, an angry bird grill. Do I care what people think, nope.🤔 Just so you know, for the last 55 years, I have designed, built, an acted in "Haunted Houses'" attractions' .Keep on Jeeping and going your own way

 

Angry eyes easy 30 hp upgrade
Street rig Snorkel 25 hp
Bullet antenna 10-15 hp
Wheel well lighting 20 hp
16’ CB whip with orange flag an amazing 40hp!

 

I think all those silly add-ons disrespect the Jeep functional style. Guess I'm old fashioned to a degree. I am on my 4th Jeep Wrangler, in the last 40 years, '99 Sport stock manual 6, I won't even buy certain colors, but always soft tops. I grew up '50s, 60s next to an army base, in Chicago, and always loved them, as they were. To me, I always thought of a Jeep as the only car you would look great getting out of in either a fur and formal, or tux, as well as Jeans and boots. Other than larger wheels/tires I've never even thought of adding anything. I also grew up driving manual, and won't drive anything else. (taught to drive by boyfriends) Yes, they are fun, and fun to drive, but to me they should also be respected for what they were originally designed to do. Plus everyone seems to get a kick out of seeing an old lady driving a manual TJ.

 

Kinda like those cute little duckies that I see all over dash board. Really?!

 

I'm seeing a decrease in the number of Angry eye grills. Maybe it's the expense, maybe it's JL's are too new to be modfied like that yet.

It's a good thing they aren't more common in my opinion. But, my dad once told me when I saw a low rider car and said "What a waste" that car guys are car guys no matter what they do to their car. At least the car isn't rotting away in a tree grove or junkyard.

I want one of the YJL grills from Unofficial US Only. Need to save my pennis for that! I had a YJ and would love to pay homage to it through my JL

 

I've always been function over form myself. i wont change the form unless it serves a function and jeep wrangler's form is pretty much perfect the way it comes from the factory any way.

 

So you have never upgraded anything that functions fine as is? Sounds boring 😂 I upgrade to my liking a ton of stuff (many hobbies) to improve function. I love making things my own. Especially my hobbies and vehicles.

 

What about cute little duckies all over the dash?

 

To me, they never were.
What's worse, is the batmobile fabfours crap. Such an eyesore.
