re: Question for non rubber ducky Jeep Drivers

My life changed for the better drastically when I stopped giving a shite about what anyone else thinks of me. You should try it.

I've had Jeeps way before these latest fads of ducks and names on the hood and freaky lights ever started. Back then they were the best vehicle to do serious offroading with.

To me it's a tool, just like my tractor.

And yes I don't NEED one, but i have the means and you can't go offroading in your 401k.

I bought a newer Rubicon this year as I'm going overlanding when I retire this summer. Why? Because want to camp (and fish, hike, mountainbike) in places you can't get to in your Camry.

Another reason I bought a Jeep: There are more aftermarket parts available for the Jeep Wrangler than any other vehicle on the planet. And the amount of tech info via Youtube and forums are massive.

All you haters can keep hating as you see me looking down on you as I tool down the highway with the top down and mud slung on the sides while you are comfortably snuggled in your hermetically sealed Accord.

I'm an old school Jeep guy. I've owned two CJ5's. My first car was a 74 CJ5 with a 304 V8. Bought it in 1990. It would go anywhere. I can't stand those ****y assed ducks in these newer Jeeps. The brand got hijacked.

My wife drives an 18 Wrangler without the ducks.

Are you sure about that? I would think that the Honda Civic would still be #1.

I’ve had the same Jeep Wrangler as my daily ride for 15 years. Never got a duck. Wonder what I’m doing right?

My first vehicle was a 1980 CJ7 that was used and abused in the mud, climbing stumps etc…. What gets me about Jeep owners and things like jeeping the coast is it’s all a show. Big tires, winch, hell even a snorkel yet never has it gone on off-road. The ducky thing is the same attitude. Look at me I have a Jeep and I’ll never use it for what they were built for.

Got in an argument over the pronunciation for Willys. Ofcourse the person arguing has a 2 wheel drive Jeep and thinks they know everything.

I received one once and gave it to the dog, who promptly destroyed it. Can't imagine putting it on my dashboard.

So does it actually mean anything?

apparently you leave a duck with some type of positive message or just a "hey whats up". Whatever, its stupid fun i guess for them so whats it to me?

less gay than swinging a casted mold of nuts on the back of your truck.

why do jeep drivers have to park like this?

Jeeps are the biggest piles of junk you can buy. Under powered, ill handling, prone to rust, rattle traps of death. They were great for the army in 1941 but are terrible today

You have literally no idea what you’re talking about.

I’ll stick somebody else with it. In the meantime it’s harmless fun and the world needs more of that in it

I have never owned a Jeep but I have to say if I did and got a duck it would make me smile and I assume that is what it is all about. Honestly, I doubt I would want to spend much time around someone that wouldn't get at least a small kick out of it.

You are correct the world needs a LOT more harmless smile producing fun.
