now back to the "KJ hating"
guys look you all tend to get "stupid hurt" when some one finds a post on another forum where they talk down the
KJ ,but dont ya'll do the same thing to the FJ or the Xterra?
In my time I spend promoting the Off-Roaders Expo I visit the FJ and Xterra boards and they do the same
Wrangler guys are the most stuck up of all but it happens ,there is always one
how ever the Wrangler as a whole has "proved its metal" more than once so they "have nothing to prove"
now in my limited are ,the places I wheel, I have seen MANY different rigs and I am going to say that most people are like me and base what they know on what they see and I think this is where the "hate" comes from
Besides my self ,really my WIFE witch further lends to the "girl Jeep" image, there is only 1 other KJ that wheels locally
now that is 200X better than the local Xterras they are 0 but the FJ's right now 5 to 1 if not more on the local IN Louisiana
trails out side LA and in the public parks there are WAY more FJ's than KJ but this is only where I wheel LA ,TX ,AR ,MS ,AL
and NC
If ya'll as a group want the hate to stop then do like the FJ people do
start having BIG events every MONTH not 1 a year and have them where people can drive ~500 miles and be there
dont exclude others but make darn sure that it is at least 2-1 KJ's to what ever
organize and promote it
have give aways offer several different level's of trails ect.
I have the place in the south and would be more than happy to do it
it is not that hard to organize on my end some one make a flyer ,I dont do art, put them on every KJ in your area
every one with in 500 miles of the park do that and I would bet 50-100 KJ's in the first year
invite a few magazines out and get 1 to show and the KJ hate will start to end
Now I will not even take the first step to do this until I get 5 KJ's from this board to show up to a ride
and I dont want to hear this "I got school" or "It's to far to drive" crap
I work 50 or more hours a week ,I have a wife and a 6 month old baby and I still have time to go wheel even for a 2 day trip I find time and the drive is also BS because the local park is 4+ hours 1 way for me and I drive it in a TJ on bias ply swampers with a 3 speed auto so I have not only the noise from the soft top but also the engine cranking out 3000 rpm
jeep walkin all over the road but I still do it
and hell I have done the 4 hour trip there after 4+ hours driving for work set up a tent wheeled 1 day ,Saturday
wheeled 1/2 day on Sunday and drove home
This may be why the Wrangler guys get all the love ,people know what they go through to be on the trails but some how they seem to make it
