I like function first, but it never hurts for it to look good while it is being functional at the same time. Not chrome, but at least a good looking paint job.....

I gotta know. How many of you guys prefer fashion over function? How many demand both? |

Function wins every time....however I'd like to keep it looking decent looking. No gaudy chrome accessories or any of that stuff. Would rather spend money on stuff that could increase durability/capability. |

Chrome don't get you home. I like the look of the brush bars available for the Libby's but they aren't well supported and you lose your front tow points. I choose function over fashion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

If you take "function" mods to a extreme point it BECOMES fashion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Very open ended question What some would consider " function" others may describe as a POS. Same way with what ever you call fashion, never heard the term in the Jeep industry in over 45 years but assume you mean by looking good? But with most anything you want it to work but also look good as well don't want the JK guys driving by making even more fun of your KJ

A proper balance of both is always preferred. Often the most functional items become elegant because they work so well. |

Should I admit to grabbing a >2010 Libby because they went back to the 3 spoke steering wheel of the old Cherokees?!  OK, it was a small fashion thing with no functional loss.

Everyone has a different idea of fashion or what looks good/bad. I've got flat front flares on mine now, and already there have been people discussing about the unibody being exposed because of the lack of a wheel liner. To some people, sure it looks ugly and doesn't make sense. To me, it works how I want it to, and looks fine. Others will say "oh well I've got whatever inch tires and still run my flares"....well...good for you then. If that's what you like, and it works for you, so be it

The Age old question "Style or Sustenance?" Style wins every time but what style? I like it to look good and somewhat rugged and ready if we are talking about Jeeps but not over the top and overdone. practical and good looking for sure. No over use of chrome..... chrome don't get you home. comfort is important too. I won't be with out my heated seats in the winter or with out my satellite radio either. |

I think there's room for both style/fashion and function. Of course the ride has to be functional, but I want style too. I wouldn't have a Limited if I didn't care about style. But then, lifts, armor and performance are way up on the list too. I don't have to sacrifice style to get any of that though. Jim |
