Jeep compliments from strangers

[Luke Markham]

I get "nice jeep" all the time, but the best compliment I've ever gotten was last summer when my buddy and I were riding around with the top and doors off. We pull up to a stop light and we're in our normal attire (jeans, boots, and ball caps). Walter, the jeep, is in his normal attire (covered in mud). And this guy pulls up beside us, rolls his window down and yells "now that's Texas right there!"

I wasn't trying to play the "my Jeep is special card " in my earlier post.

I live in Alabama - Jeep's , corn liquor , dating your family members , 6th graders on probation ...those things happen here .

Ain't that right sis? Wake up and read this babe

I had one of those days yesterday. I’m driving my Jeep with no top, no doors. I see like 5 Jeeps on my 10 minute drive home. As I’m waiting in the left turn pocket to turn onto my street, I see a Jeep coming up behind me 2 lanes over. He pulls into the lane closest to me and waves as he goes by, then pulls back to the lane he was in. As I leave the mailbox a yellow TJ drives past me with two girls in it just laughing up a storm with the soft top off and waving at me to beat the band. It was just one of those fun days. Same reaction if I had doors and top on? I doubt it. It was a good Jeep day.

I like to hike my pants up in front of my wife and say - "honey , there's just something women love about a TJ man"

Let me know how that line works for you.

... I'll take that as a compliment brother!

Those who have 2 TJ’s are an even more unusual breed.

She's not impressed.

I've learned a lot in 25 years of marriage...like If you are trying to get her in a romantic mood, don't use the word "poke".

My wife initiated ‘bang u’ today. That’s a good day

I'll take that as a double compliment

Had my top off for the first time this year last weekend. I kept hoping I could run into a lady in a Jeep with the top on at a stop light or whatever so I could say "you should try taking your top off". Cracked myself up but it never happened.

It could still happen, don't give up hope!
I'm going to watch for such an occasion myself

The most memorable one for me had to he the first one. I was sitting at a stop light, top off, doors on. A big rig pulls up on the passenger side and I hear, "Hey". I look up at the driver and he's excitedly pointing up at his hat, an old school looking Jeep hat. He say’s "Nice Jeep man & live the Jeep life! He honked the air horn and went on his way, was a cool moment, something my son and I will never forget.

I get it all the time too. People really like my truck though, I get people pulling up to me at lights asking me questions about it all the time. Were I live you mostly see lifted trucks, a lot of them, but few single cab lowered trucks, especially Hemi Rams.

I made my first real off road trip two weeks ago and the jeep was good and muddy. Went to the gym before going home to wash it. As I was leaving a guy came up to me and said he wondered whose jeep it was. I told him I took it off road for the first time the day before and it was a blast. He told me he had an 88 or 89 and it never left paved roads. He seemed rather proud of that.

Multiple times while I'm going through a drivethru the guy serving me has complemented me on my Jeep (despite it being mostly stock). One time I even ended up getting a conversation with the guy for about 10-15 minutes until the manager came out and said it was time for us to wrap up (it was the middle of the night so I wasn't holding anyone up).

I can relate, I don't do dirt either. lol

It's always nice to get a compliment from a WWII veteran who used to drive a Willys back in the day.

That is exactly the same person ends up driving a JK in a lot of cases.

One of jeeps top people said most of those Vehicles never leave the pavement.

That is not a bad reflection on anyone... That just tells you how far over into the SUV Market the 4-door reached.

Seems I've gotten WAY more love, complements, honks, waves, comments, driving my MJ than I have any XJ or TJ....
