Does anyone here have a Jeep that in your own opinion needs only 1 more piece/part removed to make it no longer a "Jeep".
pictures would be cool if you have them.

P.S. In my opinion a Jeep is a Jeep, a Wrangler is a guy that gathers Cattle.

Postal Jeeps have fewer slots in the grill but are based on CJs.

When it's a compass or patriot.

Or for that matter anything other than a Wrangler in the new line-up

A "Jeep" with a Chevy motor, Ford axil's, custom suspension and frame, and a fiberglass tub that slightly resembles a "CJ" can hardly be called a "Jeep". It seems to me that the only real Jeep product on this rig is the "Hat" that the Driver is wearing.
Plese don't get me wrong, I love my Jeep and all vehicals no matter how modifyied or customized. I'm just wondering when it's no longer a "JEEP"?

Thanks; Jim.
when it was built in 2007 or up

Real Jeeps are built not bought.
If it has Jeep on the title it is still a Jeep.

You need to update your profile then. I thought only postal Jeeps had 4 cylinders. Do you have right hand drive? I used to own a 1980 CJ7. Anything you can think of to put down a JK, I can top with all I used to say about the YJ.

I think once it gets into the buggy stage its no longer really a jeep. Just because it has a jeep grill doesnt really make it a jeep. I can bolt a jeep grill to the front of a pinto and it wouldnt make it a jeep either. As long as it still has most of the jeep body and frame i'd say its still a jeep.

I personally have other opinions. But that's the only one we all agree on.
Are you referring to the Stock/OEM Grill with round headlights?

I have nothing against any year Jeep or their owner, unless of course they act like an idiot.
