I am tired of hearing the word 'thing' after the word Jeep. This also includes bumper stickers, stenciled lettering, and the billboard near my local Jeep dealership.

Nor will it ever be.

Oh -- so that's not what they're saying then..?>..

I should stop using my "bar" line then:

It's a Jeep thing, wanna touch it?

OK that last line can stay. Well, at least long enough for me to use it once or twice. But alas, I too think the jeep 'Thing" is way played out. Hey, maybe someone could start a thread for new jeep slogans?

The "Jeep thing" was cool before DC embraced it...now it is just another clever marketing slogan. You want a new one? OK...how about..."Jeep...my junk cost more than your Porsche"

I like. besides, how many Porsche's do you see being hauled around with a school bus? The bus 'is' a Jeep thing tho.

I admit, about 3 years ago I had a Jeep thing sticker. At the time it was cool and new.

After about 6 months it came off. I got tired of seeing posers and wannabees toting the sticker. I haven't looked back.

I'm also kinda annoyed by too many stickers (on anything) I think it's funny that some people become sticker Junkies..

don't try to impress me with the amount of stickers you have, impress me with your Jeep.

All of my stickers go on my tool boxes. I keep the stickers to a minimum on the Jeep.

DOD sticker
3d ID sticker (my combat unit)
NAXJA sticker
Armor branch insignia (my Job)

The current Jeep slogan is "Go where few have gone before" or the worst KJ ad ever that says "To a gearhead this is a centerfold" :bs: :puke:

I prefer "It's a Jeep thing... your girlfriend gets it"

In 20 years of Jeep ownership, I've NEVER displayed one of those attrocities.
I do, however, currently display "It's a jeep thing, Daimler doesn't understand" across my back window....just for the amusement factor that Liberties who get behind me get a pretty clear clear indication that not ALL of us accept the vehicle to the stable.

Hey, it beats the tire cover I was broadcasting....
(which, incidentally, will be making a comeback on either side of the new stepside.)

Here is a rather old pic of it...
Currently, it has a flatbed out back. I'm securing the location and price of three rebuildable Willy's stepsides. I had started to build my own, but the authenticity was a major factor in this buildup, so I abandoned it for real bedsides from the real thing.

"It's a jeep thing, Daimler doesn't understand"
OLFLMAO I like that and will have to get a couple but they will have to wait until Camp Jeep is over. I don't think it would go over well considering I'm a trail guide and was told by"boss" that when asked what i thought of the liberty that i must keep my true thoughts to my self and be a good boy. Damn if that ain't going to be hard as hell
