This is not compliments on the Internet. A fair number of people compliment on how my vehicle looks. I can say in the past three months, at least three people said something nice about my vehicle.

compliments NO.

Why the fuck did you do that to your Cherokee? YES :flipoff2:

I usually get:

You still owe money on that thing????? (99' TJ)
Shit that thing sounds like the UPS truck! (01 diesel excursion)
That thing is sweet, what the hell are doing with your hand (column shift that used to be on my 76 bronco)

Who gives a rip what they say, mines got dents/scratches, you gotta get on your knees to see the good stuff....

I don't know what yer drivin' but if people are complimenting your rigs "good looks" that means you haven't wheeled it enough yet.

If it is just average Joe's on the street then you are in the wrong web site. If it is fellow wheelers, your OK.

not that often in my old toyota, but my toy-chev-zuk, all the time....can't stop for gas without people coming up to it, "nice jeep!" lol .......it's not a jeep, he he, came outa auto zone and a guy was on his knews looking under, says "it's all chevy hu?" said " no toyopta axles'dual toy cases....chevy motor/trans:D real head turner......I';m siprizzzzzzzzzzed on all the ATT: it gets....lolfunny thing is seeing people point while I'm driving down the road or at a stop light, lol

I get compliments on the trail and towing. It actually never stops....

That is is GAY!!! If i saw it on the trail i might accidentaly run it over.....

when I drive my big 4runner, I get guys in other toyota 4x4s turning their heads, but honestly I think it's cuz my truck looks like a beat-to-hell loud ass piece of junk. ...although the kid at the DEQ test center who smogged it muttered "bad ass 4runner" under his breath when he got in, I liked him.

duhhhhhh

People say to me "is that one of those monster trucks?"
I say "yeah". But thinking "whatever dude" (:

That's is exactly what I keep telling my girlfriend but that has nothing to with my truck now does it....

I get good comments just about every time I drive the truck, dents and all. It's cool when I hear the younger kids go- "Look at that monster truck!" with wide eyes. It's a cool feeling :D

I get more WTF looks than compliments. But still, people tend to gather around it. More so when its on the trailer pre the mud covering. With the usaual Ohh & Ahhh's, And How did you or how can i do that?
And i am SICK of people calling it a jeep. Oh well.

It's kinda funny to see people's reactions to my Explorer. Some love it, some hate it, some think I am nuts. I get alot of "what the hell were you thinking" looks but also get quite a few compliments. I get lots of people asking me if I'm "going to fix all those dents" or asking me if I was in an accident. I also get smart ass comments like "Do you ever take it off road?" seems to happen mostly when people look at the passenger's side. Another thing is that people assume that I have never driven off road because of what I drive. Doesn't matter much to me either way.

P.S. I love to see little kids point and say MONSTER TRUCK! It makes me smile. :)

I get that one myself a lot. All too often I'll look over at the car next to me and theres a 5-8 year old kid gawking at my big little Ranger. Makes me wonder if theres a future fourwheeler in that car :cool2: .

That is what makes me love to drive my truck so much. I can be heading home from work all pissed off and see some kid gawkin it just puts a big ol smile on my face and make me forget about work and maybe we got another fourwheeler in there.

All the time. Everyone says "hey thats a cool 'bronco'. Why dont you paint it?" I drive a 72 jimmy.

You guys think it's a problem having your non Jeep being called a Jeep you can imagine what they say about mine. I was going to get a p-plate that said "it's-a it's-a".

The reactions run the gamut, from smiles and thumbs up, to frowns, to looks of horror or disbelief. The cops even watch as I go by. I really love the looks when making a sharp left hander as the body lean gets out there and the tires are howling because of the spool.

AIGHT CHECK THIS OUT...
TELL ME WHEN EVER YOU PULL UP TO A LIGHT AND THERE SOME FAG IN A VETTE OR SOME LITTLE TIN CAN SPROTS CAR USUALLY WITH HIS LITTLE WHORE SITTING NEXT TO HIM,THEY ALL WANNA RACE YA.HAHAHAHA ONE TIME IN MY CJ-7 I HAD A GUY IN A VETTE WITH THE BLONDE WHORE...OH MY GOD...CAN YOU SAYS TITS DAMN I HAD AN INSTANT HARD ON ...ANYWAYS THE FIRST LIGHT CAME AND HE TOOK OFF I STARTED LAUGHING SO HE GETS STUCK AT THE NEXT LIHGT AND IM LAUGHING AT HIM AND HE LOOKS AT ME LIKE AND SAYS "YOU WANNA GO" IM LIKE GO WHERE RETARD GO TO HOTEL WITH YOUR GIRL HE FREAKED IM LIKE RELAX MAN WE'LL GO... MAKE A LONGF STORY SHORT I KICKED THE LIVINMG PISS OUTTA HIM IT WAS GREAT I HAD NEVER FELT SO UPLIFTED IN MY LIFE.NOW WITH THE TJ ON 39'S AND STUFF I REALLY DONT HAVE THE POWER OUTTA TEH 4.O LITRE LIKE THE 360 I HAD BUT THEY STILL WANNA GO....

when i drive my yota people always ask me what i did wit my bed and doors. i tell them i sold them for beer and part $$. they all call it a "skelleton on wheels". i shrug my shoulders and smile they just dont understand why you tube.

last week i drove mine up to the gas station because it was nice out and to put a few miles on it. just parking in the gas station 3 times ive had 3 different people come up and invite me to a mud bog party. and then they ruin it by sayin "nice jeep". bastards!!!!!

best hillbilly comment on my 69 chevy powered fj-40.

" hey you still got the original amc in der"

I love all the response's here.. My name here on the board basicly say's it all. Its the first thing out of everybodys mouth "what is that" since 90 percent of the 180,000 (over 20 years) CJ6's were exported. Not many people have ever even seen one.

And of course the mod's make their vision blurry, and fog their minds.

since it is a jeep most of them get that part right.

I did have one guy say "how did you put those cj5 doors on your comando"

i get a lot of compliments on my Z71 with a straight axle front and 39.5 boggers. i get tired of ppl asking how much was the kit and who installed it. duh, i beleive in build it yourself,and not paying to have it done. and there is no really kit either. it looks sweet though,,,, and chicks love my truck.

I was getting of the intersate is Charlotte yesterday and there was the usually homeless man standing on the side asking for change. I pulled up close to him and he said "hey son, that is a nice toyota. I have never seen on that big before." I didnt know what to say.

Usualy get "did anybody get killed in the wreck?" Aint a straight pannel on the truck. Kids like it. Looks like a tonka toy. Those into wheeling like it. I live in East Cobb aka "East Snob". It a susburb of Atlanta. Upper income area (what I'm doing here I still don't know). Benzo's and Beemers abound around here. I have more fun scarying them than anything else. 7ft tall K5 on 35's with 4x4 steel bumpers and rock slider tends to intimidate most of them

People usually tell me they like what I did with the custom pinstriping. Then they ask why is marks its territory all the time. Then they ask how I can justify taking a 97 TJ offroad and scratching the paint and adding dents.

Maybe he is just a better driver than you and doesn't dent his junk up? I get so tired of this "you HAVE to have lots of dents" attitude. So if I take a sledgehammer to the side of my rig I am cool, but if I make a clean line I am not?

Dude put down the crack pipe... and turn off the cap lock while you are at it!

Since I'm still running IFS, I get alot of "How the Hell you get that thing up here" comments. Not many IFS vehicles running f/r lockers at LCIR.

People usually just point, laugh, and give the how can you be seen in that thing look..........kinda like when when you're at walmart and see on of those big fat ladies with her belly hangin at her knees :barf:

The kids never even get to see cuz their mothers cover their eyes as I drive by.....ok...it's not that bad.

I only got to drive my truck on the road for a very short period of time. I guess it's slightly illegal. One of the mulitiple times I got pulled over, the cop was looking under my truck in everything just to check it out. He thought it was cool.

One night I was cruising around downtown and groups of people would yell and cheer everytime I went by. People take pictures, follow me home, it was crazy and it was a lot of fun. But I got pulled over three times in 5 days and I was banned from the streets of my hometown.

Ha, ha, I was that clueless once... No dents means you drive wussy trails...

I love pulling up next to Chromed out, shiney street Jeeps. they look down their nose at my dented, sawzall'ed toyota. I just smile and think, 'Dude, you have no clue"

Although mine is normally trailered, I occasionally pick my kids up from school and the other kids think they are cool when they jump in the back.

I get more questions than compliments.

#1 question - "Is that your brakes?"
#2 question - "WTF are those axles out of, are those stock??"

i'm always getting complaints about how my drive way looks. i only have 3 axles, 1 tranny and 4 driveshafts sitting there. it's not like it's getting in there way.. i think that there just trying to get me in trouble with the cops cause i'm out working on the rig till 11 or 12 at night.dont we all?? lol

I very often hear people say,
"Thats a sweet looking skid plate and underside",
followed by
"Would you like some help flipping it back over?"

i get stares and compliments from pretty much everyone. I don't drive it on the street much but when i do everyone looks. It helps that it's an Early Bronco with no top or doors, bright orange on 38.5s....oh yeah and i'm in a college town.

-Steve

I get alot of...Whats 7.4L mean....duh!!!
We parked in Murphy NC. last year on the street out of town (toward Tellico), there was this little antique store with a bunch of hillbilly's sittin on rockin chairs, and the guy says to me "If I calculated it correctly, 7.4l translates to 454CI....huh..in a Jeep, are you sure!!!
I said to myself..."self..did this backwards hillbilly really calculate 7.4 litres into cubic inches??" He was real serious and amazed that it even fit under the hood!!

there ain't NObody in murphy that could do a 7.4 to 454 conversion in there head somebody had read that somplace that is one dumb town

Man I feel sorry for you living in Cobb that must BLOW .... closer to cowboys though....

That's alright Zags, I still think that you are that clueless. :flipoff2: Seriously though, I was referring more to the fact that I see people denting their junk up on easy trails where it is just not necessary, then proclaiming that they are "hardcore". :rolleyes:

hehehe.. ya.. even i get some "nice jeep" from people.. i kinda nod my head and laugh to myself..

i didnt realize i was that good with spray paint..

Almost every day!

Nope a juiced up 5.9!! It tows pretty damn good too!

HOLY SHIT IT'S LOUD!
It's ugly but it looks sick at the same time

I normally get. "Man that thing would go anywhere" My normal reply is "Don`t know mate its only a show truck, its to good to take off road" Little do they know I came 4th in Last years Aussie Tuff Truck Challenge in it.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by PIAA_Lites

Most just stare and ask what it is.

Eveyone i know says "is that thing safe"
Be them wheelers or not, i normally just say "no"

i get is that a cj7 i say nope a 97 tj, they respond YOU did THAT to a TJ? lmao........ yep i did

Normally I get asked the usual non-wheeler questions: "How much lift ya got?" "Was it hard to put the lift on?" "D'ya take it off road?" "Is it hard on gas?" "Are those tires loud on the highway?" "Too bad about all the dents and scratches"

One non-wheeler told me my Jeep was too tall and the tires were too big. He said "It just doesn't look good that way". I told him that it's not built that way for looks.

The old CJ5 was great. It just plain looked B-A-D, and I was always getting compliments on it, despite crappy paint & scuffed up rims. Couple of kids asked for an autograph once at an ORV area, and sometimes coming home from mud races after dark, girls would pull up alongside & flash up (never by myself, but a couple times when we were traveling in a group of 4-5 racers).

But, the new racer - despite being actually faster - is much more understated in appearance. Nobody is even remotely curious about it, at least until I hit the starter button ;)

TEX

I get lots of looks/compliments on my truck. There's not a lot of custom bed Toyotas running around, and most of the ones that are around here are 2wd delivery trucks with a plain flat bed.
I had a mexican guy offer me a welding job helping him build fences after I told him I built it all myself. Farmers seem to like it too (it would make a great truck to feed out of the back of).

The most suprising compliments come from people I wouldn't expect to notice my truck though. Like an average looking guy in a little sedan who complimented it when i was over at a gas station in an upscale neighborhood. Or a middle aged lady walking out of a gas station that said "that's a cool back end" (I sure hope she was talking about my truck).

But the best ever was on the 4th (when I rear-ended my girlfriend's mom's Rav) as I pulled up to the drive thru window and the first words out of the guys mouth were "what the heck did you do to your truck?! It looks like it could eat little cars". I just laughed and said "Yeah, it already had a Rav4 today."

I usually just get the dropped jaw stare, but i sometimes get actual comments, usually "what is it" or "that thing is cool". As if no one has ever seen an Amigo with 10" of lift on 35s with no doors. the other day some kid at the gas station in a ranger with a :rainbow: prerunner bar on the front says "how high have you jumped that thing" i told him that it was a rockcrawler and i dont normally jump it and he just kinda looked at me like i was speakin greek.

I still think the best comment I ever got was in AZ on Lower Terminator when Keith(?) from www.rockmodified.com said "I dont care if it is stuck, I still think its cool."

Dallas

Jaw dropping stares is also the usual thing here :flipoff2:
Little kids just point and smile and last time I got pulled over on the way back from a very muddy off-road weekend in France the cop asked "Son, you forgot your doors ?" I said "Nah, I know where they are". He just smiled and told me to wash that truck of mine. It's not a common sight in Germany to drive a doorless, topless, sawzall'd Nissan Patrol :D

I usually just have people say "what the heck are you doing to that thing?" (99 T.J.)

I hate going to gas stations because it seems that all the goof balls hang out there.

Whenever I go wheeling I fuel up the night before really late when most of the weirdos are sleeping.

The 2 favorite questions i've got so far are:

1. "Is that one of those Hummy-V thingies? I bet it can go anywhere."

2. "Are you a Nazi?"
(My response to the guy that was driving a Toyota.)
"Nope, are you Kamakazi?

He had a stumped look on his face and I jumped in my truck and left....hehe

Later.

that is motivation enought for me to buy a mog........gotta call mikey and hans in bremen.........


i drive a zuk most of the time and people always ask me if it rolls over easy. i tell them i found it leaning against the garage wall the other morning on my way to work.......darndest thing!!!

Now that you mention it a few have told me how ugly my truck body is. Considering I am the original owner of a 93 Toy without a straight body part on it I take it as a compliment.

That's the coolest. Driving down the road and a kid in the car next to you looking up pointing.

It never ceases to amaze me the attention a large group of dirty Jeeps can generate. It ranges from the obvious disdain from the prick driving the BMW, to the bouncing on the seat, finger pointing 6 year old kid who thinks it's cool.

Last weekend we had a big-ass convoy heading out to the trails, before:

During:
http://www.atlanta-off-road.org/6/ubb.x?s=995606763&a=ga&ul=560606285

After: we had no fewer than 10 folks talk to us on the road and the restaurant where we all rolled in hot and dirty.

Most people just point and laugh at mine.
http://pic5.picturetrail.com/VOL85/474120/602480/7994347.jpg

People in my own 4x4 Club ask why I would do that to such a nice truck. I need a new club...

Squash

Yes. Sometimes they even know enough to know what the hell they are looking at and talking about. Fortunately, its a trailer and trail rig so I don't have to put up with too many dumb-ass people.

most of the time when I get comments, it is just from guys trying to hit on me...it always starts out with..."ohh wow do YOU really drive that thing?"

give them a wave and hope one day they buy a 4x4 and do the same thing

being big and birght yellow, on 38.5 inch boggers draws a lot of attention, especially since lifts of over 2" are illegal over here, and mine is HUGE........ so it stands out straight through 3inch pipe from the turbo

gets all the looks (this is an important thing) its cold on winter mornings and nights...and goes well offroad and is getting more scratched and dinted as the year progresses

I get it all the time. Everywhere I go some one says nice jeep, or where did you get your work done. When I am driving heads are turning all the time. It fun going through the drive through and my tire is at the botom of the little spot that you need to put the money.

When I got the TJ I got lots of compliments now just WTF or the lady at my work talking about how I'm hurting the ozone with my gas guzzling emissions blower.(she drives a old ass oldsmobile too:flipoff2: )I will say this doors off rolling down the highway I like little kids looking over with a smile they seem to be the only ones who understand.:p

The last time I was at the gas station filling up my 76 chevy, some dude came up to me and said while pointing at my 4 link w/ coils "Fawk, thats Sweet, I used to have Traction Bars on my truck too"

I just smiled and said "oh ya?" He meant well :rolleyes: :D

That same stop, a guy in a Mini Van pulled up and asked me where I go "wid dat ting" .... Any where I want :flipoff2:
