As I recall in a thread a few weeks back a few people were going off
on some guy about how he couldn't have power windows in his Jeep
TJ...blah blah...

http://www.electric-life.com/preview/customfit.html

I have to say considering the cost of my Jeep I was quite annoyed that
I couldn't have power windows and door locks..

I'll be ordering both kits from this company considering how cheep
they are..

what is it with people like you? youre buying a _jeep_, and bitching about
the lack of creature comforts. i suggest you buy something that has what
you want instead of trying to buy into an image and then bitching about the
very points that made that image what it is. thinking like yours will kill
the jeep name

Geeze Nathan, did someone **** in your cornflakes today? I'm sure your
Rubicon has creature comforts in it as well. Maybe A/C, a stereo with a CD
player or cruise control? Do real Jeeps have those? Just because someone
wants an option on their Wrangler doesn't make it wrong, does it? Don't get
me wrong, I find the info you provide here to be very useful. I just don't
quite see what power windows or locks would have to do with killing the Jeep
name. Short of a Liberty or GC, I bet your Rubie has more creature comforts
than almost every other type of Jeep out there. Things like the Liberty will
have much more to do with "killing" the Jeep name than adding power windows
or locks to a Wrangler. Give the guy a break.

Hmmm. Power windows? How the hell can you power a zipper?

the post rubbed me the wrong way. ive never "noticed" him in here before
(although he may be a long-timer). to introduce yourself to the group by
bitching about what a jeep does not have is poor form.

all of the above, and i enjoy them.

absolutely!

all this ---- is relative and based in opinion and in _my_ opinion (which is
what i base my posts on) whining about the lack of power windows in a swb
jeep is a yuppie wanna-be type of whine. you gotta draw the line somewhere,
and i have CONSISTENTLY drawn that line prior to anything that detracts from
what makes a jeep a jeep.


> I find the info you provide here to be very useful.

thank you. thats why i do what i do.

> quite see what power windows or locks would have to do with killing the

whats next? power windows standard? heated seats? how about a shiatsu
massager built in to the high back seat? IFS/IRS?

there are many things i would like to see as options on the tj (v8, pto,
etc), but theyre all based in making the jeep more capable and thats what
makes a jeep a jeep.

but adding power windows to a wrangler is along the same lines as the
liberty itself. before you know it the doors wont come off, the windshields
wont fold down, and the drive axles will be independent of one another and
it wont be due to government regulations, it will be due to yuppies buying
into the image and throwing down the cash and frankly id rather see the jeep
name die than to be bastardized further.


> Give the guy a break.

funny, i thought i _did_.

<sigh>....maybe i take jeeping to seriously.

You know -- it's attitudes like this that have kept me from joining
any jeep clubs and really paying attention to half the crap that is
posted here and in other forums.

I never purchased an image..

I sold my old '88 GM 3/4ton that I dropped a D60 SFA in the front,
winch front and rear, lifted sitting on 44" 's with ARB's front and
rear, 350, 5spd.. Because it became a troll to drive and really was
a beast to take on any trails, but was great in mud..

So I purchased a new TJ.. I have since swapped out the front
for a d44, tossed my old winch on it, lifted it 6" and slapped some
35's on it.. in a few weeks I'll be tossing a front and rear ARB on
it as well..

I purchased a vehicle that had a shorter wheel base and would
be more practicle on the trails I wish to use. How do you figure
I purchased an image?

So where the HELL do you get off with your assinine attitude
bitching at me because I want power windows and power locks.

Get off your soap box and stop giving Jeep enthusists a bad name.

Thinking like yours is very narrow and outright stupid.
