I hate neon green painted anything on a jeep. Coils, bumpers, shocks, etc... I think it looks tacky. Stick with red

The Stars and Bars has nothing to do with racism or anti-American sentiments in the South, just sayin. It's ignorant Yankees that make that association.

History Lesson:

The Confederates fought the Civil War for their own freedom from the Union.

The Civil War had little to do with Slavery, and everything to do with forcing free people to enter the Union.

The Confederate Flag is a symbol of freedom and rebellion. Of COURSE your history classes want you to think it's about slavery and racism... Wars are mostly fought with propaganda, remember?

Yes sir! In the Civil war the Confederates didn't fly the flag trying to enslave all blacks. That's definitely ignorant, uneducated Yankee talk right there

Stick a sub and a couple speaker boxes back there and suddenly there's not quite so much cargo room.

I don't like them when people leave them on a DD and use them maybe twice a year, but if you camp a lot or go on road trips they're nice to have when needed. Though personally I'd rather use a trailer.

Back on topic. I hate GIGANTIC roof racks. I don't understand why you need a rack made of solid steel that can support 500lbs. Honestly what goes up there besides a spare and some tools? I have one, a very small one at that (are we still talking about roof racks?) lol. The Yakima Basketcase. I basically have it because I like the look, a basket is universal and more useful than super specific bike or kayak racks (maybe not as secure but nothing extra tie-downs can't help) and for cleanliness. I mainly use it when my tools and gear get too muddy or dirty since I still have carpet in my Jeep. So why are there so many extreme duty ones? Am I missing something?
