Have not heard number 1 but once not the same words but something similar I assume they are referring to Wronglers when they say that.
The second one I have heard a couple times again, not exactly in that structure. More in relation to getting a friend of mine to help put mine on (my 2" bb still resides in the box it came in on my floor) Lack of time and tools on my side and plain lack of time on the friend's side.

"Why didn't you get a 4runner?"
"Hummer makes the best off road vehicles."
"When are you gonna wash that?"
And my favorite:
::walk into auto parts store, and tell them, "I need such and such a part for a '99 Jeep Cherokee, 4 wheel drive, 4.0 inline 6." Their response, "Grand Cherokee or regular?" Did I SAY grand at any point?::

So far I have not gotten this one. However ... in a way I can sort of understand why they ask. I can assume that in that business as with many others people just don't know and you have to fish for answers. On the other hand....yeah the counter jockey could just be that dumb.

Part 1 if you get stuck give me a call.
Part 2 I have a truck or I have a real jeep
Every time I have herd one of these it turned into a heated debate and I have wound up pulling most of them out. At a later date. After I talked a ton of s*it.

1. Can you move your "van" for me?
2. Why do your tires chirp around corners, that can't be good.
3. Your whole jeep leans when you turn, you should fix that.
