is the MJ a real jeep?

[urbanMJ]

This is my first project car, as well as my first pickup and jeep.

 

All I can say now is that I am hooked, and 100% a jeep guy. I'm seriously considering a trail rig after everything I've seen: a TJ maybe. But for now, the MJ is the street jeep.

 

I met some guys at work today who are jeep aficionados. They claim that the MJ is NOT a real JEEP because:

 

-it's a damn pickup

-it's not a 'vert

-not a wrangler

 

My counter argument:

-it's got the same axles

-same motors

-signature grille

-and offroad prowess (in 4wd form)

 

Well, help me with the argument!

Tell them I said you're right

 

And this is coming from a YJ & MJ owner. :nuts:

[DirtyComanche]

Let's look at this question differently:

 

 

 

Does it come with crappy axles stock? - Yes

 

Lack of creature comforts? - Yes

 

Will it cost you a fortune? - Yes

 

Is it unreliable? - Yes

 

Are you still obsessed? - Yes

 

 

 

Therefor, a MJ is a jeep.

Just ask the wrangler owners how much gear they can carry :brows:

 

 

Then show them your registration, if you are lucky you have one that says AMC, but if not it says jeep on it all the same.

 

 

Then tell them they can follow me anytime they want on a trail ride, but I can gaurantee one thing... They won't think of a MJ the same after that

If it was designed by AMC its a Jeep!

Anything else is up for argument. :D

Of course it's a JEEP, it says so right there on my steering wheel :D

 

and my tailgate, too....

[sinnaevd]

it is a Mans Jeep

[87manche]

mine says AMC :)

And yes it's a Jeep.

Ask them how they like those wranglers when they're staring at a near vertical hill climb.

Wheelbase is cool :)

Some people are just stupid. . . :nuts:

 

It cracks me up how narrow minded some people are. :headpop:

 

YJ's aren't jeeps because they have square headlights.

TJ's aren't jeeps because they have too many creature comforts and coil springs.

Liberty's are not jeeps because they have Independent front axles.

MJ's aren't jeeps because they are pickups.

 

and on and on. My book says all are jeeps. Jeep is a manufacturer.

Some of them I've liked and others not, but; they are all jeeps.

 

All fine vehicles that do exactly what they were intended for. :wall:

When I was in Italy, the kids I hung out with called any 4x4 a Jeep, including my GMC. :nuts:

Maybe this is what AMC meant when they said "Easy to be a truck, hard to be a Jeep" :roll:
