JeepcoMJ Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Anyone? Seriously, name one benefit? I keep seeing these XJ's and MJ's with part of the headlights painted off. It is far from physically appealing, and limits the function of the headlamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 makes people move their asses out of my way, fast for that matter too here's a question why not? is that that repulsive? people do full smoke outs on lights all the time just preference of the person who owns their rig and only if your an idiot and cake the stuff on so you can't see through the lens still then it will limit the function of the headlights, if you just dust a coat on it doesnt affect them one bit what so ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Tinting affects just as much as paint. And I slow down when I see ricers behind me with this, not to allow them to pass, but to frustrate them. Preference or not, it makes you easy to spot as a certain type of person...one not associated with being stand up. It also increases your chances of being profiled by the police as an unsavory type. Bad enough to see people driving down the road with mud caked on their trucks, especially in areas where there are zero known legal offroad spots. This just increases the negative. Judgements.

Incommando Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Get out of the way? Hardly. That is right up there with truck nuts for showing someone is trying compensate for, ummm, shortcomings. The is the front version of a fart can on a ricer or a "stack" in a truck bed. Just go ahead and get some of those eyelash things to complete the look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I see this alot on the jeep pages on Facebook,usually kids doin it. Some paint them but it seems that alot are using black tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Jesus christ you guys are some judgemental a**holes :roll: . I like to piss off ricers as much as the next guy, but come on, i think a dude with some angry eyes on his jeep is a little low on the totem pole of "hate-able" jeep mods. Things like low profile tires or 22in rims, now thats grounds for some serious hate. P.S. I kinda like angry eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm indifferent to the angry eyes things. Certainly not a big enough "mod" to consider completely horrendous like some stuff I've seen on Jeeps and other trucks. It could be worse.... See below: I think you get the point... Don't ask me what my search criteria was that I used to find some of these images... I don't want to get labeled. ;) :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'd push my MJ off a cliff before I did that to my headlights, but there are a lot of mods people routinely make to Jeeps that in my opinion deserve far more hate, although I'm usually not the kind of person to call people out on the (subjective) looks of their vehicle. It's their vehicle - they should be able to do whatever they want to do to it as long as it doesn't endanger others. But while we're here, I consider angry eyes on XJs and MJs pretty funny, but I'll never be scared of an XJ's front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point, and you are right. In a situation where life is threatened, self defense is warranted. I have my cow for a reason.

Strokermjcomanche Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 To each his own . I do stuff that other people wouldn't and vice versa. Why do people put different interiors ,lights, tires , wheels , dually flares etc. If there was meant to be no difference in anything every single vehicle would look identical . I can tell you there's some people I don't want to look / act like either different is good (quote from Arby's ) lol. After all aren't we considered different because of what we drive?

Not one was for driving slow in front of a ricer. Although NOLA still battles DC for the most corrupt department the worst crime rates have been in the rust belt for some time now. IF you are a police officer posting NIBRS reports of some of the shootings that occurred due to someone driving slow in front of a ricer should be a simple matter. They are public records after all. I did include road rage shootings as occurring but just that they are rare and take far more than driving slow in front of a ricer''' :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
