5 Reasons Why Owning a Jeep Makes You Awesome

Spring is upon us, and that can only mean one thing…it’s Jeep season! It’s true that owning a Jeep makes you awesome. Jeep owners know they are envied everywhere they go. We all see the looks of longing when passing all those boring sedans and stuffed minivans. Jeep owners possess a piece of American freedom that identifies them as that unique breed of human still interested in taking the road less travelled and finding the perfect hidden spot to fish or spend all night staring at the stars. While owning a Jeep clearly makes you awesome, some people still don’t have one. So, we’ve put together the five best reasons why owning a Jeep makes you awesome to convince the remaining few to get on board and reconnect with their wild side.

Automatic Family Adoption

The second you buy your Jeep, you are admitted into the Jeep family. Other Jeep owners will now toss out friendly waves and nods as you pass each other with some even inviting you to marry their daughters. Anytime you see other Jeeps gathered together, feel free to roll on up and hop into the conversation (Try that with a minivan!). You’ll likely end up making a few new friends and finding a new weekend party somewhere off the beaten path. You’ll find that the Jeep family is fun, friendly and dedicated to the cause.

Peer Envy

It is a well-known fact that non-Jeep owners wish they were Jeep owners. The constant rubbernecking Jeep owners receive is the clearest evidence of this cultural phenomenon. Eventually, you will become accustomed to the jealousy. However, peer envy isn’t something in which you should relish. Jeep owners are notoriously awesome and friendly and we will always invite those less fortunate to the party. Friends make everything better and your Jeep is designed to promote and foster community.

Endless Mods & Upgrades

Jeeps are notoriously easy to work on, which makes upgrading and modifying them a fun and rewarding task. From lift kits and wenches to trail tires and snorkels, there are countless ways to give your Jeep added power to get through any situation with ease. Jeeps are designed to accommodate these upgrades and many Jeep parts are interchangeable, giving you the ability to find replacements just about anywhere. Be careful when potentially buying an already modified Jeep. You could be buying an inexperienced mechanic’s worst nightmare. Make sure to get any Jeep fully inspected by an experienced Jeep mechanic or only perform upgrades yourself.

Go Anywhere – Literally

While Jeeps look cool, their main appeal is their ability to go virtually anywhere. When the road ends, pop on the 4-wheel drive and keep going! Jeep owners can pack a bag, throw it in the back and take off in any direction. Jeeps are designed for rugged use and have a durable construction able to handle all types of weather and terrain. If your Jeep gets stuck, use the wench to free yourself and drive on. Jeeps will stop at nothing to get the job done!

Jeeps Keep Getting Better

Many Jeep owners are fanatically dedicated to their classic, vintage Jeeps. However, that hasn’t stopped Jeep from constantly upgrading their new editions with greater towing capacity, roomier interior, added cargo space, upgraded engine power and much more. Jeep has continued to improve the Jeep brand without losing sight of their core identity and mission of off-road mastery. This keeps Jeep at the forefront of the 4-wheel drive world and in the hearts and minds of outdoor enthusiasts everywhere.

These are just a few reasons owning a Jeep makes you awesome. If you are a Jeep owner, or potentially may become one, remember to contribute to the betterment of the Jeep community through kindness and acceptance – it makes every party more fun and last longer.
