For what it is worth ST18 wasn't screwing with you. From what I can tell from where he lives he is right. Jeeps being driven as Jeeps would be scarce there.
Easy to tell the mall crawlers around here (doors on or off) since they will be the ones with the heavy coat of mud all in one colour, a 5 year old winch cable still in the factory winding position with the caution tag on the end, perfectly intact and unmarked bumpers and fender flairs and a nice cover on the spare saying how great the Jeep life is. The real thing will be clean or have layers of different mud, the winch cable will look like a mangled slinky, the bumpers and flairs will be bent, cracked or scrapped and if there is even a spare tire it will not be covered.
I have never owned a Jeep but used to have a blast dune running, trail blazing or even rock climbing in the old military pattern Dodge Power Wagons or Kaiser Jeeps.

Not really sure why I got hammered when this thread was about resale value and others brought up Tacoma’s, other vehicles and I bring up Jeep since I’m an owner and resale it compares very well to Tacoma’s, better here. Another person said do I even have 86? I made it clear originally I don’t but like them and it’s a strong contender for my second dd purchase. Why do any of us buy certain vehicles? From time I was young kid I loved big tonka trucks, Jeeps, running over and through crap, but also loved sports cars. I want both! The hate for Jeep owners because they don’t always off-road has always confused me. Mustang and Camaro owners buy V8 engines, necessary? Nope, but fun. Do they all track? Nope. Are they less than if they don’t? Nope. I hate tire covers, and I agree some Jeep owners are d-bags with certain covers, stickers, winches they have. But I love mine and certainly won’t apologize for being a proud owner. Just like if I become 86 owner, won’t apologize either regardless of what s*** talkers say about torque dip.
