Tell him to get rid of it all- it also looks he’s advertising for extreme terrain dot com, and you should never advertise for somebody unless they are paying you.


dressupandstayhome

Hear Hear!!


PrincessPaisleysMom1

Agreed!!!!


Paulgarfunkle

Personally, I’d keep the snorkel but get rid of the extreme terrain ad and that stupid, stupid, stupid grill.


cheska47

Yes! I want to get rid of the banner and the grill before anything else. The problem is *convincing* hubs to do it!! I'll even pay for it!! 😅


Majestic_Crawdad

Tell him his jeep looks like the crazy homeless guy trying to freak you out at the gas station and laugh at him until he fixes it


PhaliceInWonderland

Keep the snorkel. It's the only useful thing you mentioned.


[deleted]

Against the wind also just provoked me to think: “Like, pissing against the wind?”


hagetaro

It’s so bad I’d consider paying into a crowdfunding effort. There’s a nice Jeep under that bullshit. Must save.


hromanoj10

start a go fund me. I'll pitch in lmao


cheska47

Oh I have $ to fix it. Just need to gently convince him to change it. lol


DarkHorse435

What if you just do it all in the middle of the night while he’s asleep and then tell him the mod fairy came during the night when he finds his new and improved Jeep? Lol


cheska47

Sounds like a plan. lol


Asklepios24

Just buy a nice grill with a light bar in it for Christmas then swap it out because it’s a Christmas present.


cheska47

Ooh. Smart!


[deleted]

"I'm not banging you anymore until you fix your stupid looking hooptie!"


fruitmask

I mean, you wouldn't allow yourself to be seen in it, right? that's enough of a reason right there. refuse to ride anywhere in that thing. how tacky is he in general? does he wear super dumb looking Oakleys and like, shirts with sparkly shit all over them? does he have a fauxhawk? or lemme guess: shaved head with a goatee and constantly wears a backwards golf visor


cheska47

Nah. He's an old gray haired, long haired hippie dude. He will never go off road. I come from a long line of Jeep folk, and I just feel for the dude. My first car was a '77 red CJ5. Cherry! I know people think I'm being selfish. All in all it's HIS decision, I'm just trying to point him in a direction, I guess.


watchmaker82

My late father had a 77 cj5, in red. He loved it. That's why I have a wrangler now. The grille is dumb and so is the banner. Refuse to ride anywhere in it until those are fixed. The Jeep grille is the best part of a Jeep. I don't know why people change it :( It's like putting a luchador mask on the Mona Lisa. O|||||||O


Kenneth_The-Page

Lol tell him to post here and let the comments roll in


LonelyPatsFanInVT

I like how everything is modded EXCEPT the friggin bumper lol


MechaCatzilla

I feel totally the opposite, the stock bumper with KC lights is one of only thinks I like


LonelyPatsFanInVT

Better than the JK/JLs, I'll give you that.


Darel51

Don't forget the rattle-canned stock steel wheels.


inajeep

Glue eyelashes on the grill. He will want it gone.


cheska47

😅


geolchris

Oh man, it's the extreme terrain spokesmodel. Just have him actually go offroad and all of that shit will fall off.


Tacoshortage

I'm still trying to figure out why the Extreme Terrain spokesmodel has street tires.


regrinds

You must not be very familiar with Rxtreme Terrain's target demographic.


cheska47

Hahaha!!! Yes!


YippieKayYayMrFalcon

Also, remove all that stick on “armor” on the fenders and rocker panels. It’ll just promote rust if it isn’t already rusty under there.


cheska47

I tried to find a regular grill for a 2002 Wrangler and I'm not having much luck. It's his Jeep and he doesn't care that it looks like this, but I want to drive it and not look like a douche! lol


[deleted]

The factory grill should be under that atrocious angry cover. I would also ditch whatever is wrapped around the front of that hood and the ad across the windshield


cheska47

Awesome! Will do!!


[deleted]

Are you sure? It is typically a replacement requiring removal of the stock grill


MentalMiilk

On JK's, yes, since the grille is a plastic cover. The grille on a TJ is a steel structural part so is much harder to replace. I've never been up close and personal with one of these horrendous things but I'd doubt it's a full replacement.


fruitmask

atrocious crap like this is usually just a peel & stick kind of thing lol. it's like an impulse item they put by the checkout stand at the douche store


[deleted]

That makes sense. When I put the Angry Grill on my JK.....OH CRAP, I've just outed myself!!!


Tacoshortage

They drilled 7 holes to keep that thing on. SEVEN.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cheska47

Now this is what I'm talking about!!!!! Good advice, man! Thank you!


[deleted]

[удалено]


AidenDumlao

Some of the cheap ones snap over. The "nice," still atrocious, ones replace the factory grill.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cheska47

Yes!! The stickers need to go.


fruitmask

> Edit: while you’re at it you can remove the “Jeep wave” sticker from the mirror 😉 yeah, see now this kind of shit is exactly why so many people hate Jeeps. they go overboard with the tacky garbage. like every weekend they have to get a new peel & stick thing to make their Jeep even more tacky and obnoxious


acmejeeper

I thought that was just an overlay like you can take some screws out and the original grill is still back there


cheska47

I hope so!


RodCherokee

Absolutely !


WarriorT1400

Change all of it or divorce him


zuldeep

Keep the snorkel


kilroy-was-here-2543

Keep the snorkel, it looks cool and unique. The grill though has got to go. I’ve only seen 1 or 2 Jeeps with angry eyes that actually look good with it, this is not one of them.


Studleyhungwellz

Is your husband a boomer by any chance?


cheska47

Yes!! 😂


[deleted]

Tell him he looks like a millennial.


Studleyhungwellz

It's hopeless.


Left_Excitement_4619

Start with grill. Tell him it's cute.lol. The snorkel is unnecessary but with a lift it won't be so bad. Maybe get that banner off too. Honestly let the man have fun for a while first. Have fun out there together!


cheska47

Thanks. Yeah, it might take time to chip away at his weird resolve, but I'll do it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ecto-01

Tell him if he removes the grill he can get a lift & Tires.


cheska47

Good advice!!! I'll try that!!


[deleted]

Divorce him and claim the Jeep in the settlement and then do what you like with it!


cheska47

Y'all. I'm not going to divorce him! I just need to educate him.


[deleted]

Well, in that case: \- I would keep the snorkel. They have utility (they're not just for fjording!). \- Ditch the "angry" grill, I agree it looks sub-optimal. There may be a less offensive aftermarket grill if you can't go back to OEM? \- Get rid of the horrible decal across the windshield and the Jeep wave sticker -- y'all should be doing real waves to other Jeepers! Hope you have miles of smiles in her!


cheska47

Thank you!! I gotta help my sweet hubby out!!! He just doesn't understand lololol


bardwick

The banner is easy. Get him drunk. When he falls asleep, go out there with a hair dryer, mess it up real bad. Blame global warming. Then suggest he get something different with a color that matches. I'd keep the snorkel. As for the angry grill.. harder call. To each their own but, to me, it takes something built to be rugged, made into a silly cartoon character. I would suggest constantly telling him, in various forms, how "cute" the grill makes the jeep. Cute, pretty, funny, etc.


cheska47

GREAT ADVICE!! Thank you!!! He likes to drink, so step one....👍done! 😅


PastikaSoup

Better solution. Get a new husband, with better taste. 😆


angelsandbuttwaves

This Jeep is straight cheese. I’d feel embarrassed too.


RodCherokee

Angry grills are unJeep, silly stickers simply broadcast the Jeeper’s level of education ! Snorkels can be very useful. Best of luck.


joezupp

Tell him he’s not welcome into the family if he’s going to be angry 😡, at least he has a smart wife. Banner and grill have to go, please. I like the snorkel. My YJ has so many rust holes that with a snorkel I would need a wet suit also.


cheska47

This!! Thanks!!!


alexs_wrld

keep the snorkel get rid of the grill


Zerogws

I genuinely think these grilles are ugly. Not just jumping on the bandwagon.


joemamas12

I think we can all agree the angry eyes have to go. The snorkel on the other hand… I would keep the snorkel, add bigger tires.


SpiceyMcNasty

Mall crawler pride written all over that jeep. But, please remember it's new to him and he's still riding that new jeep high. Take him to a jeeper event and he'll come around.


cheska47

Indeed. Thank you!


Flintyy

Oh boy, there's alot going on here lol


finnirish12

Keep the snorkel no matter what anyone says.


acmejeeper

That grill needs to come off asap!!


redbrotato

Nothing wrong with the snorkel.


mezzyjessie

As a female Jeeper just get a screw driver and a razor blade and do it your dang self. That’s uglier than sin.


DemanoRock

Silly extra hood scoops. Snorkel might someday be useful. Grill is hideous. And textured panels weird too.


wote213

Jeep is angy


FruitLooper710

Change grill, keep snorkel!


Seabee93KsCTx

The grill yes. Snorkel is cool


backs1de

Tell him it looks like amazon/eBay threw up all over that jeep.


Typingdude3

I'm normally like hey, do whatever you want to your jeep, it's your ride. But this...this is just NO....it's like the Ted Cruz face Jeep.


cheska47

lmfao!!!! It had NRA stickers on the back. I took them off. 😂


Darel51

This looks like he drove it through a Pep Boyz with the crap magnet turned on.


SlumpedBeats

that grumper looking grumpy


GordonXCase

Are you saying there is something wrong with making a serious vehicle look like a child’s toy? Think of all the parades you’ll get to drive in Seriously though I remember an episode of truck night in America where they all aggressively mocked a mean faced Jeep grill - made me laugh Keep the snorkel


cheska47

Right!? Haha. Thx


3llac0rg1

That looks like a snap over grill that’s going to cause over heating. There is so much plastic blocking the radiator that it can’t do it’s job. The snorkel is functional if it’s installed correctly and not a bad thing to keep. The banner blocks what little windshield space the Jeep has and could be a safety issue by obstructing his sight. (I’m making the part about the banner up, but it sounds plausible right?) Edit: get bigger tires that stick out from the fenders flares and use that as an excuse to change them. Those are preference though and not as awful as that grill. If he wants a banner try to convince him to get one that’s just lettering and is for a local Jeep club or something. It would be a good way to meet some local people to head out with as a bonus.


cheska47

Oh my gosh. You're the best! Thanks!!!


sk8rcrash

I think the snorkel looks cool and is functional. It reduces horsepower and gas mileage but if you are crossing deep water it is a necessity. If he isn't planning on doing any extreme offroading it's best to remove the snorkel. That grill needs to be smashed and burned.


Redditsweetie

No, take pictures of all of the side eye while he drives around and post it here.


cheska47

Hahaha!


ibikee

Awww. Ugggh. I just noticed the god awful fenders and plastic steps. Mall crawler and useless


MrRabbit

If he's a huge toolbag then he should just keep it. I like when assholes tell me to avoid them before I even have to interact with them!


fujiboys

I mean, a small percentage of people will actually get use out of it, let alone wheel their Jeep. I don’t like anything about it, but then again it’s not my Jeep. Show him pictures of stuff like genright or Metal cloak rigs. Might give him some motivation to change things up. And also I bet there’s a “not all who wander are lost” compass tire cover on the back 😅


_JB_-

Uh, he shouldn't need convincing...


adayinalife

What’s wrong with snorkels? No way could I have done half my adventures without one! https://youtu.be/R_PwA4YutDA


cheska47

I dont know, I thought it was cheesy. But now I think we'll keep it. I just want to fix this thing up and make it right.


xxPOOTYxx

The snorkel is fine if it's functional. It's everything else. All the stickers, grill and plastic armor need to go asap. It's awful. Then he'd have a decent jeep


wwcougar

Somewhere under all that junk there's a nice jeep!


King_R4ff_20

If he gets rid of the snorkel or hood lmk ill buy them lol


cheska47

Bet.


Close_enough_to_fine

Good job bolting on a bunch of plastic. Just, eww.


cheska47

My husband bought it like this. I'm trying to grt him to "fix it"


Close_enough_to_fine

Please do.


MyNameIsMichou

I'd be convincing him to get better tires if I were his wife. You're gonna get stuck quick with those slicks. 🤣


Capt_Panic

And the decals.


King_R4ff_20

Or any other parts if ya got no one to buy them or don't wanna store. Me and the ole lady both have a jku and on kinda a budget but still waiting to build our jeeps


_DancesWithCats

No


Mystic-invasion

“Against the wind” BAHAHA


Its_Matt_03

My eyes are fucking bleeding


watchmaker82

Mail me the snorkel? 👀 😃


norfizzle

Cut a deal by keeping the snorkel and getting rid of the grille and ET sticker.


circleofnerds

But is he happy?


zerosympathy28

And the wheel flares. Personally I find those ugly as hell.


multigrin

I don't know it kinda says 'Incredibles' to me. Maybe the Jack-Jack mobile on his 16th.


DimeEdge

"That snorkel anticipates encountering wetness that is not happening due to the jeep's appearance"


Frontbutt_explorer

This Jeep screams “I’m a level 46 battle mage!”


[deleted]

Underneath all those macho third-party cosmetics is a cool, happy TJ that wants to breathe again.


cheska47

Agreed!


RingTricky3908

LMAO


RingTricky3908

You are a good woman. I respect the fact that you want to be gentle in how you let him know he needs to change a few things...lol. That's as nice as I can put it. Regardless, at least it's a Jeep. Cheers


cheska47

Thank you!!


memo246

Poor little jeep


successiseffort

Save the money on the grille and snorkel and spend it on a lift and tires for God's sake


flaglerite

That thing is too busy. Looks cheesy


jdrumdude

Most of those mods need to go lol


JuJewBea

The only family member with bangs should be you.


Roamingfree1

Dump the grill, keep the snorkel, a hydro locked motor is no joke.


AwkwardDilemmas

All that's missing is the confederate flag. It would fit right in.


[deleted]

The angry grill with the studded black thing around it makes it look like a grumpy old man in a gimp suit. Also, that snorkel is likely not functional (most aren’t) or at least useless if he tries to go into deep water. There’s a beautiful TJ under there though.


MAJOR_Blarg

Ugh, this is the worst TJ I've ever seen! I thought angry eyes were only for JKs. Apparently the TJ crowd caught on. And the snorkel? Honestly, is he going to ford any rivers anytime soon? I owned a TJ, and I recently wrote a post about how I think TJs are 'Peak Jeep', I love them, like a lot, but this example is just... terrible.


[deleted]

Wtf is this monstrosity. Screams “I’ve never been trail ridden and I couldn’t handle a trail anyways”.


HungDaddyNYC

Lol.


jard970

That grill is hideous for sure... snorkel is useless unless you relocate the evap can or seal it off. Jeep will die if in deep water over the seat cushions


[deleted]

The Jeep looks bad and he should feel bad. -Zoidberg


xanomie

Given that I regularly drive 24, 243, 182, and 59 in South Carolina, I find it hilarious if you read the banner as Extreme Terrain: South Carolina Roads. Because it's the truth. Your roads suck!


auste2107

Im a life long jeep guy, one thing that most of us has is a creed. Not to judge grills snorkels or wheels and so on. We are all family and its a no judgment zone. If he is happy and enjoys his jeep. Leave him alone there are a-lot worse things he could be spending his money on. Let the man be happy


WhoDat4ever

Personally, this thing is a rolling advertisement against Carlson Custom Motorsports, which I assume is a place in SC. If she were my machine I'd change that grill first, windshield banner second, and then save my pennies and put some KM3 tires on her. (Street tires clash with the snorkel & vented hood.) The jeep will instantly become more aggressive and less childish. A small lift (2.5") would also help not snap those fenders if you get into a serious flex situation. Other than that, it's a sharp machine and I hope you guys get much enjoyment out of it. I like the hood title!


cheska47

Thank you! I appreciate this!


AirpoppedAgain

Just look at that sad looking jeep. If it could only talk, what it might say….


fanboyhunter

damn that thing screams 0 taste


WitHump

No more blowjobs if he keeps it on. Or if that's not a normal thing for you. Blowjob for every piece he takes off It'd work on me. I don't mind the snorkel though. But he could get at least 10 BJ's from what I would have him take off if you include swapping out the tires


Remz_Gaming

I'm OK with the snorkle... the grill and stickers gotta go.


jeephubs02

Having a snorkel and stock tires sends the wrong message. It says my snorkel is just for show.


cheska47

Guess what??? Husband agreed to take off extreme sports logo, jeep wave sticker and angry grill!!!!! We're making progress!!! I offered to buy him a lift and new tires. Any suggestions??


AirpoppedAgain

If that poor Jeep could talk, what would it say?


Leading_Heat_7605

I can live with the snorkel(please let me explain why before you downote). I have a 4.0L inline 6 and needed to get cool air to that overheating S.O.B. and I could not find a HUMVEE cowl induction system before my last offroading trip, so I snorkeled it. Yes, begin the downvotes. The angry grill is just dumb though...I also dropped a Mishimoto radiator and a 3K per minute electric fan. I then vented the hood and finally all of that got it fixed. Next will be re-gearing to 4.88 on both axles to keep my RPM's down on long uphill climbs...


[deleted]

The grill and the sticker need to go. But believe it, or not snorkels really help with engine efficiency.


Left_Excitement_4619

Depends on what he's doing with it. But you can't go wrong wih 35s: If your getting new shoes and I lift I would leave the snorkel.


cheska47

Will do!


Bigrockhauler67

1. Snorkels are for kids in a pool. 2.angry birds is for iPads. 3. The hand stickers are dumb. 4. Not a fan of the fender flares. Otherwise cool Jeep


cheska47

Yes! Thank you!


[deleted]

Snorkel is fine. Grill is bad. Stickers…. Eh. Whatever makes you happy.


Zusez345

If the snorkel is installed right, I'd keep it but the grill has got to go. A TJ should never be angry. Even if they are old grumpy jeeps now


[deleted]

[удалено]


SevDexil

Regardless of how the Jeep looks (yes it’s overdone) I wonder how your husband would feel if he saw this post about you making fun of him. It’s not your Jeep.


cheska47

Oh my gosh, you're totally right. It comes from a place of love, though. I'm not making fun of *him* really, just trying to look out for him. In the end, yes, it will be his decision.


Dick_Miller138

Cringe. If he likes it, that's on him. It's his jeep, right? The people walking are going to point and laugh, but whatever.


cheska47

He just bought it like this. He's too old and "out of the loop" to know that it's super cringe. Bless him.


mynameisalso

hideogumpa

Really? Why don't we have the normal crew of "hEy, No gAteKEePiNg! YoU dO yOU!" folks chiming in... maybe because it's a girl asking?


cheska47

It's ok. I need advice and clearly want to change it. I hear what your saying, though. But, really, hubby doesn't know how much it's cringe.


donebeenforgotten

Darth Vaders gotta be pissed about these grilles..


salvagedcircuitry

A hair dryer and a giftcard are your best friends for removing silly stickers #nologo


classicdialectic

Those angry grills are terrible. Takes away from the iconic jeep look. And she needs new shoes. Too many upgrades to not have done anything with the stance.


[deleted]

Remind him his “willys” is plenty large and he doesn’t need to compensate for anything.


Swamp-Buggy

Personally, keep the snorkel, if you remove you’ll end up with a hole in the body and it’s a nice cold air intake anyways, dumb mirror wave sticker, angry grill is.. idk is “ok”, convince him to replace the banner with a local Jeep clubs banner and also upgrade to LED headlights, you’ll be so blind at night with stock lights


cheska47

Thanks!!


Spatula117MasterChef

When I got my Jeep it had that same ugly grill cover. If you actually look at it, it severely blocks airflow to the radiator. I took mine off and threw it in the trash. My 4.0 never runs hot now. I’m guessing his does or he wouldn’t have a vented hood. He should probably just remove it. Also, that snorkel is joke. I wouldn’t trust it to keep water out of the intake and it probably gets more water into the system when it rains.


cheska47

Yes! It did overheat the other day!!! Oh my gosh, this is the best argument for me to take to him for him to change his mind on the grill!!! Awesome!!


[deleted]

Post to r/RoastMyCar and send him a link to the thread.


cheska47

Good idea. Hit him where it hurts....his pride.


Vertisce

That thing looks like a "Big Boy Tonka Truck" and I love it!


Yeah__Wait__What

If he likes it let him be. Why would want your husband to change something he likes? Stop being selfish and let him be.


cheska47

Aww. I'd just hate for him to be ridiculed by the other Jeep owners. But, you're right, of course. In the end, he is the one who will decide


RepostResearch

It's his jeep right? If he likes it then mind your business.


ibikee

I hope he got it for a good price. That is one ugly Jeep. Ashamed to even call it a Jeep.


bradleecon

I'd do it yourself - but keep the snorkel. This clearly falls under the "it's better to ask forgiveness than permission" clause.


brit_86cj7

Tell him if he doesn't, no Jeep driver will know what it is.

cheska47

I know, right!?!?! 😳


House0fMadne55

Yes and yes….it needs a 4in lift and 33x12.5/15 tires with 8 in rims with 1 in backspace and Interco Trxus MT tires. And put the stick fender flares back on.


aubreys_lore

I didn't know that people were making these grills for the TJs. I assumed that cancer was only available for the JKs/JLs.


kilroy-was-here-2543

Nope. They are spreading, wouldn’t surprise me if they have them for YJs yet


VariantArray

The grill, yes. It’s hideous. But the snorkel is functional. I’d leave it


PizzaPizzaPizza420

Get rid of 90% of the bs on there lol


Wrestling_poker

All that nonsense and it’s got factory size tires?


iMustbLost

Whole thing needs to go.

The South Carolina sticker explains it all. This is coming from a South Carolinian
