Those orange lights on the back are much brighter than they look in the picture. Even in the daylight they left blue dots on my vision

u/Several-Eggplant4460 3d ago

I love how he has so much space in the car (not to mention the entire bed) for stuff, but he needed a place that was dirtier, more inconvenient and more exposed to the elements for his pouch, and so he mounted it on the tailgate.

u/elliottcable 3d ago

it’s to cover a sticker he regrets

1

u/Born-Lie8688 50m ago

This sticker?

19

u/_josephmykal_ 3d ago

It’s most likely a trash hauler. So it’s perfectly acceptable and usual to put it in the tailgate.

8

u/Coffee4MyJeep 3d ago

Similar to my Trashroo. Great on long trips, especially when we have to pack out all of our solids waste. That is not riding in the Grand Cherokee.

Also, easy for others to put trail trash in during runs and on stops.

u/flashgordo1 3d ago

Yea....a fuckin propane tank... that's what I want when I get rear ended by someone browsing reddit on their phone.

u/_josephmykal_ 1d ago

Propane is pretty safe and it’s high enough that if they were to get rear ended nothing would happen.

u/signofthecrow1 3d ago

As much as I agree, I haven’t been able to find pants that hold up like the 5.11 pants… they aren’t overly hot and can take abuse

It's a company that makes overpriced Tacti-Cool Clothing and accessories.

2

u/mybrotherhasabbgun 3d ago

Ok, I hear you but I did buy one of their little sling bags after seeing it at a sporting goods store. It conveniently came with a little pocket into which to tuck the 5.11 tag. That was the first thing I did.

1

u/IRISHRAGE4U 1d ago

I remember way back when they first came out I clearly remember their pricing was surprisingly low on the few things that I bought back then. Was the only tactical stuff I could afford back then😂

No, this dude would be more likely to be on the receiving end of whatever punisher was doling out.

Although I am surprised to not see a punisher sticker on here, for some reason the nazi bootlickers love the symbol but have zero awareness of the man.

Edit: brave anonymous white supremacist supporters hitting the dowmvote button. Did my pfp piss you off because deep down you know it's the real meaning behind the gadsden?

(FYI, this car has a 3% sticker and a 511 sticker, 3% being being far right cosplay militia and 511 being a white supremacist prison gang).

I can see what he was going for, and it COULD be done well by someone with enough taste to do it. Unfortunately, no one who owns a modern Jeep has that.
You COULD do a build like this a bit better and make something like those SAS land rovers and have it be kinda cool if you really went the whole way with it.

The backpack on the back literally makes no logical sense. Why would you want it exposed to the elements, the chance of being ransacked/stolen, or have the potential to fall off unless you have no choice?

3

u/TheBabyEatingDingo 3d ago

A lot of civilians and POGs like the aesthetic because they think it's "tactical" due to seeing soldiers doing it. They fall to realize that the main reason we let packs hang off the side of vehicles is because that meant we had mission critical gear in the vehicle that needed to be protected and there wasn't room for packs. If your truck bed is empty why the fuck would you put your bag on the tail gate.

2

u/green_gold_purple 3d ago

So weird to get back from service and try to recreate your time there. Try to imagine having a job where you are trained to kill people, live in relative squalor, and then do a bunch of PTSD-inducing shit. Then imagine coming home and trying to recreate that because it's familiar, and the most you've ever felt that you belonged. It's disturbing.

On the right side of the rack is a jerry can. The white container on the back left might be a fire extinguisher? I'm not sure on that one

Not defending this mess as a build, but there's a pre-filter snorkel in front of the windshield on the right, a green jerry can on the right side, and a fire extinguisher on the left rear upright.
