Agreed.  And most of the Jeepers I hang out with a good folks, too (same
goes for those driving the Scout 80 knock-off Broncos).. then again, I
refuse to hand out with the snotty Jeepers anyways.. :-)

Heck, Willy C. has a FC.. and he's still cool.

That was my findings when looking for a toy... Jeeps started at $3k,
Scouts were always $1k.  My Scouts came with Dana 44s, V8s, and lots
more room... why would I settle for a Jeep?

Then again.. paying that much for a rig that needs that much help to
match a Scout.. all just so you can have a "Jeep"... I don't understand. 

It's a Jeep Thing, and I *REALLY* don't understand.
