I've only been a member of this forum for the past 4 months maybe? I've only had my Jeep for 6 months and joined this forum after I saw the Rubicon videos. I read often and while I don't post a lot, I have gained a ton of knowledge here that I didn't get on a different forum. When I do get the Lift/tires/accessories I want, it'll be based on what I've seen (Eddies videos) not just what somebody says. Heck, if you followed one of the other forums, we would all have Grade 8 bolt kits and nobody would use the stock tire carrier!
To the OP's original post, most of the threads where I've seen people get upset is when they come here as say "I'm thinking about Brand x but what do you think about Brand Y?" It seems they have already decided to go with Brand X and then when Eddie (or some of the very experienced members) come back and refute Brand X, then they get confrontational and then it progresses to the"everybody else was right, this forum, blah, blah, blah. I'm watching and learning based on what I see and I see that Eddie KNOWS his stuff. When he or some of the other guys here recommend something, you can bet it's been proven. I'm going to be ordering a windshield decal and some fender decals for my rig soon and I'll proudly display them. And if someone asks me about them I'll tell them if you want the best No nonsense advice (as well as some funny stuff, too) this forum is the real deal. My :twocents:!
