Poser\'s Information
I found this surfing the web. Thought some of you might enjoy it. It came from David Moller's 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport Web Page.
Jeep Posers
poser n 1: a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not
Please note: For the most part, it takes more than one of these items to be a poser. Please don't be offended if you resemble one or two of the characteristics. It's all in good fun, and simply based on behaviors I've seen, and messages I've read on newsgroups and mailing lists. I've even been guilty of a couple of these. Feel free to email me with your own favorite 'poser' identification traits, and I'll be sure to add them to the list.
If you worry about where to put your windows when your soft top is down, so they don't get scratched, you might be a poser.
If your bumpers and/or rocker panel protection are tubular chrome, you might be a poser.
If you don't know what Trac-Lok and a Dana 44 are, but got them anyway because someone said you should, you might be a poser.
If you shift into 4WD just because you're on a gravel road, you might be a poser.
If you know the R.T.I. score for your Jeep, but there isn't a single scratch on your undercarriage, you might be a poser (or your rig is equipped with the Mount Everest lift kit!).
If color was a major consideration when buying your Jeep, you might be a poser.
If you have bodyside steps (not counting rocker protection that can be used as a step), you might be a poser.
If you consider stereo equipment to be a 'modification', you might be a poser.
If you consider your alarm system to be a 'modification', you might be a poser.
If you don't have room in your Jeep for your recovery gear and other trail necessities because the space is taken up by subwoofers, speakers, amplifiers, CD changers, etc., you might be a poser.
If you don't have tow hooks, you might be a poser (or you have a damn nice rig that has no chance of getting stuck!).
If you don't have a Hi-Lift jack or equivalent, you might be a poser (can you imagine trying to change a tire on the trail with the stock jack?!).
If you won't drill any holes in the frame or body because the Jeep is leased, you might be a poser.
If scratching your paint is a major concern to you, you might be a poser.
If you bought aftermarket alloy wheels, or the 30" tire/wheel package, and worry about scratching your rims, you might be a poser.
If you equip your Jeep with larger tires because they look cool, but don't have the fender clearance to make it over a speed bump without rubbing, you ARE a poser.
If you put a cover on your spare to 'protect' it, while your other four tires and wheels are constantly exposed to the elements, you might be a poser.
If you want to install those 'cool headlights that look blueish white', you might be a poser.
If you want to know if a Jeep Wrangler can go 80mph (or some other absurd speed) for an extended distance, you might be a poser.
If you only run your Jeep with a hard top because the wind noise with a soft top bothers you, you might be a poser.
If you actually let the fact that Sahara models have fender flares painted to match the body color influence your buying decision, you might be a poser.
If you let someone else (buddy, shop, etc.) do all the modifications to your Jeep, you might be a poser.
If you have never run a trail in a stock Wrangler, yet you still install a suspension lift, larger tires, and some lockers on your Jeep 'just because', you might be a poser.
If you are concerned about your door hinges remaining 'Solar Yellow' when mirror relocation brackets are installed, you might be a poser.
If your spare tire still has the little rubber spike things on it, you might be a poser (or real lucky that you haven't had to use your spare!).
If you actually lock the doors on your soft top Wrangler, you might be a poser.
If you spend over $4,000 on Jeep accessories and modifications, and you are most impressed by the bug deflector, you might be a poser.
If this is your page (http://community-2.webtv.net/G_R_E_E_D_Y/JeepWhosaystheycant/), you ARE a poser!
If you say that you turned your Jeep Sahara into a Renegade "by removing the Sahara Decals and replacing them with factory Renegade decals", you might be a poser (although from what I can tell, this guy isn't).
If you intentionally ordered your Jeep without the Dana 44 (so you could get ABS), you might be a poser.
If you want to replace your factory soft top windows with "those cool tinted replacement ones", you might be a poser.
If you bought the Jeep Emergency Kit, and the Jeep CD Boombox, you might be a poser.
If it took you a while to figure out how to lower your Hi-Lift Jack (after jacking up your Jeep), you might be a poser.
If you sign your post with the color of your vehicle (i.e. '00 Solar Sport), you might be a poser.
If you had your Jeep lifted three inches, but still don't know what sway bar disconnects are, you might be a poser.
I may not like what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
