That’s the same face that Jeep’s brand managers make too.

I’ve noticed that alot of older people did this, and in some places in the South they still do this. It seems like there was a point post-war where a Jeep was kind of a term for any of the small off road vehicles like the Jeep™. I’ve seen thinks like FJs called Jeeps before in a bunch of old movies and referred to in books. I kind of did too when my brother had his Tracker. Nobody knew what it was, so we started calling it a “Jeep thing” until people started getting offended because it’s apparently a Barbie Beach Mobile.

People loosing their marbles get a pass... For someone who does this for a living though, in the immortal words of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman:

“I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!”

It’s really just the American way, same as all tissues being Kleenex, all cotton-swab-on-a-stick being Qtips and all personal water craft being Jet Skis (or maybe Sea-Doos in some areas)

I wouldn’t even say losing their marbles as much as the fact that Jeep wasn’t a #brand until after its reputation was already solidified among millions of servicemen. Jeep predates Jeep™. Remember, they’re the ones who called it a Jeep, not the people selling it. If their opinion is that any small minimal off road vehicle is a Jeep, I don’t care.

I think it’s passable if it’s from inside. Old jeeps and current defenders look pretty similar inside.

Sorry, according to Google image search they actually started putting -an interior- into them after they stopped selling them here. The ones we got still have that “military truck look”

You know, like old jeeps.

You mean the old CJ’s? There have been quite a few iterations since then.

Yeah but I’d more expect to see an older, probably ex-military truck in a Safari Park than something brand new.

Toyota and Land Rover sell specially outfitted FJ’s and Defenders to Safari companies and they’re all civilian vehicles. Last time I was in the bush I the ranger was pretty chuffed with his new Land Cruiser, until he got stuck in a river bed and the one the Defender’s came to pull him out. Man did he get chirped at on the radio the rest of the day lol.

Huh. Interesting. I suppose it makes sense.

That’s a nice Jeep in that top picture.
