But also bear in mind that many of us don't have access to welders, pipe benders, cutting torches, or even air tools.
Sparky, let me explain a little deeper the challenges we face at
J Rations.
We have a vehicle that spans more than 60 years. We've got the military jeeps and the civvy Jeeps. We have all the early civvies, the various Wranglers, the full-size Jeeps, the XJs, the ZJs, the Liberty, the Commander and now the Compass. That's the vehicle side of things.
Then we have people new to the sport, with stock Jeeps and very little knowledge on how to even approach a trail run. On the opposite end, we have the extreme runners who live for the Rubicon et al. and Jeeps that are so built up they hardly look like Jeeps anymore.
When it comes to tech, the picture runs the gamut from those who don't even know how to change the oil to enthusiasts whose Jeeps hardly have any OE parts left on them.
Then, there's the East Coast vs. West Coast terrain and land access issues. Is it rocks and sand, or mud and woods? Well, everything!
Our job is to try to speak to everyone, and it can be a tricky balancing act. You can expect to see a wide variety of tech in
J Rations, but the focus will be on easier, more affordable work. Oh, we'll throw a dream job in every so often, but it will be the exception rather than the rule.
Like Lincoln said, You can please all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. (I paraphrased because we aren't in the business to "fool" anyone ever!)
