Hood Sitters
Silly question, but I would like to ask anyway...
I've seen a few magazine 'model' shots and some scenes in some movies where people sit on the hoods of their Jeep Wranglers. I have a 2000 TJ, and I was wondering if this is possible without denting the hood. I'm not very heavy (165 lbs.), but I'm not waif model either. And the TJ hood seems pretty solid compared to the other cars I've had. |

No problem, at least for Real Civilian Jeeps.

My kids jump on the hood of my XJ all the time. Mostly when they are
climbing down from the roof rack. KH "L.W.

And they'll be 165 pounds before you know it.

Are you still allowed to carry kids on a roof rack? Do they have to wear
seat belts? Why not just strap them to the hood like we do with deer? "L.W.

They still made the big Ford LTD wagons when my daughters were just
sproutlettes. I always wanted to get a police model with the bulletproof screen so I could let the kidlets loose in the back and I would be serenely riding up front. Safe and sound, and quiet. "L.W.

Here we have it, final word: the OP asked if hood sitting was a problem
for her 00' TJ and Bill Says "No Problem .. for *Real* Civilian Jeeps"! It's good to see that TJs have finally been declared and accepted as *REAL*. Now we just got to work on the bonifieds of the YJ. It's those damned square headlights I tell ya! -- jeff L.W.(ßill) Hughes III wrote: > No problem, at least for Real Civilian Jeeps. > God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O > http://www.billhughes.com/ > > O Cachorro wrote: > >>Silly question, but I would like to ask anyway... >> >>I've seen a few magazine 'model' shots and some scenes in some movies where >>people sit on the hoods of their Jeep Wranglers.

You are welcome to take a trip to scenic Silverton, CO, and inspect the dent
in my YJ's hood. There is no reason for two of us to make the same mistake. A dent hammer and some dry ice got most of it out, but I left enough to remind me, that I don't have a Real Civilian Jeep like Bill.

That would be Civilian Jeep, or CJ. Alas the TJ isn't a CJ, so the perceived declaration hasn't been made. Sorry. Having said that, nobody cares if a topless model bends the hood a bit. |
