eheathwealthy people don't drive jeep wranglers, just a heads up
ajbskiNot really anything on the market has got a solid front axle anymore. Last truck I had with a solid front was a 98 ram 2500. Jeep’s even have coils all the way around. I think they have a marginally better ride than any pick up with leaf springs. Meanwhile pick up sales have been up over the last couple of years.
driftsonly currently offered solid front axle vehicles in the US are ford f-250/350, ram 2500/3500, jeep wrangler, and Mercedes G-class
ajbskiG class too? Damn gotta get me one of those
edit: oops

driftsjust found out they ditched it in 2019, so down to the ford, ram, or jeep for a new solid axle front vehicle
ajbskiI’m still surprised the wrangler has an option for it. Probably the gladiator then too.
I guess they offer front locking diffs on the rubicon. Only real reason for it.
the HD trucks I get cause it gives you a bigger payload capacity
driftsthe only thing good about a wrangler is a solid front axle lmao jeeps teased ifs wranglers and people go ape shit over it, if they do it they'll lose all their customers to the bronco. also yeah the gladiator, forgot that ugly piece of shit excuse for a truck existed
you can have a locking front ifs diff, don't know if anyone offers them factory, the new bronco might?
ajbskiI’ll never understand who is buying trucks with a 4.5’ box. They could of made the gladiator so nice
FruitBootProgenuine question, can someone explain to me why people here don't like the brands
is it because of their business practices or the people behind them?
is it because their stuff is mid?
or is it another weird NS core superiority complex thing?

CantThinkOfaNamewait wait wait, you guys only hate dopesnow cause their shitty marketing team? wow, this really is a smooth brain forum. don't hate a company for shitty gear or anything, hate a company because they post silly things on instagram
asparagusIt’s the fact that they are making insane profits while skipping the part where you sponsor good athletes and pump money into the industry. It’s like skateboard companies that only sell online; you aren’t helping skate shops and unless you sponsor a dozen people you’re aren’t any better than a walmart board company
asparagusmy man just called jesper tjader stupid

eheathmeh, theyre just as expensive as any other SUV/Truck idk what people see in jeep honestly.
ajbskiwhat drifts said. i like that guy.
but also ns core superiority thing. Basically anything that is designed and marketed for the mass ski market (europe), the hipster in ns takes over. dope/montec are the like top 40 hits while ns listens to some shitty underground rapper/alt surf rock. its crazy the snobbery that goes on around here. im trying to burst this way of thinking on ns. so 2015
eheathInstagram changed how skiing is marketed, brands don't have to pay athletes to get exposure in a movie or event, they can just hand out free gear and get tons of marketing via instagram.
I understand why this would make you upset, but the truth is this is how most ski brands operate these days, athletes are getting less money than ever.
asparagusExcept there sorta is something we can do about it. Talk shit about companies that don’t support skiers and hopefully we can make a difference. All the companies I support help out skiers that I like. Would I really drop $30+ on a tall t just because I like the look? Probably not, but the fact that they support/supported most of my favourite skiers makes me inclined to buy their shit
Christian_BaleWith any group in skiing there's always an "us and them" where some people feel a sense of superiority to the masses outside their little group. That being said, you're implying that people don't like dope/montec because of that feeling of superiority, when there are other valid reasons for not liking those brands.
Potential buyers care about whether the stuff looks good and who's on the team, which would ideally be full of skiers that they like/respect and want to support. In all honesty, social media presence is also important these days. Reputation and brand recognition is important. Putting effort into team videos (vishnu, surface, jetskis, faction, on3p in the past) is also important to some people. If you evaluate brands like dope or virtika using this criteria, then it becomes clear why a lot of people don't like them.
ajbskiThese are fair points.
I just feel like sometimes ns likes to hate on stuff just cause it doesn’t match their persona. if you wanna rock a dope jacket cause you like it, go right ahead. Anyone who disses you for it is way out of line.

GnomesAreRealDope snow is the most soulless clothing brand in skiing/snowboarding I’d rather wear montec from head to toe
skiermanI read ]4% of this thread. That's how much I don't care about social media brand companies. Its sad if you care more than this, including you eheath. Fucking idiot.

armchair_skierIf you use this much mental power thinking about other ppl’s poor taste in clothing brands you will never be successful or cool.
