I have not seen one time where a legitimate question regarding a problem with the JK not being answered, or advice offered by owners of all Jeep models.
It's when the same question is raised over and over again, some JK owners do not want to hear constructive answers. They want to blame the dealer, the manufacturer for an issue that most (even other JK owners) see as trivial.
On dozens of occassions I have offered valid, sound advice or information. And somehow the advice was taken as "shit stirring by a TJ owner"..
I'm also sick of reading "If you don't own a JK, what are you doing in the JK section"... What that has to do with anything, I don't know.
So, by that logic. Cj owners can't read TJ threads. XJ owners can't read WJ threads....
Just because you don't own a particular model, doesn't mean you can't have an opinion or experienced advise to offer.
THIS IS THE REASON THERE IS TROUBLE IN THE JK SECTION
Jk owners have the same rights as any other member of AUSJEEP and have to play by the same rules.
I have never seen a TJ owner complain about a JK owner in the TJ section. Yet I regularily read compliants about a TJ owner in the JK section.
The division has to stop, we are all Jeep owners. Some of us multiple Jeep owners with different models.
Instead of jumping on the "trouble makers", how about assigning a moderator for the JK section who actually reads the entire thread and takes action against anyone who starts the personal insults.. I'd put money on a lot of JK owners with the first infractions..
And, we are Australians! we take the piss and shit stir. If it's all too much, don't play...............

Great response and but flawed in practice.
Unfortunately self regulation doesnt work and banter quickly turns to insults.
Its very plain to see reading back over the problem posts what has started the thread going from informative to trash.
Is the JK section moderated by a JK owner?
I appreciate that some people will post repetative posts about annoying details that have discussed before without doing a search. This is common to all forums and a mod can lead them in the right direction and delete the post if need be.
It wont take much to get this back on track once any nuicence posters are identified deleted..be them JK or any other owners. It just doesnt seem to be happening at the moment.
I dont think anyone wants fun/harmless banter to stop...but when you start receiving abusive PMs from people who disagree with your view point...then thats not banter.
Lets get it back on track.
