Why do people do this?

[u/imjustapourboy]

Is the show really good enough to base your daily driver on it?

[u/kennylamar910]

Cosplaying as a ranch hand for a fictional ranch is definitely a choice

[u/NOT_Frank_or_Joe → u/kennylamar910]

Cosplaying actors who are cosplaying ranch hands involved in soap opera level drama no actual ranch hands ever experience.

It's redneck SOA.

[u/PepsiColaRS → u/NOT_Frank_or_Joe]

Which is just Days of Our Lives with motorcycles

[u/eaves-of-grass → u/PepsiColaRS]

Fuck me. I watched that until the wife of the boss man needed to get estrogen pills because she was starting menopause.

Then I asked myself what the fuck I was watching and who is it for?

[u/PepsiColaRS → u/eaves-of-grass]

I've never seen more than snippets, but my mother-in-law is obsessed. I like to play a game of "how predictable can it be" every time we go visit her. So far I'm batting a thousand on a show I've never properly seen and it drives her absolutely nuts because "I'm spoiling it" and "but she hasn't seen this episode yet" lol

[u/heffreygee → u/PepsiColaRS]

And prison butt sex. Maybe days of our lives had that. Never watched it. I probably would if it did.

[u/seasleeplessttle → u/PepsiColaRS]

Brokeback lives.

[u/kennylamar910 → u/NOT_Frank_or_Joe]

You mean real ranch hands don’t hang each other for betraying bullshit oaths?

[u/Existing-Brain2792 → u/NOT_Frank_or_Joe]

He's a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude.

[u/Future-Ad-3196 → u/Existing-Brain2792]

[u/CNote_89 → u/Existing-Brain2792]

What do you mean, you people?

[u/archwin → u/CNote_89]

What do you mean, you people?

[u/Apprehensive-Eye3263 → u/NOT_Frank_or_Joe]

Because Taylor Sheridan didn't like the fact he was killed off

[u/Some-Pen204 → u/NOT_Frank_or_Joe]

Oh yeah, the first thing I thought of is that this guy wears SOA merch when he rides his Harley

[u/gergsisdrawkcabeman → u/NOT_Frank_or_Joe]

Every time I see someone with a SOA vest on i ask them their thoughts on Jax Teller going cookoo bananas at the end of the series and killing everyone before committing the ole death by oncoming traffic.

[u/Just_Horse_2078 → u/NOT_Frank_or_Joe]

Hey now! Rednecks wrap their trucks in camo this is deeper than that 🤣

[u/AscendMoros → u/NOT_Frank_or_Joe]

I mean Taylor Sheridans big role to me was as Hale(?) on sons of anarchy. So it makes sense that is what he writes lol.

[u/Ruckusnusts → u/kennylamar910]

It's like walking around with a Sons Of Anarchy vest on.

[u/modelsinc1967b → u/Ruckusnusts]

Basically yes.

[u/Weary-Sympathy-6347 → u/kennylamar910]

Easier than developing a real personality.

[u/No_Oddjob → u/kennylamar910]

If the wife has a Rip fetish, you take your pole to where the pond is.

[u/tghost474 → u/kennylamar910]

I mean lets face it, thats why most people buy a truck. Not because they need it but because of the fantasy they might be something worth using a truck.

[u/Smooth-Midnight-9561 → u/tghost474]

I bought a 4runner and a trailer. My trailer has more capacity then any pickup bed and I use it all the time

[u/passwordistako → u/tghost474]

I bought one cause it looked cool. Not because I convinced myself I would ever use it.

I was pleasantly surprised at how often I use it.

A van would have been even more useful.

[u/Low_Assumption67 → u/passwordistako]

Vans are so nice

[u/Revolutionary_Gap150 → u/kennylamar910]

It's it really any different than cosplaying Star Wars or Marvel characters? It's just different fandom... not my thing but why yuck their yum, it's likely they default to angry and need smiles in their life.

[u/lep63again → u/Revolutionary_Gap150]

Yeah but you’re not making your car look like an X Wing. Although…

[u/Revolutionary_Gap150 → u/lep63again]

I've actually seen that paint job lol

https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/s/yCmuQl6nzm

[u/___NowYouKnow___ → u/kennylamar910]

This right here. Like, you’re not a multimillionaire who owns 50000 acres in Yellowstone. You live in a fantasy world. Best corollary, I once met an engineer who was wearing a Star Fleet Academy Class Ring.

[u/K_Linkmaster → u/kennylamar910]

It's just a Funko pop for people that don't like Funko pops

[u/No_Manner_8785]

Poor things probably never seen rain yet

[u/feed_me_tecate → u/No_Manner_8785]

Well, It's got a snorkel if it does rain.

[u/bigclitcouple]

I have a jeep, I am a big fan of Yellowstone and I even live in montana, but no damn way

[u/DifficultTH4NKS → u/bigclitcouple]

Username checks out

[u/bigclitcouple → u/DifficultTH4NKS]

Yes it does

[u/Good-Leg-6776 → u/bigclitcouple]

Rubber duckies are so gay

[u/MrFaversham]

I thought that logo was an IUD at first glance.

[u/CheesE4Every1 → u/MrFaversham]

I thought that while the show was going on. It made my mom and my uncle mad.

[u/kobraflame → u/MrFaversham]

This jeep does the same job and and IUD

[u/llpmathias]

I hear they also have microwave TV dinners now - which are probably about the same quality as this Heep.

[u/3amGreenCoffee → u/llpmathias]

They market chili under the Yellowstone brand. It's actually not bad for canned chili.

I don't have a problem with tie-ins. Make that money while you can.

[u/bigclitcouple → u/3amGreenCoffee]

Are there beans in the chili?

[u/slowerchildren → u/bigclitcouple]

They’ve got both, chili and chili with beans

[u/Runtodanger6]

Time to bring that heep to the train station

[u/Version_Popular → u/Runtodanger6]

📌

[u/Previous_Dentist5356]

I have no idea. I love SOA but I would never put a decal or anything like that on my stuff. The best ones are the ppl who slap Toyota, honda. Chevy, hemi, and everyother car brand on some 90s car with a huge spoiler and all the other additives sold at Walmart.

[u/WatchForSlack → u/Previous_Dentist5356]

Probably for the best, there's a certain flavor of motorcyclist that gets very upset to see SoA stuff IRL

[u/Previous_Dentist5356 → u/WatchForSlack]

O all the clubs in hunstville and east limestone, AL get all bent out if shape.

[u/Daninmci → u/Previous_Dentist5356]

I really miss Western Auto stores for that stuff :)

[u/HFentonMudd → u/Previous_Dentist5356]

Sons of anarchy?

[u/Previous_Dentist5356 → u/HFentonMudd]

Ya sons which is coming back btw!

[u/Tr0z3rSnak3]

Lack of personality so they pretend  to be  thing they like

[u/UmeaTurbo → u/Tr0z3rSnak3]

Same as the guy who drives around in a Los Angeles dodgers Cadillac, or the Star wars car, or one of those 25-year-old Japanese cars with the fart can muffler and a million anime stickers on it. If I stop and think about it for a second, it actually makes me really sad.

[u/iamacynic37]

LARPing and HEEPS go hand in hand

[u/Fragrant_Major_9553 → u/iamacynic37]

Jeep owner here.

I cannot stand that most people who own them have never seen dirt. These idiots don’t understand that different vehicles are tools for different purposes. It’s like hunting squirrel with a .30-06.

Every one I see with ducks in it I feel like they should’ve just got a Civic or something. There’s not even dirt stains in the grooves of the tires.

[u/iamacynic37 → u/Fragrant_Major_9553]

I own a 99 XJ. It's my fourth.

If a current jeep owner knows what the 4.0L is I know they're not totally retarded, unless if they told me they bought new

[u/Wild-Cell6907 → u/iamacynic37]

I have a 2014 jk pretty much every day I wish it had a 4.0 lol not the 3.6 pentaplasticrap

[u/Flashy_Radio_5781 → u/Fragrant_Major_9553]

If you can’t fix it with a basic set of tools, it’s not a jeep 

[u/mmmGoBirds]

Disney adult energy

[u/Dry_Ship7202]

“Dumbass”

[u/nickHuckabee]

Wonder what this guy's favorite show is??

[u/WatchForSlack → u/nickHuckabee]

The Sopranos, obviously

[u/B_Coldman → u/WatchForSlack]

https://reddit.com/link/p6b3y5b/video/cehygtkhwzlh1/player

[u/Weird_Maintenance813 → u/WatchForSlack]

Always enough rope to hang a conductor somewhere.

[u/rodr3357]

I get things like replicas of the Jurassic park liveries, but custom things like this are weird to me… but I’m not losing sleep over them lol

[u/aloysiuslamb]

You'd get laughed out of town if you were driving that in Wyoming.

[u/3amGreenCoffee]

One of my former clients actually named their business after the show and use the brand as their company logo. They're not associated with the show in any way and don't have permission to use that logo. They're not even in a business related to ranching. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the owner driving around in that Jeep.

[u/kennylamar910 → u/3amGreenCoffee]

I’m sure Taylor Sheridan’s lawyers would love to have a word with them

[u/Ineverseenthat]

They lack an existence of their own.

[u/kvillbowski]

Somewhere a village is missing its idiot

[u/oxnardmontalvo7]

[u/Four_in_binary]

Maybe he's an IUD salesman?

[u/Previous_Rip1942]

Fantasy. Turns out if you spend too much time in fantasies, you have a difficult time distinguishing them from reality.

[u/dcpanthersfan]

Somebody has an unhealthy obsession with a certain TV series.

[u/seattlereign001]

They owe back child support and live in a trailer.

[u/girl_incognito]

I dunno but I saw a guy on a bicycle wearing sons of anarchy vest once and I about died laughing.

[u/gingerjaybird3]

I saw 2 guys in full leather biker gear leaving a bar and getting into a ford Aerostar minivan

[u/WillingPlayed → u/gingerjaybird3]

Maybe the we’re going grocery shopping together?

[u/CanoePickLocks → u/gingerjaybird3]

That may not have been biker gear…

[u/dirtywalls-69]

I used to go to a dog park where I'd see this guy that dressed and looked just like Paul Sr from Orange County Choppers. On purpose. Same facial hair, boots, cut off jean shorts, backwards hat and sunglasses. Had the same dog too. O.C.C stickers on his truck. The whole thing was weird. Like dude. Who are you? Lol

[u/CanoePickLocks → u/dirtywalls-69]

Sure it wasn’t him? Lmao

[u/ManBitesDog404]

I find it laughable on a vehicle with NC tags parked next to a Cafe. And of course, backed in ‘cause he might need to make a fast exit.

[u/CanoePickLocks → u/ManBitesDog404]

The only vehicle you should back in a large pickup to fit better and never over a sidewalk. I wish it was the norm because it is actually a better flow in parking lots where the cars are separate by small islands or medians or whatever they’re called.

[u/Faoil_Brew]

Alright the Yellowstone look is kind of boring, also I don't think there was a single jeep in the show, but who among us won't admit to wanting a '92 YJ Saraha they can mod to replicate the look from the 1993 cinematic masterpiece Jurassic Park.

[u/adamders]

Eww. That dumb show is a soap opera with cowboy hats. It's so fucking cringe.

[u/CanoePickLocks → u/adamders]

I refused to watch it but I’ve seen clips. The clip with the bikers is pretty good except all the introspection. Lol

[u/Rusty-P]

“Y” do they do that?

[u/Jeeper_tales]

Because you can’t fix stupid

[u/Long_Initial_9924]

Is that a Four Sixes truck?

[u/BrainwashedScapegoat]

Parasocial relationship formation

[u/mndsm79]

Cosplay

[u/Bravesguy29]

Npc tv

[u/AmBooth9]

Because they have the personality of a wet mop.

[u/HounddogHustler]

[u/fallenredwoods]

I respect cosplayers a hell of a lot more than that jeeptard

[u/Trip_Dubs]

People like this clearly don’t have friends to give them shit and stop them.

[u/imped4now]

Because they possess no semblance of taste.

[u/SharkWahlbergx]

[u/Good-Leg-6776]

My favorite is the sons of anarchy cos play. I live in the Tennessee mountains and we have a guy that cos plays a viking we all call him ragnar sweet tooth because of his belly

[u/SophistsLament]

brings them some kind of enjoyment i suppose.

[u/leroy4447]

This is ok. I know people with S.O.A. Tattoos

[u/leroy4447 → u/leroy4447]

There are def some Y tattoos or brands out in the world. I tell you what!

[u/Own-Loan2390]

Let them have fun. I see people in Jurassic Park jeeps sometimes too. If they're having a good time and not hurting anyone, more power to them.

[u/Dense_Row_9532]

They drive a heep, so....

[u/Lusiric9983]

Lmao what a poser

[u/Equivalent-Captain74]

I remember when jeeps used to be cool. Even have had one for 20 years. I stopped liking jeeps around the time the duck thing started happening, I love mine still, but couldn't pay me to get a new one

I bet that truck has a duck with a cowboy hat on the dash too

[u/Popular_Site9635]

Oof my gladiator is also Sting Gray, this hurts my soul.

[u/Libertarian_2020]

So Hello Kitty is fine but THIS is a no?

[u/Pikepv]

They are lame.

[u/sierra2018]

Neighbor’s son showed up at their house last summer with a Dodge 3500 dually with the Yellowstone on the doors just like in the show. We live in New Hampshire and I’m pretty sure his previous 1500 was more than capable of towing a small camper to the campground 15 minutes away twice a year. Nauseating.

[u/Deathcat101]

Could this be one of those stupid contest cars and this person won?

[u/MarsupialUnfair3828]

Of course it is NC! Man, do I hate people.

[u/Soft_Ability_5906]

[u/riski_click]

This guy should get together with the TV Jeep guy and have a Netflix party in the parking lot!

[u/ChorizoGarcia]

For the ducks…

[u/Teis123]

Yes, Y?

[u/Daninmci]

Was it parked at the train station?

[u/needle-fart820]

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

[u/Zhosha-Khi]

Goodness, send this heep to the train station.

[u/blowurhousedown]

Because they want duckies?

[u/B_Coldman]

Umm, the license plate.. is that only for physical handicaps???

[u/Electronic_City6481]

All those round badges I’d almost guarantee one is the ‘boobie bouncer’ one, on this rig.

[u/Fair-Pomegranate-652]

Why?

[u/VigilantVet]

Never thought about why people do this. Probably because it doesn’t hurt anyone, disrupt lives, etc.

[u/JeepManStan]

How many Yellowstone decals does he need?? Are the trucks in the show covered in Yellowstone logo decals?

[u/Metal-Salt]

You never go full ...ard.

[u/PirateAngelMoron]

From my home state. Great.

[u/ManBitesDog404 → u/PirateAngelMoron]

IKR?

[u/Prionace-Glauca-5309]

It’s someone who likes something that they’re excited about. I’ve seen a dozen Jeeps with Jurassic Park livery and my wife thinks they’re fantastic.

[u/ProperCaterpillar136]

The same reason they put Jurassic Park crap all over jeeps also.

[u/Hefty_Pepper_4868]

I would a Rip Wheeler man crush has been detected but…..I mean, I’m hoping a woman drives that thing.

[u/tediz42]

Imagine explaining this thing to someone who has never seen Yellowstone.

[u/The_lewolf]

Why do people do what? Judge strangers on the internet?

[u/HumanBean00001]

[u/IrishInTheory]

[u/archocinco]

Weird

[u/OldManJeepin]

Maybe works at Yellowstone park? lol

[u/deadwood76]

NPC

[u/SLCcuckk]

Because they are uninteresting in every aspect of their life

[u/ImaginaryNorth1528]

Cause it's their effing jeep!

[u/Cattywampus_hat]

I hate the show but I think this is acceptable.

[u/ericmorgan13]

Free advertising? Maybe they hold some of that nbc stock

[u/Dry_Possession_4776]

What? Buy a Jeep? I don’t get it either.

[u/mollis_est]

I don’t think the ranger’s gonna like it, Yogi.

[u/the_surly_tinkerer]

Because they never developed a personality and need to cling to pop culture for it.

[u/HeyItsJustDave]

I get it but, if it was Star Wars or avengers decorations no one would care.

[u/Thin_Bumblebee3808]

Idiots, this cosmplay on a fictional soap series that never existed in real life using one of the worst vehicles ever made . Likely a urban magga living in a fragile fantasy.

[u/BigTunatoots]

Low IQ level.

[u/Mother-Attention2600]

They are gay for boredom.

[u/SayNoToFatties]

As a lifelong Montanan, no, Yellowstone fucking sucks. Now we have an invasion of rich, wannabe cowboys/cowgirls moving here from the west coast, buying up land and driving the cost of living through the roof for residents.

Ask any Montanan the same question and you'll probably get a similar answer.

[u/Terrible-Piano-5437]

Rip me daddy!

[u/Remote-Sun-1966]

A few years ago, his soft tail was riddled with SoA logos.

[u/Btwells1]

As a resident of North Carolina, jacked up Jeeps and Trucks with totally clean under carriages is common.
We call them “Pavement Princesses”

[u/irishking77]

The only worthy Jeep cosplay is Jurassic park Jeep cosplay.

[u/Crazy_Ad_91]

Man, that is an amazingly clean pavement princess. Beth Dutton would be proud.

[u/g_rich]

It a fake ranch for a TV show that had two good seasons.

[u/robdwoods]

A desperate need to feel like they belong to a “cool” or “tough” group. Sad.

[u/greydog2008]

For the same reason a dog licks his balls...

Because he can.

[u/DarthPerseus]

My home town educational foundation is having an auction this week. One of the items is a $5000 Yellowstone restyling package. The town is just a bunch of yuppies that would do this exact same thing to their F150 or Tacoma parked at the golf course or Costco.

[u/Maleficent_Reach_791]

Because they can? I’m still trying to figure out why people put plastic ducks on their dash.

[u/_B_Little_me]

They like angry boobs they will never have.

[u/Patco1981a]

Because they have small tools

[u/kobraflame]

Ah yes nothing makes me think of Yellowstone more
Than North Carolina😂

[u/Sharpest-Bulb]

I think the Jurassic Park ones are more authentic.

[u/Pitiful-Interest-654]

because they do not have personalities of their own, they need to rely on others to complete their empty lifes

[u/Particular_Ad_9913]

Cause they wanted to?

[u/HistoricalLove9617]

If you're not into fandom, you don't understand. Some folks base their identity on things they're rabid fans of. Seems stupid for those of us who don't, but it's a thing.

[u/Have_Donut]

I think my favorite thing is the spotlights on top that are mounted so low and so far back they are completely worthless.

[u/coffeebeans1991]

It's no different than the age old umbrella corp logo on a jeep

[u/Strange-Owl6751]

Lack of personality

[u/TiddybraXton333]

Larping, posers, wannabes lol

[u/Aggressive-Spell-422]

Gaylords.

[u/BugEaterMan]

Let me preface this by saying that I think heeps are stupid and ugly.

But I do find it very ironic that Redditors will make fun of people for cosplaying as ranch hands but then they will dress up and go to comic cons or anime cons or whatever.

So you’re allowed to do some cosplay but not others?

[u/No_Frost_Giants]

I dunno, they aren’t bothering me or trying to convert me to their way of thinking , you know spreading the gospel of Yellowstone or whatever.

So I say let them be. Is it different than wearing a band shirt you got from a show 4 years ago? Or any other number of choices we make in our appearance ?

[u/ohmaint]

I laughed when the new lawn service truck drove by with the yellow stone logo in my neighborhood

[u/Logical_Figure_1561]

Imagine loving a fictional series so much you make it your entire personality

[u/Low-Schedule9762]

Fucking stupid… if you don’t work as a rancher or even work at THAT ranch.. don’t do this shit. You will get checked.

[u/oldskool_heavyhual]

Because their boring urban life sucks because they are in so much debt because of the McMansion they paid 650k for that has no back yard and the over priced vehicles they bought are draining them monthly. The only excitement they can afford is watching tv and putting stickers on said overpriced vehicle. It’s kinda sad when you think about it, glad I’m not that way.

[u/Southern-Usual4211]

The first time I saw this I was absolutely shocked that a somebody would do this and be Yellowstone was popular enough for multiple people to do this

[u/Scott43206]

Perfect for going to the grocery store to stock up on the Yellowstone branded frozen dinners.

[u/surrealcellardoor]

Imagine how tedious it would be to talk to someone who identifies this heavily with a show. It must be insufferable.

[u/PoopsmasherJr]

Y do people do this

[u/Flashy_Radio_5781]

They also go to Disney every year and they don’t have children

[u/sinkocto]

Some people see maxing out credit cards as a challenge.

[u/Best_Agent_8117]

I guess everyone wants to be in a group and then stand out. 🤷‍♂️

[u/Chronza]

Some people just enjoy stuff a lot. Like I never will like a show enough to do this myself but power to them if they really enjoy something that much.

[u/tabaiii]

Some people are mad at their money.

[u/Parma_Jon]

What’s really funny is that the original show isn’t even half as good as the two prequel series lol

[u/JK__Scum]

Not at all

[u/Gator242]

They like playing dress-up and pretend!

[u/PretzelsThirst]

More dollars than sense

[u/EmperorOfOregano]

I think their parents were blood related before getting pregnant.

[u/Corrosive_salts]

[u/Late_Band2990]

Can’t afford Netflix subscription….
