As you can see from the images I took from the video, this did not
go the way it was planned. Sometimes you just have to ask,

"Whatever happened to that voice in
one's head that's supposed to say,"

"BAD IDEA"!

Just so you know, the only things hurt real bad was the truck,the guys pride, and his pocket book.

[Harold Shea]

The bad thing with the carb equipped Jeeps they would starve for fuel sometimes on a steep incline..found that out the hard way about halfway up a hill

Yeah. The XJs have been fuel injected since the 80s. The four-bangers were beginning in 1986, the V-6 was used for three years (84, 85, 86) and was carbureted. They dropped the V-6 and went with the Straight six 242 (4.0) in 1987, and those were all fuel-injected in the XJ.

I have a '75 Bronco with the 302 and original carb, and it stalled out bad just having a little fun on a quick little knoll. The XJ I have just drives right up (completely stock).

What’s that they say, JEEP = “Just Empty Every Pocket?”

Yeah, but with most of them, it's a "wanna", not a "haveta".

Immelmann turns are best left to airplanes.

Too true.

This guy (my pal) was funny, he really didn’t know squat about cars, not that he wasn’t smart, he just never went through that phase of working on cars & wasn’t very mech inclined. To his credit, it was because he made good money early on in his working life and never had tosrimp for a car.

So he buys this Jeep, and I keep getting these calls...

“Hey Al, what’s a tailshaft?”
“Hey Al, where’s the clutchplate at?
“Hey Al, what’s a motor mount?
“Hey Al, what’s a yoke?”
“Hey Al, this guy says I have this thing called a transfer case”

So I of course try to educate, it not being especially easy over the phone with a total newb, but I start keeping this mental running total of about $175 per question in my head, LOL. About 57 questions later, I figure he’s up to 5 figures, and I wasn’t far off!

You’re talking to an ex-biker chick. I used to dice with my boyfriend (now Hubby) and our pals.

Interesting.

The more I learn about you the more you remind me of me.

It’s amazing the people the Lord calls to Him.

A bud of mine from a former life once broke his arm in a TOUCH FOOTBALL game at a church picnic. He was in his mid-thirties, married, gorgeous wife, nice brood of kids and a responsible corporate job.

I asked him how a guy in his position could break an arm in a TWO-HANDED TOUCH CHURCH FOOTBALL game.

He told me the other guys in the game all played high school football as well and when the competitive instinct turned on, the brain turned off. I told him it was just like a guy having sex, LOL!

My first thought is "where do they get the money for this foolishness"? You think that way when you are struggling to put food on the table I guess. I love drag racing, but I always cringe when I see pistons and shrapnel flying all over. Well, there's another $20 grand. Get that spare motor out of our $30k trailer pulled by our $60k dually.

Me...... pass the soup dear, a couple of more days and I can fill the tank.

[TheOldLady]

[cough] Um... Interesting!

[OneVike]

Me...... pass the soup dear, a couple of more days and I can fill the tank.

Amen brother, amen.

I don't begrudge any man his fun if he earned it. As for me, I woke up to reality much too late in life to be able to spend so much money on toys.

When things break around my house, I either decide what I will do without to replace it, or learn how to fix it. Usually I fix it. So now I have a 25 year old lawn mower, a 22 year old Toyota 4X4, a 17 year old projection floor model TV (knock on wood), and the original X-Box for games.

Through the years I have learned to fix many things, even my laptop has been fixed, upgraded, and nudged along into the future past it's prime. Now if I could just fix my wife I could eliminate a lot of medical bills. As it is, I'll let the medical world fix her.

My first thought is "where do they get the money for this foolishness"

How to make a million dollars racing - start with 2 million...

[Vigilanteman]

You sound like my father. Except he was a veterinarian, so we saved money on medical bills as well.

When I was 10, I broke my arm and he set it. The MD who had did my brother's arm the year before did such a lousy job and charged so much, my Dad said he'd done better work on a horse.

The only complication was getting the cast off. Dad didn't have one of those dandy cast removing tools, so had to use a string saw.

Thanks for the ping!

My vet was in Vanderbilt hospitall dying,the Dr’s didn’t know what was wrong.

He finally convinced them it was Bangs and he survived,barely

We might be related. My lawnmower is at least 20 years old from my father. I have my father in laws old craftsman that won’t idle.( governor) I picked a Husky 42 in cut out of the trash that needs a transmission. I have a 1997 Merc with a blown head gasket, a 1991 GMC that needs a pickup coil, and a 1986 Jimmy that I drive. I have a computer that I built up after I bought a discontinued MB from FRY’s. All other stuff is trash except for the HD I bought from Ebay. I have 4 screens to trade stocks during the day and use donated tube monitors. Laptop was donated by my niece with no LCD. Replaced the converter and have a laptop with a battery that lasts about 10 minutes. Almost everything I do, I have to fix something first. People are dying for me to spend money, but I just say, “Why?” It’s just to cold for me to crawl around in the garage to fix stuff. Besides, I’m to busy on FR to get anything done. The $20 I have in my billfold has been there for several months now. My wife has all the money and spends it for me so I don’t have to.

[OneVike]

You have got to be my long lost twin... LOL

My wife tells me if I have anything in my wallet, and my 20 year old lawnmower is from my father-in-law.

Even my real name is Chuck.

For the last 15 years everyone around me has splurged on anything they desired while my wife and i skimped and kept costs down.

Now our home is paid off, and we are still scrimping, but many of those we know who used to spend spend spend are either getting a divorce because of money troubles, or losing their homes.

The divorce is because they never learned to put up with each other through the years. Now that they are broke and need to spend some time at home they have found out they cannot stand each other.

Life is an interesting ride for sure. Catch you later cuz!

[chuckles]

WOW! I got goose bumps reading your post. Maybe we are the same person with bipolar disorder or dual personalities,......only the same personality,.......huh? I’m so confused.
