New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Found it.

 

This was taken along some dirt road next to the Switchback trails up in Cloudcroft

 

Got a lecture today on how superior a Jeep is to an FJ Cruiser. Because, you know... solid front axle and convertible...

 

I've had fun with jeeps plenty, but dear. Lord, I do love independent front suspension when it comes to almost every last mile I drive. And if I'm honest, I do miss my time in luxury sedans sometimes, since almost all of my miles are highway miles.

All depends on what you want to do.

 

I tried to point that out with the example of desert racing and the advantages of an IFS. He swore a Jeep was just as good with its 4 link suspension.

You can drag a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

 

To be fair, I consider part of adventure to be taking inappropriate equipment to out of the way places. Even have a picture of me on my loaded down ducati st3 crossing a "river", so I really shouldn't judge.

Found it! Power ranger suit and everything. :-D

 

Totally different circumstances. You admit the equipment is sub-optimal. This guy would not. I almost asked him if he was concerned about his penis size. Instead, I got real quiet. Made him nervous enough with the silence that he babbled on some more to fill the empty space.

 

The I am trying to think of something funny to come back with, but I fear nothing won't end horribly.

It can be funny to go silent and just see what people do with silence, though, ain't it?

Edit: good call on not asking about compensation, though, no way that goes well!

 

I was thinking to myself, "why the hell is this guy defending himself so much when I haven't said a thing about his jeep?"

What ever happened to "spend your money on damn well whatever you want to spend it on because, you know, it's your damn money"?

Otherwise, he seems like a nice guy. Thought about inviting him out for one of our adventures.

 

Speaking of adventures when is the next one? since I missed last Saturday's shoot

 

Racing for pinks seems to be the only logical answer here. Since it's a challenge to see which is the ultimate we will need to include some street, rocks and desert racing on this course. Let's do this!!!

 

Lots of empty space inside the heads of some Jeep owners. On the Miata forum, some young guy was getting all internet macho about how great his Grand Cherokee was compared to a Tacoma; I wondered out loud in the thread why we never, ever saw any Grand Cherokees out on the rocks. He became quite agitated, and all the other Jeep guys came to his defense, like army ants. Still don't see 'em on the rocks, though.

 

does 4 wheel parts have nitrogen for shocks? last i heard it was 20$ a shock but does anyone know of anywhere else?

 

I can charge shocks. $20 for both fair?

 

Yea if you don't mind! i need my rear bypasses and front coilovers. heres what i got going on. should be finished up this week and I'll let you know I can bring it by(coilover isnt fully seated/mounted)

 

Looking great!!! I can do it this week if you really need to, but will be out of town this weekend. Any time after that is perfect. I am taking my wife and kids to CA on Saturday where they will stay for a month. So I am trying to get in as much family time as possible this week.

 

yea its going better than expected! waiting on tube couplers from ruffstuff and then i can finish it all up! Family comes first man spend time with them. ill finish it up this week and swing by sometime next week. whatever works for you! ill post pics when its all finished

 

Awesome! If you need 1.75" ones I have some on my tool box right now... You can bring m replacements when you get them if you want. I believe they are ruffstuff ones as well.

 

i was gonna do 1.75 but the tubing for the bypass tower was just a little too big to fit all in there so i went with 1.5 tube and sleeved it with 1" on top running into the coilbucket mount.

 

got a couple buddies that work there. just like 2 24 packs of red bull and they will fill them haha but getting them to do it is a pain haha
