Remember when we used to post Interesting crap on this board about 2-3 months ago?

What the hell happened? This place is dead now.

Look---> there goes a tumble weed now:flipoff2:

Link something 'interesting' then and prove it!!!

IMO this place is populated by a bunch of old farts re-living their glory days. :flipoff2:

Heh heh..

Y'know, no one won the Pot about "How long before Tom blows up the Comer 304"..

no one bet "more than a year"

:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

First motor lasted one weekend (well, died on the last day).

Second one survived about 6 months..

Another good question is how long will the new Bilsteins I just ordered from Bob Roggy last...

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/attachment.php?s=&postid=230661

Just two for now. :( But I'll double them up with the two 12" Rancho 5000s I bought at Roundup last year.

Either that, or cut the bed and move the Ranchos out back..

Too bad I had to go n' break one of the 14" Dick Cepeks..

Dang, I've been spending too much money lately. :D

New floor jack, new toolbox, new rollaway, ball-joints, wheel bearing seals, ball-joint press..

The madness must stop! :D

Then what are you doing wasting your time surfing a site you hold in such low esteem?

Winter time. No one is out breaking things. It is always like this in the winter. All the boards slow down.

But, I'm going out Saturday, so I'm sure I'll break something, have a nice novel to post, and lots of pictures...

I check in here at least once a day but I usually don't post anything because I'm not very interesting:(

Nothing interesting happening here, just using the scout to get to the duck blind, not much breakage hauling decoys down a levy. At least it gives me a chance to drive it, even tho it has a tendency to ice up the old BALLS with no doors, 21 degrees, raining straight down, and nothing but a canvas tarp over my head:D

Burt Reynolds fan,
I don't hold the site in low esteem. Just trying to stir up some shit and maybe see some of the posts that he is talking about.

Nobody bit 'cept you. Too bad.:p

I'm just a nobody newbie until I make a name for myself. Either by being a PIA or by helping. You get more recognition by the PIA route. Usually I try to help but I had the little devil on my shoulder all day :evil:

I'll still pull your Snout out of the ditch with my chebby!
:flipoff2:

Okay, here's what my Scout has been up to....Nothing! nothing but rusting while I build a cage & Bumper for a Toyota, three more cages for some Jeeps, and one for my neighbor's SII. Then, it's Final Atlas installation (I still have to cut out the old cross member and fab a new one) finish my own cage, get my new (Well, new to me:)) 60's narrowed and installed. Other than that, I'm doing nothing...o-yeah, my DD (92 4-Runner) blew a head gasket for the second time--Nice!

Anyone looking for a set of ~62" 44 front and SF 60 rear? I'll be selling them shortly

Hey, that's just about the same thing mine's been doing, too!

Y'know, I've driven it once in the last month.. moved it from beside my GF's 800 to behind it. In the process I managed to *HIT* her 800.

The "good" news is I didn't hurt the 800.. did add a new gouge to my RF fender and ripped off the "IH" badge though.

*sigh*

I was just trying to make more room for parking.

Three weeks it'll get to play again though.. we're going to try to bundle up enough to brave the elements.

Maybe it'l be 60 like it was yesterday (WOW).. but then there'd be NO snow to play in. :(

I've been building a garage pretty much since March. :(

At least it's now wired and I got to do some wrenching tonight. Got the remains of the blown up D44 out of the racer. Now to install new balljoints, reinstall the knuckles on the new housing, heave-ho it back under..

Warranty my Checker tie-rod AGAIN..

Sooner or later my neighbors will hear the crackle of open headers again. :D I know they can' t wait..

Wanna add another cage to the list? After March I want to do the cage on my rig. You game?

Do you really want to install that Atlas, it's pretty heavy I'll take it off your hands for free.

I look into my crystal ball, and see this will be a very busy site next week. :D

it is a newbie run. Gonna be some carnage :D I'm taking lots of pictures. Gonna be jeeps there too. Oooooh. Lots of pictures...

my goals for this run...

Don't peel a bead, don't blow a hub, don't blow a tranny, don't spring a leak, make it to the top.

We have to reach a little, don't we???? :D

Sure...I'll pencil you in...but It looks like I am backed up for a little while with all the others. And my GF keeps making me help her with the wedding plans. When did you need it done by? Memorial Weekend?

You know, I would but, something tells me that my Scout just would not drive right without a t-case:flipoff2:

Uh, Hooper...you own a Scout...if it's not leaking then your empty:flipoff2:

Ahhh. Yes. There is that. I don't mind the IH drip. But, leaks at more than a quart an hour bother me.... :)
