Just an honest question.

I know you're in college and I've followed the build-up you're planning and the parts you're purchasing. How rich are your parents?

You do that job year round? Seems like ~$20,000 worth of shit and if you made that in one summer then your right it does pay really well :eek: Aren't you also the guy who dropped $4K on a supercharger for your 4-banger?

LOL... I think there are cattle futures in there somewhere... I have a badass job and do it all year round... I get free rent and all my bills are paid... I still couldn't afford to do a buildup like that right off the bat... Those parts are just too fawking expensive and the little shit is what kills you.

first of all, he's not better off than anyone, his parents are.


Second of all, i couldn't care how much his parents give him, as long as he appreciates it for what it is.

Every dime i spend has a drop of my sweat on it, i've earned the right to be proud of everything own. Everytime i buy a part, or a tool, that means i eat ramen noodles, and PBnJ for the rest of the week. That's my sacrifice, because i want to make something of myself, that's why I have the right to be proud of what I do have.

He has to take no responsibility for his actions. If he quits his job, or decides tomorrow that he wants to be a rodeo clown, he can always go back to mommy and daddy's to eat, and they will always give him a twenty for some gas.

So what, it's a wheeling web page, not let us beat up on trust fund children. :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby:

Ok, I am not by any means a trust fund child and I have worked my ass off at everything from concrete forms to burning toxic waste so you all can kiss it. I bought my jeep completely and 90 percent of whats on it or about to be on it I have paid for personally. The rest is christmases and birthdays and things like that. If you want to rant and rave you should do it on account of my sister who had her truck bought for her by old mom and dad.

I appreciate my parents for supporting me right now. All my money goes toward jeeps. The last thing that I bought that was not jeep related was my TV almost a year ago. As a matter of factr i have sold all my DVDs and I am trying to sell my play station right now so that I can get drive shafts. So dont tell me I dont appreciate this stuff.

In short, I am not sorry that I have parts. We all do what we can and I am just doing the same. Just thought you guys might be interested in what I am doing.

Come awn guys... does it really matter? Just do what I do.

When I go to sell a part, the buyers personal finanaces come in to play. If they got $$$ then fair market value it is, not a penny less. If they are dirt ass poor and need it, I'll go so far as to give it away. (Since I am better off). If I give up a sale to the $$$ guy so teh poor guy can benefit. So be it.

Hey, Jeeper! Didn't you just post some pics a few months back showing that you had just gotten that thing done? If so, then it's good to know there are a few other clowns like myself out there who are never satisfied! Have fun, what's in store for the suspension, or did I miss that?

No motherfucker I was just asking. Shut your fucking pie-hole towards me and rip the other guys saying he's got a silver spoon.

What part of "just an honest question" didn't you understand? :shaking:

He answered my damn question in a civil manner because I phrased it in a way so as not to offend. You on the other hand tried to read between the lines and got it all wrong.

I just got a new Bobcat about 2 weeks ago, man that thing welds nice. Maybe I'll get one of those Millermatics or a Plasma cutter next year. Now I have no money to work on the jeep with.
:( So I just build what I need. :flipoff2:

sounds like someone still has axle-wrap issues??

maybe if you had a rear control arm, your driveshaft wouldn't have exploded...

Have you called Jesse yet?!!!!
