    Anyone that doesn’t like my shorts and flip flops can eat a bag.

    I though to myself. How appropriate considering.  Lol

  2. Damn April snow ‘storm’ killed my cucumber starter. The tomatoes survived but just. They were on the struggle bus for a couple weeks. One should be good.  One may not produce much. 
     

    at least the mountain has some killer snow for the rest of the late ski season here.  All the way through may! Hell yeah. 

  3. News? Eh not so much but was at the Portland v Oregon game last week. Played at Portland.  Nice little ballpark they have.  Had a good time getting my baseball fix since fucking pierce doesn’t want to play on the west coast anymore.

  4. To clarify a bit. I want a custom suit for my wedding. We don’t have a knot standard where I am but I will be in Austin next month so may schedule a fitting. There is an indochiino here though. (On second thought that’s not what I want I think.  They don’t seem that nice.) I need to find a small local to make one I think would be best. 
     

    so is knot standard really that good? Worth working with them even though I’m out of state? 
     

    reveal suits?

    Tires and wheels are stock for now.  He's looking to lift it though which I'm afraid will just make it worse.  I'm thinking about doing a tune up on it (coil pack, plugs, and wires).  Maybe that will help.

    Highly unlikely.  Todays cars typically can detect problems with the ignition long before you can as a driver. Emmisons and shit are tightly controlled. Even on jeeps. 
     

    he’s probably sitting about right for what these jeeps are and where/how he drives. 

    I wouldn’t put to much thought in this myself.

    Just for a baseline on my references I spent 20 years wrenching at a dealership  half of which were as a master tech and or shop foreman.  Take that however you will. 🤘

    I will stop now for the moment as I'm probably testing the boards patience with Georgia State Panther talk. .  

    I was just about to say probably time to start a separate thread. I enjoy following your updates on ga st.  Always fun to root for the little guy to make the tournament have a run. 
    the two above were nice updates and additionally details.  More I would be appreciated. 

     

    me being born in that redneck state is also part of my interest but….

  7. Metled fuel tank. Fuel tank leaking. Worse then I’d imagined. 
     

    tl:dr part

    Little back story….

    About 2 years ago I was wheeling down firebreak 5 (it’s a great moderate difficulty trail here in Oregon) and bent my tail pipe into a 90° and chocked the engine off. Sawed the tailpipe off just near the axle so I could finish the day and drive it home. No worries in the world.  Until I filled up gas and got on an incline and fuel started pouring out of the tank!

    the tail pipe was pointed right at the top corner of the tank and melted it. A little scary but any who. Got some fuel tank patch to patch it up quick(didn’t have to remove tank. Just reached my hand up there and cleaned it up a little and bit the goop all around) and started looking into a new tank. Also went ahead and fixed the entire exhaust system by tucking it up tight to the body. 
    fast forward 18 months(last April) . Kind of forgot about the tank because with patch seemed to be holding. No leaks. No smells. 
    out wheeling the rubicon for 4 days with some buddies. Guess what starts leaking out of my tank when on an incline? Yep. Fuel. Buddy had some liquid metal JB weld stuff so we patched it together again and finished the trail. It was holding nicely yet again. 

    ordered a new tank as soon as I got home but procrastinated until this weekend putting it in. 

    Holy shit man. I had no idea it was so bad.  Entire top of tank warped. Fuel pump ring melted. There’s a hole under where the strap goes. My second patch was more of a redirect I guess then anything. Just crazy.

    Added a new Jeep to the fleet. Just bought one of my sons a YJ. Looking to build it up for him, so he doesn’t steal my LJ. Currently my 16 year old daughter harasses him as the 37s on her JKU are quite bit bigger than his 30x9.5s.

    Still haven't done anything to push the Michelins, but my stars, the difference in ride is fairly unbelievable. A lot of Dallas roads are really shit and I find myself anticipatorily cringing over crummy pavement that's short of actual potholes, and the car with the Michelins just glides right over.  And on the Discount Tire website, the Contis that I declined in favor of the Michelins were actually rated better for ride quality and noise.

    This thing actually rides like a Cadillac now. 

    I have always had very good luck with Michelins in every aspect, ride, handling, longevity.

    I haven’t had high performance Michelins on any vehicle but I have had 4 door family car(touring?) Truck and snow Michelins.  All 3 have been the best tires I’ve had in those vehicles as far as quietness, compliance and longevity.

    dude is a fucking idiot, and the people in here who think he's cool or who want to chastise anyone who calls him an idiot are probably the same type of people to get kicked off their team for doing something remarkably stupid but "super cool". maybe you guys can all meet up with this idiot for a game watching party when Texas is in Omaha, and celebrate how badass all of you are. 🙄 

    I’ve generally disliked your comments but this one is spot on!   He’s an idiot and doesn’t need to be n the team any longer.  It will (should) make home a better man for it.  
     

    and Joe Rogan is complete moron.  I definitely don’t get medical advise, or any advise for that matter from him. Lol. Joe fucking moron Rogan
