That’s so weird about the ducks.Hobby Lobby had a bunch of little yellow rubber ducks in their “man cave area”,car signs,etc,those familiar with Hobby Lobby.They’re spreading all over the place here in NY.Anyway,I’ve owned a few Jeeps,XJs only though.After reading this,now I realize the whole “duck” thing.Wonder where or how that got started.Hmmm🤔And of course they took JP magazine off the news stand.Actually not sure,but I think the really “only” ALL Jeep magazine.🤨

About five six years ago I owned a perfect 2000 Jeep Cherokee,well it was perfect to me.It got wrecked bad.I loved the truck,was gonna give it to my kid.And then it gets wrecked.So I look at a bunch of others and wind up buying this POS mall rat Jeep,from a 4x4 shop,cause it reminded me of my 2000.My 2000 had low miles,no,”0” rust or big dents.Automatic,not like my old 4spd two door green one.Rare little Jeep.93,Two door,the color,like a Forrest Green side rear pop out windows.And a few other small factory options.Anyway,so shortly after my 2000 gets wiped out,I see this thing sitting up for sale,like I said at a shop.That was my first mistake.I built my 2000 from the 6 and 1/2 inch suspension,a snorkel,a visor,cut fenders,35s,12.5,on 15 x 8 inch wheels,and that was it.It could and did go anywhere,Rubicon Raush Creek,The Hamptons,my friends property in PA…The 2000 was just put back on the road after 3 years,cause my 09 CV police interceptor got wrecked by a fat ugly sh#% brown UPS truck.That was that.But I kinda hate this Cherokee,now that I put it back on the road.Yesterday I finally got to go a little off-roading up in the woods near my house.It poured Thursday so I knew it was gonna be nice and muddy.It was,and the truck was ok,not as good as my 2000,but not bad,Anyway,I bought a 2004 Landrover.So I may sell the Jeep,& throw the Landrover Discovery on the road.Its lifted,but not high enough.So I’ll go up.The first pic is the 2000,And the other is the 2001,obviously..Thats only on a four inch lift,but with 35s,but on 17 Hummeresque,if that’s a word,wheels.They are a pain to take off.Its got a winch,but I never use it..The 2000,and even my 93 two door rode on regular black steel wheels.I wish I had a picture of my 93.BTW,if you are looking to buy a Cherokee,buy one from 93-2001,(well that was the final year for the XJs.Most prior to the 93 model was supposed to be garbage, especially the diesel’s,which were kind of rare.Thats what I read,IDK.👐

What Bob,I thought you go there all the time,no?In some church in Patchougue.Its just N.of Sunrise,On N.Ocean Ave,on the left,in the back,with a long wide parking lot.Not as big as Bellmoore,I went there once this year.Almost got into a fight with the insane girl.🙄She wanted to try and hit me,no,especially not there.Anyway,PM your last name,so I don’t walk around all day at LIARS looking for you.Only if you want to…I know you said,kind’be where you’ll be set up.I gotta way too many kits to bring,gotta narrow my choices ,soon,They have a WIP area,right?Your a member,are you not?I think that’s a class,or in primer,idk.Better not oversleep.Now are u going to Bald Hill tomorrow?And if so,are you selling?I only know one guy named Bob into models,and you don’t him.Gonna be c😬Ld tomorrow under that stupid solar panel roof monstrosity of a roof.The wind up there gets trapped.During the summer,it’s great.

Thanks,yea I have to admit the chassis was prebuilt..The supplier has various chassis for different cars,including pro mods.I will have to say that they are some nice chassis(3D printed),I believe.At least that’s what they all look at...Ok but at the moment I can’t recall the supplier.I’ll look into it though ,and will get back to u…I promise.Actually this might be the supplier.

Finally got the old Cherokee off-roading in the woods by my house today.It had poured all day yesterday,so I knew it would be slick and muddy.Ah it was great.

What was the hardest or the coolest job u ever had or have?
NYLIBUD replied to NYLIBUD's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I was thinking,the weirdest job I think I ever had,was when I was 19 years old.I was “undercover “ store detective for an out of business supermarket chain.It was my ridiculous job to walk around the store posing as a young customer,that’s why I got the job ,I guess cause I was young.No one will think I’m security.I had to get fully trained on how to “blend in.I caught a lot of shoplifters,U just took their picture,and tell them not to return to the store.Meanwhile,you saw them back the next week.Supposedly if they stole over $500,we were supposed tell the manager,who then called the cops.But I would just throw them out of the store.I got the stuff back anyway.Only one time did I call the police.This guy tried stuffing like 20 cartons of kool cigarettes,when they were sold out in the open.🙄You had to see the customer actually steal the item.. I didn’t last long.Too much walking.🥱I applied for an overnight security guard,Idk.I do know I gained like 20 lbs eating the food off the shelves while walking around.🤫 -
“An always clean pick up truck,and SUV,well at least the older ones,should not exist”.I finally got some off-roading done this afternoon in the woods near my house..First time drive this year putting it on the road since last month,I know zzzzz😴No one was around to stress me out get me pissed off.It was bliss.🫠It was good going again.Ok another one.Try to do as many things in a day that you LIKE,enjoy doing,whatever.Than not.You’m also sleep better,I read.Obviously.

I’ve had a lot of different jobs.But I would have to say my hardest,was when I worked as an investigator for our local CPS (Child Protective Services)office…Yup,the pay 💵and benefits were great,but after 10.+years,seeing all kinds of fu%#@ up kids everyday was more than I could handle..However the people I worked with were great.We were all only supposed to really have no more than 15,or so cases,but because of all the paperwork,crazy deadlines,we each had over like forty,or so cases..With tons of back logs,people leaving the job,cause they hated it.A 😖 revolving doorLike I said,there were some good things about the job.We all worked as a team,helping one another with whatever.It taught me a lot…And probably the coolest,& easiest job I had,was when I was 16,and a life guard at a local country club.Got paid to sit around,working on my tan.😆

I hate ALL electric cars.And I know they’ve been making them since the later 1800’s-1900’s.There all garbage imo.Gas combustion engines,the only way to go.I laugh my ass off every time I see a bunch of Teslas sitting at a local charging station for what seems forever to charge their cars.They sound like UFOs,like when my moron of a neighbor pulls up into his drive way.Oh and they beep like a truck backing up ,beep,beep,beep.Stupid,there not big rigs or a school bus.But you gotta be able to hear it,whatever.🤮And I know some EV cars can have over a 1000 hp,I still don’t trust them,and again,will never like them.bla🤨😝Like electric?Stick a fork in the toaster.Lol.Sorry to all EV owners.Not for me.Nope.

Ace,u said it..And getting older each day,after day really sucks.Blaaaa😖I’m in my early fifty’s and I can’t feel my feet and legs half the time.😣Your health is the most important thing in life. -
This happening to anyone else.I go into a forum,such as this one.Then when I want to go into another forum,I can’t.At times on the bottom,it will say something like press for forum list…But most times it just says to mark as read.So I gotta close out the page,go back into the sites Google “Forum page”,and start over.Idk,it’s annoying,and it just recently started. Ok Thanks.
