  1. If thats a picture of your sister on the fireplace she's looks hot!

     

    I hear that everyday of my life from my friends... wow...

     

    Probably not allowed to wear boots in the house.. carpet.

     

    Boots are muddy from my last skirmish, so, I couldn't really wear them on the carpeting. The lighting in that room is the best in my house, so, I usually take pictures in there.

     

    Vega must have ultra-zoom eyes installed..

    You know there's already a lightsabre pictors thread yesh?

     

    I forgot about the Lightsabre Pictors thread... sorry... my bad.

  2. It was MY stuff. I am just trying to sell it to make some cash. my dad is not a antique deller Dang U are hard headed fool. Listen. Just tell me what you want proof of and Ill get it. But calling me a liar in public forums is just as dumb as haveing your head up your *albartroth*. It stinks and makes you look like a fool.

    why don't you go back and look at how the conversation went. It went like this:

    I had 4 bazookas, but one sold in my dad's shop.

    Well, they don't count if your dad is selling them in an Army Navy Surplus store or something where he sells De-act items,

    My dad doesn't have an Army Navy Surplus store, he sell sitems in a booth at an antique shop.

    It still doesn't count as yours in your own personel collection if your antique broker father is selling them.

    My father isn't an antique broker, your an *beep* for saying I'm lying, it's my stuff that he's selling so I can make some money.

     

    Now, you tell me... are you being ornary because I misinterpretted something you neglected to elaborate on in the first place, or am I being an *beep*? and reallly stop and think about it.

     

    Sorry about that. I just saw you gave me a rep point. I just get so angry sometime. I mean You prcticly have to shoot some one before they beleive ya. sorry mate * goes to see shrink*

     

    it's cool, we all get hot headed, but, seriously, your story was spotty. But, getting hot headed and fighting is the american way. I suggest you learn to edit posts instead of double posting, though, mods may get mad.

  3. no It is not an army navy store. It is a small booth in an antique store where he has been selling alot of ###### that just sits around and collects dust. so WOot to u mate

    that's not much differant than the scenario I illustrated, infact, it IS a scenario I illustrated, so, woot to you for being an ornary teen who tries to use his father's position as an antique broker to gain prestige on an Airsoft Forum in the UK. :flamed:

  4. Weal. Ok. Tell me what you want pics of and Ill get them how bout that. I mean all my stuff is legit and PERFECTLY LEGAL. I mean I have litterly waited MOnths for stuff sometimes. I mean it has been 9 months on the paper work from the BATFE for My SOCOM suppressor for my USP Tactical. I waited 19 months that is 19 months of hard long and inteanseive labor to build the Tank. Now I do stand corrected. The AT4 sold from my dads store yesterday. But I will sure as hell get you pics of the bazooka and laws.

    Are u mocking me?

    If your dad runs an army-navy surplus store or something where you sell de-act stuff from, it doesn't count as YOURS, since you don't have it in your own personel collections.

  5. you do know you can get jeeps stock with recovery points and under body armor, right? All the models of them. A stock Wrangler COULD indeed be used to pull a Ford F-150 out of a sticky situation. Wranglers and Cherokees can two boats, so, why couldn't they tow an F-150? 225lbs of torque is plenty to pull a car around and out of something if it's in nuetral.

     

    Conversely, a stock Ford Ranger with recovery points could pull a stuck Jeep out of a sticky situation. It's not a litteral thing, "Ford's always need recovering from Jeeps," it's just I've had alot of bad experiences with Fords and you drive a Ford, so we're of two differant thought patterns.

     

    Now... saying a Ford E-whatever Sport Track is the best stock offroading SUV on the market now is a very ludicris statement, I ignored that, but, the Liberty (Cherokee to anyone outside the US) is no better, even with a Desiel Engine, than the Sporttrac, thanks to it's IFS and weak drivetrain. It's a well built, tough SUV, but, it's nothing compared to the Jeeps, Dodges, Chevies, Fords and Willies of yesteryear.

    The XJ Cherokee was a very rugged, well built SUV, except for 1 thing, Uniframe construction.

    I can only think of a few SUVs/Trucks on the Market today that actually make good offroaders almost stock: Jeep Wrangler (especially the Rubi) almost all the Chevy Z71 trucks, the Hummer H1, Land Rover Defender 90, Toyota Tundra Offroad, etc. Cars like those.

     

    It's not a set thing, but, I know for a fact that Fords have a lot of problems and that Mopars, also, have a lot of problems, I just hate Ford Trucks.

  6. So you are basing all of your opinions on a vehicle manufacturing company with only experince from what you have heard, and the *suitcasey* vehicles your friends drive? *suitcasey* vehicles that sound *suitcasey* because it appears your friends don't know how to maintain them. I would also like to point out that any Ranger/Mazda B2200 from 2000 on have had all electrical problems(oh man, these things looked like a damn three year old did the wiring.) and transmission problems taken care of. The new Explorer Sport Tracs are possibly the best off-roders for the money ever since Ford redid the entire SUV back in '02. Also, commenting on the size of an F150 not being good for off roading, then saying you would like a Chevrolet 1500 contradicts itself. The trucks are almost the same size man. A few inches off on wheelbase and width, and thats about it. You also have to consider taht the '03 and up models of GMC/Chevy pickups are easily the least reliable they have ever been, whilst the new F150s are arguably the best trucks ever made. Thats my rant you 1337 @\/70 G\/Y you :P .

     

    PS: About the 15 YO mechanic. Under the table baby. :D  Also, the four speed problems you are encountering seem to be a materials flaw in the tranny production of the Jeep 4 speed in your Cherokee. The trannies just wear themselves out. They still work, but become "gimpy"(which is a really good way to pu it) in the lower gears. I believe it has to do with the RPMs the tranny shifts at. Could be the reason, but I'm not going to invest time into finding out. Besides, I have no vehicle to find out with. :D

     

    EDIT: I call my '91 Thunderbird the Thunderchicken too! LOL.

    I didn't say that I'd take a 1500 offroading, (actually, I did, my bad, it's about 3:00AM, I just meant I'd take it as a truck, over the ford) I just said I'd take it over a Ford. And I've worked on F-150's in the autoshop at school, an 88 and a 96, plus an 82 bronco, 99 Ranger, a few taurus that come through, a probe that had chronic alignment issues and an explorer that would just vomit oil whenever we started 'er. Just needed a new gasket, but, still, I've never seen so many of the same make go through a highschool auto shop.

     

    And my tranny's shifting at the 2300 mark, gets stuck between 1 and 2 and sort of jumbles into 2. I think it's the torque converter more than the actually gears in the transmission, but, it's still something that other people with the same tranny have noticed.

     

    Now, I know that new Mopars have their problems, but, Ford's reputation has been scarred since my Dad's T-bird and I've seen a lot more problematic Fords than Jeeps.

  7. Oh, I got more:

    This was 'sposed to be mine, my dad's old 84' Thunderchicken with that Ford 4-speed and 116 HP I4.... yuck! I hate the 80's

    thunderbird001.jpg

    but the elecs totally fried for no reason one day and never worked again, he sold the car for 200 dollars.

    elantra.jpg

    except for a spoiler and a stripe down the side, my 97' Hyundai Elantra GLS looked just like this. I totalled that when the front left steering assembly snapped when I took a turn at 45 mph... never did that again. It had a 117hp 1.8l I4, IIRC.

    99xj009.jpg

    lh.jpg

    the one in the back

    96' Eagle Vision ESi that I wired in an electronic tap shifter, redid the chipset, cold air intake, throttle spacer and K&N filters. Had the 3.3l V-6 but modded it up to an estimated 170-180 horses from about 164. It definately had alot of pep for a car of it's stature. That baby was sweet, until, about a year and a half ago, the steering started getting sluggish and it leaked steering fluid. Well, turns out, the rack's bolts had stripped, so, the whole assembly would move before the wheels would. I stopped driving it for about a month, got back into it and the transmission had gone limp, completely. I had a 2-speed Eagle Vision that wouldn't turn correctly. I got the Jeep after that, cuase I wanted a Jeep and I needed something to fit a Marshall Halfstack, Vox AC-30, Fender 1x15 and Kustom III bass head into. The Jeep fit the bill.

     

    As you can tell, I have a boner for Mopar junk, that Hyundai had quite a bit of left over Mopar stuff in it, actually. There's some conspiracy with Chrysler, Hyundai and Mitsubishi that's kind'a weird.

  8. Thomme: Do you honestly have a sticker on the back of your Jeep that says Ford recovery vehicle? I love ya man, but trust me. I'm a mechanic, and there is no way a Jeep is going to be rescuing any four wheel drive Fords. Nice Jeep though. Doesn't apper to be a scratch or dent on it.

    dude, Ford F-150s and Rangers are abysmal trucks (from what I've seen) gimme a nice, tough Chevy 1500 or Dodge Dakota to take on a trail. Although with the right parts swapped out, any truck'll be a tough little SOB. The Jeep may not have the 350 lbs of torque that a Ford F-150'll push, but, the F-150's way too large for comfortable offroading in my opinion. I used to have to jump my friend's Ranger at least once a week because the alternator was junk. He put two OEM alternators in, both of 'em left him with dead batteries, and when the second one got so bad that I was jumping him all the time, he swapped it out with a mazda one or something from the foreign companies and it worked like a charm.

     

    Only big problem I have with the Cherokees and Wranglers is the stock 4-speed auto. I'm been getting alot of gimpy shifts between 1 and 2 and I got a couple friends with Wranglers that are experiencing the same phenomon (sp?) I just wish I got the 5-speed stick instead of the crappy 4 speed. Other than that and the occasional not turning over, it's a really nice, well made truck. Much better than most Ford trucks or cars I've worked on, been in and seen.

     

    PS... aren't you 15? How are you a, "mechanic?" I'm going to school to be an automotive technician, just to let ya know, you're not the only 1337 @\/70 G\/Y

     

    PS: Explorers, Rangers, F-150s, T-birds, Taurus', Probes.

    all Fix Or Repair Daily cars

    of course that's not much better than Chrysler's track records with the LH, ZJ, minivans and neons, I admit. (I know, I had an LH, that thing ALWAYS needed something)

    Most reliable American cars are definately GM's.

    And now that Volvo has been bought by ford, I think the days of 300K mile Volvos are gone. But, being a mechanic and having a car that you like, even if it does take some TLC, is pretty fun. I love having to *fruitcage* with my throttle body at least once a month to get the Jeep started or clean my girlfriend's turbo filter in her Volvo (a 12 year old 940Turbo with no compression cuase her stepdad ran it on regular for 5 years!)

  9. heh sexy weapon there Thomme, got one myself, feel damn nice dont they :)

    in all honesty, I have a love/hate relationship with this gun. The stock is uncomfortable, it's very back heavy, it's too heavy for me to handle, the stock makes changing mags almost impossible without hurting your wrist and changing mags is almost imposible while under fire due to that little rail you have to line up. Other that that, it's an AMAZING gun. I guess my hands just aren't big enough to use the gun.
