- 1:56tonight is live phone calls.
- 1:59We're going to take live phone calls,
- 2:00much like what we did on New Year's Eve.
- 2:04I had a little impromptu show on New
- 2:07Year's Eve where I took
- 2:08live phone calls and it was
- 2:09a lot of fun.
- 2:10It was, I think, the show was like three
- 2:13and a half hours and,
- 2:14boy, the time went by really
- 2:15fast.
- 2:18So, I'll tell you about that real quick.
- 2:20If you call in, I only have the one line,
- 2:24the one land line and the Skype line.
- 2:27So if the land line is busy, you may find
- 2:31yourself over on the voicemail to leave a
- 2:37message and you can leave a message if
- 2:38you like and may play
- 2:40that on a future show or
- 2:43a future show.
- 2:44I mean, if you want to, you can try
- 2:46calling back in and getting on the air.
- 2:51So, first off, let me, before we get
- 2:56started on anything, let me
- 2:58tell you about our sponsor.

- 4:16we'd love to have you call
- 4:17in and leave a message.
- 4:19Probably we'll play that during the show,
- 4:21not this one, but a future show.
- 4:24And then get your answer on the air.
- 4:27Hopefully, it'll be a good answer.
- 4:28We try to provide those, don't we, guys?
- 4:30Let's see who we have in here tonight.
- 4:32I see Trap Dog is in there.
- 4:34Great, thank you for coming Trap Dog.
- 4:36Trap Dog is not a Jeep person.
- 4:38He's just a very good friend of mine and
- 4:42he writes songs and
- 4:45writes damn good ones.
- 4:47I see Tobii97, Big Jim 350, Dalton 4x4.
- 4:52Dalton's been here for
- 4:52about an hour already.
- 4:54Thank you very much, Dalton.
- 4:55You're a very welcomed addition to the
- 5:00show because I can always
- 5:01count on you being there.
- 5:03And if for some reason you can't be,
- 5:04don't feel bad about it, I understand.
- 5:07No cuss words on Jim.
- 5:09Is this a New Year's
- 5:11resolution you've turned over?
- 5:14Let's see, Cantab27, which
- 5:16is Wayne from New Zealand.
- 5:17Thank you for joining us, Wayne.
- 5:19I believe Wayne's probably going to be
- 5:21giving us a call tonight.
- 5:22And P-E-I-X-J is here.
- 5:26So let's see, I think I got everybody.
- 5:29Ah, Mugby, thank you for joining Mugby.
- 5:32And we have somebody by
- 5:33the name of the Big Dog.
- 5:35Welcome.
- 5:36I don't know that
- 5:37you've been here before.
- 5:38If you're the previous guest, thank you
- 5:40for signing up and
- 5:42getting in the chat room.
- 5:43And if this is your first
- 5:46show, even a better welcome.
- 5:48And was it, I never can pronounce some of
- 5:51these names on XJ Talk.
- 5:53Is it Ruggedon?
- 5:54Ruggedon?
- 5:55Ruggedon?
- 5:56Thank you for joining.
- 5:58That's as, I think that's as many times
- 5:59as, Rugged1, thank you.
- 6:01I was going to say that was as many times
- 6:02as I was going to try saying that.
- 6:04I guess we need to have some sort of
- 6:05phonetic spelling on the
- 6:07names because some of them
- 6:10I don't have a clue.
- 6:10I recognize them, but as far as
- 6:12pronouncing them, it's
- 6:13like reading a novel.
- 6:14I don't know why authors have to put in
- 6:16names that are so colorful and confusing.
- 6:20It disconfuses me.
- 6:22I hate novels.
- 6:23I like the story, but I hate trying to
- 6:24keep up with the characters in it.
- 6:27So like I mentioned earlier,
- 6:28we're going to do live calls.
- 6:30And before we get started
- 6:33with that, well, let me see.
- 6:35I can't really think of anything to do
- 6:37other than, oh, let me play this promo.
- 6:39I got to play a Big Jim 350 promo.
- 6:43This is Big Jim 350 and I
- 6:46f***ing love XJTalk.com.
- 6:49Jim's very excited about XJTalk.com.
- 6:52Oh, there's Reani.
- 6:53Thank you for joining, Reani.
- 6:54Okay.
- 6:55I'm sorry.
- 6:55I got to, I got to play it again.
- 6:57I got to play the other one, Jim.
- 6:59I like this other one better.
- 7:00I just wanted to say XJTalk is the best
- 7:03f***ing site in the f***ing world.
- 7:06And if you think you know a better
- 7:07f***ing site, f*** you.
- 7:09By the way, this is Big Jim 350.
- 7:13Bye.
- 7:16Oh, that's great.
- 7:17I love that.
- 7:18Now see, that is an excellent example of
- 7:22a great use of our
- 7:23voicemail line, which is
- 7:25on your screen, 530-675-4102.
- 7:30When the show's over, it'll
- 7:31be back to regular voicemail.
- 7:33Right now, it's set up for live calls.
- 7:35So after the show, call in and see if you
- 7:39can beat Big Jim's voicemail.
- 7:43And those were two damn good voicemails.
- 7:45Excellent promo.
- 7:46I like this one too.
- 7:48Hey, I just wanted to
- 7:48tell you about XJTalk.com.
- 7:50It's a great site.
- 7:52This is a, this is what I would consider
- 7:54a kinder, gentler promo.
- 7:56Hey, I just wanted to
- 7:57tell you about XJTalk.com.
- 7:59It's a great site.
- 8:00There's no bashing.
- 8:02Everybody's nice and friendly.
- 8:03Great place to be.
- 8:04This is Brian XJ, just calling in to tell
- 8:07you that I really like the website.
- 8:08Full of a lot of tech
- 8:10and a lot of good people.
- 8:11Always get a response back quickly.
- 8:12Thanks. Have a good day.
- 8:14Okay.
- 8:14Well, I think that we've covered pretty
- 8:19much everything I can think of.
- 8:21The show is XJTalk.com talk show.
- 8:25It's here as part of XJTalk.com.
- 8:29And we, on that site,
- 8:32the XJ is a Jeep Cherokee.
- 8:35The XJ is a two-letter designator that
- 8:37Jeep gave the Cherokee.
- 8:39And many of us have the XJs.
- 8:42Many of us have the XJs that are
- 8:44four-wheel drive, and
- 8:45we take them off-road.
- 8:46And we talk about that, amongst other
- 8:49things, on XJTalk.com.
- 8:51So whether you're a Jeep owner, any Jeep,
- 8:55or a four-wheel drive
- 8:56owner, any four-wheel drive,
- 8:59it doesn't matter.
- 9:00Everybody's welcome on XJTalk.com.
- 9:03You may not find as many things that
- 9:06interest you if you don't have a Jeep,
- 9:09but you're still welcome.
- 9:10We're certainly not going to run anybody
- 9:12off because you're not our
- 9:14idea of who you should be
- 9:18or who you are or what you drive.
- 9:21Everybody's welcome.
- 9:22Yes, Chevy's are welcome.
- 9:23I had a Chevy, Toby.
- 9:25I had a 1983 Chevy short-wheelbase
- 9:30four-wheel drive, and
- 9:31it was a lot of fun.
- 9:33My Jeep is 10 times better, the power,
- 9:37the ability to go anywhere,
- 9:38but that still was a fun truck.
- 9:42Yeah.
- 9:43Well, you had a love truck?
- 9:44I remember those.
- 9:45Yeah, they really were.
- 9:47They were crap.
- 9:48That Chevy, the transmission went out,
- 9:52but it was under factory warranty.
- 9:55They had to do their
- 9:55warranty, and they repaired it.
- 9:57They had it for 30 days repairing the
- 9:59damn thing, but still
- 10:00it was a beautiful truck,
- 10:02and most of the time it was fine.
- 10:04So mine wasn't 100.
- 10:06Mine was 10,000.
- 10:07That was the first new
- 10:10vehicle that I ever bought.
- 10:12It was a little over $10,000.
- 10:14Got it new, and was very happy with it.
- 10:19Had a lot of compliments on it, almost as
- 10:22many as I get on my Jeep.
- 10:23Okay, so you know, guys, it's time.
- 10:26I don't have anybody ringing my phone,
- 10:28but we're going to assume somebody will.
- 10:32Somebody's calling.
- 10:34Somebody entered the damn phone.
- 10:37It's an XJTalk live phone call.
- 10:39Okay, guys, like I said, we're doing live
- 10:41phone calls tonight, so ring a ding-ding.
- 10:44The number is on the screen.
- 10:46Hey, that kind of rhymes, doesn't it?
- 10:49Okay, let's see who we got.
- 10:51Press the button.
- 10:52Hey.
- 10:53Hey, how's it going?
- 10:54Pretty good.
- 10:55Who we got?
- 10:56It's Dalton 4x4.
- 10:57I thought so, Dalton.
- 10:58I kind of heard a bit
- 10:59of a twang in there.
- 11:00First off, there's
- 11:02one thing I can't check.
- 11:03I can't check how loud I am on the phone.
- 11:05I can just turn it down enough so I don't
- 11:06hear it coming back into the mixer.
- 11:08Are you able to hear me okay?
- 11:10Yeah, sound good.
- 11:11Good.
- 11:12What's up?
- 11:13Oh, nothing much.
- 11:15Just calling, just where I've seen
- 11:18everybody, seen that
- 11:18bumper that I designed,
- 11:20and Terrell helped me
- 11:21with the 3D imaging.
- 11:22Oh, that was great, wasn't it?
- 11:24Uh-huh.
- 11:26I also have a question.
- 11:28I see Renny and I and
- 11:30Jim and I was in there.
- 11:33I'm not wanting to go
- 11:34with the big time lift.
- 11:36I'm wanting to go with
- 11:37the junkyard build lift.
- 11:41Would newer coil springs, I've seen if
- 11:46you can get for 70-ish
- 11:47Ford F-150s or blazers,
- 11:49Broncos for the coil springs.
- 11:51And I've also read that even the newer
- 11:53F-150 coil springs will work.
- 11:55Are they better than the 70 model ones?
- 11:59So your, I'm sorry, it was the Ford F-150
- 12:03coil springs and you
- 12:04want to know what year?
- 12:06I've seen where we can put them in the
- 12:08XJs from the 70 models, the 70s models.
- 12:11And I've also seen here recently where
- 12:13you can put, if somebody had somewhere,
- 12:16that you could put
- 12:16newer ones in there as well.
- 12:20Yeah, I'm seeing in the chat room, stiff,
- 12:23that they ride really rough.
- 12:25I guess that's because they're for a much
- 12:27heavier vehicle than the Cherokee.
- 12:29What would be the
- 12:30better junkyard coils then?
- 12:33Guys, is there a junkyard coil that would
- 12:36be good for the, okay,
- 12:38Toby's saying a Grand Cherokee.
- 12:39What kind of lift do you get out of a
- 12:41Grand Cherokee spring?
- 12:42It didn't seem like it was
- 12:43three inches to me though.
- 12:44It seems like it was less than that.
- 12:45Because I'm wanting to
- 12:46go with four and a half.
- 12:48Yeah, Toby says an inch and a half to two
- 12:51inches on the Grand Cherokee springs.
- 12:53He says, and then the
- 12:54big dog says then a spacer.
- 12:56Well, that makes sense because you could
- 12:57put a two inch spacer on that.
- 12:59If you were getting two inches, two inch
- 13:01out of lift out of the coil,
- 13:02then put a spacer on there.
- 13:03That wouldn't be bad.
- 13:04A two inch spacer isn't bad.
- 13:06How do you feel about spacers?
- 13:08Well, this is my first XJ and
- 13:12doing the lift and all on it.
- 13:13So I'm still, like I say, I'm still a
- 13:15newbie to all of this.
- 13:17Well, when I was asking, because I have a
- 13:19four and a half inch lift on mine,
- 13:21and I was thinking about going to six and
- 13:23a half down the road
- 13:25after I got my slip yoke eliminator kit
- 13:30put in on the transfer case.
- 13:32And I had asked people, would it be
- 13:35better for me to get some six and a half
- 13:37inch rough country springs
- 13:38or spacer, to put a two inch spacer?
- 13:41And I was really surprised that I heard
- 13:44from pretty much everybody
- 13:45that the two inch spacer and the six and
- 13:49a half inch spring
- 13:50would make no difference.
- 13:51It would be virtually the same.
- 13:53I had pretty much decided I was going to
- 13:55go ahead and go with the
- 13:56six and a half inch RC spring,
- 13:58but I was curious if that was an
- 14:00alternative because, you know, the
- 14:01spacers are like 30 bucks.
- 14:03It's just, you know, some heavy plastic.
- 14:06So if you were, because I think today I
- 14:09was mentioning in chat,
- 14:10you were mentioning
- 14:11something about a $100 lift,
- 14:12and I thought that you could probably get
- 14:15at least a two or
- 14:16three inch lift for $100.
- 14:19I mean, you'd have to scrounge around,
- 14:20but I think, and you guys
- 14:22correct me if I'm wrong,
- 14:23three inches doesn't require a transfer
- 14:26case drop, in most cases anyway.
- 14:28It doesn't require a transfer case drop,
- 14:30and the geometry of the
- 14:35front end track bar, etc.,
- 14:38doesn't change enough to where you would
- 14:40have to worry about making any drops or
- 14:44adjustment to keep it in the line.
- 14:46Greeny says, "Nope,
- 14:47and yep, I'm confused."
- 14:50Maybe he's talking to somebody in the
- 14:51chat room. Yeah, he is.
- 14:53I think he's talking to me. He said he
- 14:56had three inch springs.
- 14:57Okay, Toby says, "I didn't drop anything.
- 14:59I put my three inch on."
- 15:03And no pinion shims or anything.
- 15:05Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, is you
- 15:07can get away with three inches without
- 15:08having to really do anything.
- 15:09Did you do anything with
- 15:10the brake cables, Toby?
- 15:12Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think
- 15:13you have to do brake cables either.
- 15:14He says, "No vibration whatsoever."
- 15:16What about the brake lines? Did you have
- 15:18to extend those? Stock cables.
- 15:20Yeah, but I mean, did you make some
- 15:23brackets or drop them,
- 15:24move them down at all?
- 15:26Because the Rough Country, the four and a
- 15:27half inch Rough Country
- 15:28lift, all it had was brackets
- 15:30that let you relocate
- 15:32where they attach to the body.
- 15:33He said he didn't relocate them either.
- 15:35Nope. Well, there you go. See, I think
- 15:38you could get, because what leaf springs
- 15:40are good for the XJ guys?
- 15:44Is it the Dakota?
- 15:45The Dakotas, STNs, and you can give me
- 15:47about four or four and a half.
- 15:49Okay, well, you already know then.
- 15:50So, I mean, I haven't been to a junkyard
- 15:53pricing those things, but I bet you if
- 15:54you scrounged around,
- 15:55you could get some leaf springs pretty
- 15:57cheap and then go with
- 15:59three inch spacers on the front.
- 16:03See, I bet you could do a hundred dollar
- 16:05lift. I bet you could really easy.
- 16:07Might take a little effort.
- 16:08Yeah, I've got a book now where stuff
- 16:10that I've printed off for what people
- 16:11said on site, different sites.
- 16:14It's probably two inches thick of all
- 16:16different kinds of XJ info.
- 16:17So, when I get finally
- 16:19ready to do the lift, I'm set.
- 16:21Yeah, well, like I said, I
- 16:23think you can do it really cheap.
- 16:24Actually, it might be interesting to put
- 16:27a thread up on xjtalk.com
- 16:29and just ask, "What's the cheapest lift
- 16:32you've ever done, and how
- 16:34successful were you in it?"
- 16:35I mean, because I guess anybody can come
- 16:37up with a cheap lift,
- 16:38but if you have to wind up replacing it
- 16:40in six months, then
- 16:41that might be a problem.
- 16:43Okay. Now, here's a good question for
- 16:45you, because I think
- 16:46you talked about this.
- 16:46Someone's to make spacers out of, and
- 16:49what was the best
- 16:49thing to make them from?
- 16:51What was it you had, the hockey pucks?
- 16:53I ordered a dozen, I think
- 16:56it was, a dozen hockey pucks.
- 16:58Actually, I got the hockey pucks, and I
- 17:00had to order them because
- 17:01I'm here in Texas, South Texas,
- 17:03and hockey pucks is something those damn
- 17:06Canadians do about a
- 17:07thousand miles north of us.
- 17:10So, I actually had to order them from
- 17:11Sports Authority, I think.
- 17:13I got them online for like $25 shipped.
- 17:16I was getting them for bump stops.
- 17:19I was going to glue them at the bottom of
- 17:21the coil so that, you know,
- 17:25whenever the upper bump stop came down,
- 17:27it would impact the
- 17:29top of the hockey puck.
- 17:30And I actually had two
- 17:31hockey pucks in there.
- 17:32After I'd gotten the hockey pucks, I
- 17:34found out about the Daystar bump stops
- 17:37that are about almost three times longer
- 17:40than the factory bump stops.
- 17:42So, I kind of got in that mode of getting
- 17:44it installed and not
- 17:46really looking at it.
- 17:47A lot of it had to do with fighting with
- 17:49that spring, trying to get
- 17:50the coil spring out of there
- 17:51without taking a lot of stuff off.
- 17:55I'll spend two hours trying to make
- 17:57something happen without actually,
- 18:01I just got a message here from Wayne.
- 18:03I'll spend two extra hours trying to make
- 18:06something work instead of
- 18:06just taking something apart
- 18:08that might take me an extra 30 minutes.
- 18:10But anyway, I finally got it in there,
- 18:11and then once I
- 18:12started collapsing things,
- 18:14I had about two inches of space between
- 18:16the bottom of that Daystar bump stop
- 18:19and the second hockey puck.
- 18:21So, I finally wound up just taking the
- 18:25hockey pucks out of there,
- 18:26which was simple because
- 18:26they were just glued in.
- 18:28And I think Rene
- 18:29actually got a couple of them.
- 18:33So, the hockey pucks were a great idea,
- 18:35but I just didn't need
- 18:36both of those things.
- 18:37But I would imagine that you could make
- 18:42the scene here what Wayne sent me.
- 18:45I would imagine you could do what you're
- 18:47needing to do, make a
- 18:48spacer out of the hockey puck.
- 18:50Well, come to think
- 18:51of it, it may not work.
- 18:53You'd have to drill a hell of a hole in
- 18:55that so the bump stop
- 18:56would fit through it.
- 18:57And it may not be wide enough.
- 19:00I think the bump stops, the spacers that
- 19:03you get are a lot wider.
- 19:04Plus, I think they have a
- 19:05groove for the top of the spring.
- 19:07Yeah, I've got a list where you can get
- 19:10them out of Camaros and stuff like that,
- 19:12the spacers out of them.
- 19:14Oh, that's
- 19:15interesting. I did not know that.
- 19:16So, you could actually
- 19:17have a junkyard bonanza.
- 19:20Oh, I've got like three different pages
- 19:24of everything from
- 19:25suspension to body armor.
- 19:27And sorry, what was this?
- 19:28You mentioned it a few minutes ago, but I
- 19:30didn't hear what it was.
- 19:31I've got like three pages of nothing but
- 19:34junkyard parts from
- 19:36suspension, steering, body armor,
- 19:43engine modifications, everything.
- 19:45Okay, I might show my ignorance, but have
- 19:47you posted any of that up on the site?
- 19:49Because that sounds like
- 19:49some great information.
- 19:51Matter of fact, I think it was on an
- 19:54earlier post from somebody
- 19:57when the site first came up.
- 19:58Gotcha. I may need to find that and make
- 20:01it a sticky or something.
- 20:02That sounds like some great information
- 20:04for people that want to
- 20:05do an XJ on the cheap,
- 20:08do an off-road
- 20:09modification for the XJ on the cheap.
- 20:12I think it was, I can't remember, I want
- 20:14to say it was an old,
- 20:16what was the guy's name?
- 20:17He's been banned since then.
- 20:19Baltimore.
- 20:21Yeah.
- 20:22Yeah.
- 20:23What was it?
- 20:23It may have been him.
- 20:24Guys, what was his
- 20:25name? I have forgotten.
- 20:27Big Bad XJ, that's what it was.
- 20:32Because he had a lot of info on there.
- 20:35He was very knowledgeable.
- 20:36I tried to give him as many chances as I
- 20:38could because he was so knowledgeable.
- 20:42I have one very strict rule on the site,
- 20:45and that's that we do not belittle or
- 20:48intimidate people on the site.
- 20:52And I gave him, he had
- 20:56done that a few times.
- 20:59And the final time, I just pretty much
- 21:01made up my mind that he
- 21:03was just too much trouble.
- 21:04And he needed to apologize very quickly,
- 21:07and he wanted to argue about it instead
- 21:10of just apologize to the
- 21:11person that he had insulted.
- 21:13And so he was banned,
- 21:15and he's been banned.
- 21:16Now, I've been on here for not even quite
- 21:19a year yet, and I've never seen the point
- 21:22to get out of line with anybody on the
- 21:24site everybody's easy to get along with.
- 21:26Oh, it's great.
- 21:27I think that if you have an atmosphere
- 21:29where everybody's nice and helpful to
- 21:32everybody else, people
- 21:34are smart. They get it.
- 21:35I think most people want to get along,
- 21:39but if somebody starts poking you with a
- 21:40long stick, you have a tendency to take
- 21:42it away from them and beat
- 21:44them over the head with it.
- 21:45Yeah, I'm pretty sure somebody new comes
- 21:47in there and they see our chat every now
- 21:49and then, they wonder what's going on.
- 21:52Yeah, well, we do give each other a hard
- 21:54time, but we are a bunch of men.
- 21:56We may have the mental outlook of a
- 21:59junior high student, but we're still men,
- 22:02and we have to mess with everybody.
- 22:06That's how I was in the war in the night.
- 22:09Okay. Yeah, I was just reading here in
- 22:11the chat room. The Golden
- 22:12Rule, man. That's right, Toby.
- 22:14All right. Well, you're welcome to hang
- 22:18here a little bit, or if you want to get
- 22:20off, that's fine too.
- 22:21I'll hang around. I'm
- 22:23usually here for the whole show.
- 22:24Cool. Well, let me see. I think Wayne
- 22:27said something about, let's
- 22:28see, what did you tell me, Wayne?
- 22:30Something about when I was ready. You can
- 22:32give me a call. I can take the call on
- 22:33Skype. I can take two calls at once.
- 22:37Actually, on Skype, I'm thinking I might
- 22:39be able to do a conference call. So, we
- 22:42might even try multiple
- 22:45Skype callers. Yeah, technology.
- 22:47And the cool thing, Toby, is it's free
- 22:51technology. There we go.
- 22:53It's always cool. Here's the camera. Free
- 22:55technology. Jim, this
- 22:59isn't that kind of chat room.
- 23:03Yeah, my computer shut down on me. I'm
- 23:04trying to get it back up.
- 23:07Jim says I want to get off, and I'm, you
- 23:09know, don't want to go there.
- 23:11There I am.
- 23:14Wow. Yeah, if you guys are wondering
- 23:17about the family-friendly thing on
- 23:19XJTalk, we are family-friendly.
- 23:22But the way I look at it is everybody
- 23:26should be 18 or more
- 23:27older that's driving.
- 23:29And I don't want people to feel like they
- 23:34are not able to show a pretty girl or
- 23:37talk about something that
- 23:38might be of an adult nature.
- 23:40And that's why we have the "Are you 18
- 23:43years or older?" little checkbox.
- 23:46It's not because we show nudie pictures
- 23:49or, you know, dogs rolling around the
- 23:52ground showing their privates.
- 23:54It's a family-friendly, yet adult,
- 23:57website. And I think
- 24:00everybody adheres to that really well.
- 24:04You know, there's some scantily clad
- 24:06women, but we have the "no nip" rule.
- 24:08Yeah, but still no nipples.
- 24:11Pretty girls, but they have no nipples.
- 24:13It's kind of a weird thing. They're all
- 24:16Russians from Chernobyl.
- 24:20No, not even behind a see-through shirt
- 24:22of actually, and what we do is if you
- 24:25post something like that up,
- 24:27one of us will edit out the offending nip
- 24:32it or nipple. Ah, I must have missed it.
- 24:35It's a shame we didn't
- 24:35have a moderator notice that.
- 24:38Excuse me. I got to
- 24:44laugh into what Jim said.
- 24:45Yeah. Okay, guys, we've got the Skype
- 24:49line opened. If somebody would like to
- 24:51give me a holler on Skype,
- 24:52it's the Skype, I don't know what you
- 24:54call it, the Skype name is xjtalk.com.
- 24:59That was a URL removed, big dog. Let me
- 25:02turn that on so you can
- 25:03post a link. There you go.
- 25:06Put that link in again, because if the
- 25:09links aren't allowed, it removes them any
- 25:11time somebody sends a link out in chat.
- 25:14There you go. The YouTube video.
- 25:17Actually, I think I can bring that into
- 25:19the show. Let's see.
- 25:21If I can remember, add
- 25:23YouTube, and I'll copy that link.
- 25:32Wayne said he's got no sound earthquake.
- 25:35They're having an earthquake?
- 25:36I think he's, because he ain't got any
- 25:38sound, he's probably got his
- 25:39speakers turned down again.
- 25:41That's what was wrong last time.
- 25:44Ah, okay. Hmm. Just trying to get this
- 25:48YouTube video in here.
- 25:49I played with this the
- 25:50other day, but not extensively.
- 25:52Yeah, I was saying, go ahead.
- 25:55How soon do you think you'll
- 25:56be doing your lift, Dalton?
- 25:59Well, there's a friend of mine who's
- 26:02supposed to be buying my 94 GMC that I
- 26:05have, hopefully by the end of this month.
- 26:08And after that, I'll be able to go to the
- 26:11junkyard to look for the parts.
- 26:13So hopefully, say around February, March,
- 26:16I should be able to get started on it.
- 26:17Oh, that's not very long away at all.
- 26:20No.
- 26:20Okay.
- 26:23And I still have my roof rack out here
- 26:27that I haven't finished yet, the plastic
- 26:29pallet that I was working on.
- 26:32I still have a few modifications to do to
- 26:35it before I put it up on top.
- 26:37Okay, hang on. Let's see if I
- 26:38can get the video up right now.
- 26:41I'm going to try this.
- 26:41We'll see how it looks.
- 26:44Um...
- 26:56Well, it shows who it's playing, but I
- 27:00don't see anything. Have you guys seen
- 27:01anything on that video?
- 27:03No, I don't.
- 27:04Well, you know, it shows that it's there,
- 27:08but it's not doing it.
- 27:09Okay.
- 27:19Renny said it worked for him.
- 27:21Yeah, I'm actually
- 27:22trying to play it on the show.
- 27:24And I have it up, and it
- 27:27may be that I just need to...
- 27:29Maybe using all the bandwidth up, trying
- 27:31to send this broadcast out, so, you know,
- 27:34maybe that's the problem.
- 27:36Anyway, it was worth a shot.
- 27:39Okey-dokey.
- 27:40Well, as you can see on the scrolling
- 27:45stream there at the top
- 27:46of the Ustream screen,
- 27:49there is the name for the Skype call.
- 27:53If you have Skype and you'd like to call
- 27:56in, it's xjtalk.com.
- 27:59I don't think you actually
- 28:00have to add me to your contacts.
- 28:03I think you can just call. I'm not that
- 28:05familiar with making calls on Skype.
- 28:08Just kind of get them.
- 28:10So, I'm just looking here
- 28:12at a message from James.
- 28:14You know, from Facebook he says, "I can
- 28:17view and listen to the
- 28:18show, but I can't type in chat.
- 28:21Darn calm Nazis."
- 28:22Yeah, James, that's
- 28:24actually a good point.
- 28:25You have to register with Ustream before
- 28:28you can chat in the chat room.
- 28:32And I probably should – I remember
- 28:35mentioning that on one
- 28:36of the earlier shows,
- 28:37and then, you know, it's second nature to
- 28:39me because I'm registered.
- 28:41I probably need to remind people of that
- 28:43so they can go over to
- 28:45Ustream and get registered.
- 28:46You can register now, and the show has
- 28:50still got another, you
- 28:51know, 30 minutes to go,
- 28:52so you can get registered and get in the
- 28:53chat room and yuck it up
- 28:55with the rest of the folks.
- 28:57So, everybody that – we do have a few
- 29:00guests if you – any of you that are
- 29:03listening on the podcast later,
- 29:07not the live show, but the podcast, you
- 29:09know, go over to
- 29:09Ustream and get registered
- 29:12so that you can be active in the chat.
- 29:15And also, too, you can – I can't
- 29:19remember if it's become
- 29:19a friend of XJTalk or –
- 29:22you can basically subscribe to XJTalk on
- 29:25Ustream, and you'll get notification from
- 29:28the event that I scheduled
- 29:30when there's going to be a show.
- 29:32And the show is every
- 29:34Wednesday night, 8 p.m. Central.
- 29:37And, you know, that can always change
- 29:38depending on my personal commitments,
- 29:43work, and so on and so forth.
- 29:44But it should be a pretty easy thing to
- 29:47– pretty easy schedule to keep.
- 29:50But if you need the notification, just go
- 29:53over there and subscribe to the events.
- 29:54And, of course, there's other ways that
- 29:56you can keep up with XJTalk.com.
- 29:59James knows this because he is a friend
- 30:03of XJTalk.com on
- 30:04Facebook, but you guys may not be.
- 30:08Here's the information to friend us on
- 30:11Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
- 30:14Did you know that
- 30:14XJTalk.com is on Facebook?
- 30:17Just go to Facebook.com
- 30:18slash XJTalk and friend us.
- 30:21We're also on Twitter,
- 30:23Twitter.com slash XJTalk.
- 30:25Okay. So you can keep up with us there.
- 30:28And there – we always have notification
- 30:32of events that are
- 30:33happening on Twitter and Facebook,
- 30:36and, of course, on the other website.
- 30:39So if you're not a member
- 30:40of XJTalk.com, please join.
- 30:43Well, Dalton, I'm not
- 30:44getting any calls on Skype.
- 30:46So I think what I'm going to do is go
- 30:48ahead and free up the landline and see if
- 30:51we get any calls there.
- 30:52I don't want to keep somebody from
- 30:53getting on that wants to be.
- 30:55I run the risk of letting you go and then
- 30:57having to talk to myself
- 30:58for the next 30 minutes.
- 31:00But I'm going to run that risk.
- 31:02Okay.
- 31:03And thank you, like I said earlier, thank
- 31:04you very much for
- 31:05coming to all the shows.
- 31:07Really, really enjoy it.
- 31:10No problem.
- 31:10I'll hang on one second. Let
- 31:12me get this call from Wayne.
- 31:14Okay.
- 31:15Hello, Wayne.
- 31:17Hey, man. How are you? Well?
- 31:19There he is. I'm going to do a little
- 31:22adjustment here on the volume.
- 31:24Yeah, can you hear me?
- 31:27Hello.
- 31:29Can you hear me, Wayne?
- 31:30Did you drop the phone, Wayne?
- 31:31Yeah.
- 31:32I'm there.
- 31:32Yeah.
- 31:33I just have a problem
- 31:34with this down the scene.
- 31:35So you're able to hear us now?
- 31:37Yeah, that's because of gold, man.
- 31:37My computer's playing up.
- 31:39Then I'm going to think,
- 31:39Wayne, he's been wheeling up.
- 31:41Okay.
- 31:42I turned you down a little bit.
- 31:44I see you got a picture
- 31:45on Skype of the Jeep now.
- 31:47It looks dirty. You need to wash it.
- 31:50It's clean now.
- 31:53I said, "Shut all the other windows down
- 31:55so I can talk on Skype
- 31:57so I can't see the show."
- 31:58I'm sorry. I didn't catch that.
- 32:00I just said, "Shut all the windows, other
- 32:01windows down on the
- 32:02computer so I can't see the show."
- 32:04Oh, right.
- 32:04That's why it took so long to dial up the
- 32:06computer's one of his own.
- 32:08Yeah, no problem.
- 32:10Hey, how's it going with the earthquakes?
- 32:12Have you been having any?
- 32:12Is it trailing off or coming
- 32:14back, or you just don't know?
- 32:16A couple each day.
- 32:18Just had one before.
- 32:23My wife, I'm sorry, one second.
- 32:26Hey, Dalton, I'm hearing a beep, and that
- 32:28beep is the battery on
- 32:29this cordless phone dying.
- 32:31My wife hands it to me, and she says,
- 32:33"It's fully charged."
- 32:35I was going to bring them both up here,
- 32:37but it's dying on me.
- 32:39I'm going to let you go.
- 32:40Okay, just real quick, I
- 32:42wanted to ask Wayne one question.
- 32:43Sure.
- 32:44How much mud do you
- 32:45still have in your XJ, Wayne?
- 32:49It's all clean now, mate.
- 32:50These quacks are getting rid of it.
- 32:54Getting shaken out.
- 32:57All righty then. I'll get on off here.
- 32:59Thanks a lot, Dalton.
- 33:01Thanks.
- 33:01All right.
- 33:03All right, bye-bye.
- 33:04Bye-bye.
- 33:08Yeah, I was telling my wife earlier that
- 33:11I've ordered my own
- 33:13cordless phone so I can make
- 33:14sure that I keep it charged.
- 33:17If you guys are trying to call me on the
- 33:20landline, don't, because
- 33:22the battery is almost dead
- 33:24on the handset, and I'll need to go get
- 33:28the other one here in a moment.
- 33:31The difficulties of live shows.
- 33:33So, Wayne, you were saying the
- 33:35earthquakes are coming and going, huh?
- 33:37Yeah, I've had over 4,200
- 33:40since September the 4th.
- 33:42And you guys are going for how many? Is
- 33:44it 5,000? Then you're going to stop?
- 33:46I don't know what the
- 33:47record was, actually.
- 33:50Stop saying that.
- 33:51Well, you know, I make jokes about that
- 33:54stuff, but I also want you
- 33:57to know that I just don't
- 33:58know what I would do, especially with the
- 34:01damage that are
- 34:02happening to the structures
- 34:04and, you know, your house.
- 34:06That's got to be something
- 34:08that weighs on your mind.
- 34:09I mean, every time you feel a shake, you
- 34:11don't know if it's going
- 34:13to be a minor tremor or
- 34:15if it's going to be another 7.1.
- 34:17I just watch where I
- 34:18park the Jeep now, mate.
- 34:19Thank you.
- 34:20What happens, really?
- 34:21Yeah, I guess you have to start having
- 34:23that attitude at some
- 34:24point, because it very well,
- 34:26it shows very well that you have no
- 34:28control over what's going on.
- 34:30Just judging how powerful the old Mother
- 34:31Nature is when it's angry.
- 34:34It's really interesting.
- 34:35It can suck, but it's
- 34:38also often very interesting.
- 34:41I guess around here, the thing that
- 34:43always impresses me is the weather.
- 34:45You know, we can have hurricanes or some
- 34:48real bad storm systems.
- 34:51Technically, I'm sure we
- 34:52could have an earthquake as well.
- 34:54I've just never had one in the long time
- 34:57that I've lived here.
- 34:58So we're just not an
- 34:59earthquake-prone area.
- 35:01Well, you've got a few spea.
- 35:01You can have the attorney if you want.
- 35:04I'm sure.
- 35:06I'll email them to you, mate.
- 35:08I'd like to have some snow from up north.
- 35:11I'm not sure they have the
- 35:12snow than the earthquakes.
- 35:14Yeah, some of those snow
- 35:15pucks look pretty good.
- 35:15What get posted up, eh?
- 35:16Oh, the snow is just beautiful.
- 35:18I think it would be a lot of fun to, you
- 35:21know, put it in four-wheel drive
- 35:22and go through some snow.
- 35:24Of course, I've seen some pictures of
- 35:26them getting that snow
- 35:26pretty muddy, pretty dirty.
- 35:29Yeah, I can imagine Jim and the snow
- 35:31would be all yellow spots everywhere.
- 35:32That's right.
- 35:33And every time he breathed on the snow,
- 35:36it would melt, you know, a
- 35:37good 50-foot swath of it.
- 35:39He could ride on the
- 35:41hood of the Jeep and just...
- 35:44Just as well.
- 35:44I can't read the comments, I would say.
- 35:48If you don't mind, Wayne, if
- 35:49you're not in too big a hurry,
- 35:50I'm going to throw some music up, run
- 35:54downstairs, and get the other phone so I
- 35:56can take some calls.
- 35:59Yeah, you got a scold, mate.
- 36:00Take me all of about,
- 36:02you know, two minutes.
- 36:03I just let everyone know I'm
- 36:04on vacation, so that's all good.
- 36:05Excellent.
- 36:06Okay, so I'm going to throw
- 36:08up some music if you'd like.
- 36:10You know, chat with the
- 36:10guys here in the chat room.
- 36:12You can talk to them.
- 36:13I'll turn the music down.
- 36:14They can hear you and...
- 36:16I can't see the chat, so I'll just wait
- 36:18for you to come back.
- 36:18Ah, okay.
- 36:19That's... Yeah, I forgot about that.
- 36:20You had to close the windows.
- 36:21Okay, I'll be right back, guys.
- 36:44It'll lock size once.
- 38:16Okay, so, Wayne got the other one, we'll
- 38:19see how long it lasts.
- 38:22You may need to buy some
- 38:24new batteries for them.
- 38:27Because in her defense,
- 38:28it did show a full charge.
- 38:30So, I don't know. So, are
- 38:32you still with us, Wayne?
- 38:34Yeah, I'm still with you, Mike.
- 38:35Right. Hey, Rene, if you wanted to give
- 38:38me a call on the
- 38:40number there on the screen,
- 38:42I can get you and Wayne
- 38:44here on at the same time.
- 38:47I've got to talk to this smart-ass.
- 38:57I'm not cool anyway. I think they're
- 38:59having their own
- 38:59conversation there in the chat room.
- 39:03Yeah, I'm trying to get it back up so I
- 39:04can see it. So, I might drop off too.
- 39:11Ah, Detours, Mark has joined us.

- 40:28All right, well, I didn't mean to play
- 40:30all those, but what the hell?
- 40:32I've got to get them in sometime.
- 40:36So, I think we talked about this on,
- 40:41well, I can't remember when
- 40:42the last time we talked, Wayne,
- 40:43but I think we talked
- 40:43about this last time.
- 40:45How do you like that winch?
- 40:46Yeah, it's great.
- 40:48It's probably one of the better things
- 40:50I've put on the Jeep, the self-recovery
- 40:52with the fishing and
- 40:53whatnot, when I'm out by myself.
- 40:55I bet you it gives you a better feeling
- 40:58when you go out that you're going to be
- 41:00able to get yourself
- 41:01out of a predicament.
- 41:02You won't have to walk
- 41:03back to get some help.
- 41:06The only thing I've got to do is pull it
- 41:07all apart, take it out of the bar and get
- 41:10some bolts welded
- 41:12onto the front of my bar
- 41:13so I can bolt the aluminium fairleaders
- 41:16or whatever they're called on there
- 41:17because I've got the rope.
- 41:19The rope cuts on the
- 41:20bar if I don't do it.
- 41:23Well, we've got a caller on the landline.
- 41:25Let's see who it is.
- 41:26Thanks for calling. Who we got?
- 41:28It's me. It's Reaney.
- 41:30Oh, Arganard XJtalk.
- 41:32Arganard from
- 41:33XJtalk.com, better known as Reaney.
- 41:35R-E-N-E. I called him Renee for the first
- 41:3730 minutes, I guess.
- 41:39Oh, actually, I think
- 41:40it was the first day.
- 41:42I was being kind to myself, I guess.
- 41:44Well, Reaney, I don't
- 41:45know if you know Wayne.
- 41:46Wayne, this is Reaney. Reaney, Wayne.
- 41:50Yeah, I only know him a little bit.
- 41:52Well, I'm sorry.
- 41:53Is there Wayne?
- 41:54I'm sorry, he did say
- 41:54s***, so I guess he does now.
- 41:57I can't hear him. I can't hear him.
- 41:59There he is.
- 42:00Yeah, he wasn't talking. That's why.
- 42:02Hey there, big fella.
- 42:05How you doing, buddy?
- 42:06Yeah, I'm good, man. I'm good.
- 42:09So, you been wheeling, Reaney?
- 42:12Sorry, how was that, mate?
- 42:14You been wheeling, Reaney?
- 42:16I went in for a quick
- 42:17one the other night.
- 42:20Yeah, like I said, it took me
- 42:21three hours to watch the thing.
- 42:23The noise away, the windows open.
- 42:26The video's up, but when I put up last
- 42:28time we went wheeling,
- 42:29two Jeeps almost flipped.
- 42:31I saw that.
- 42:32Yeah, I seen that, mate.
- 42:33I saw that yours didn't.
- 42:35Oh, no, mine's too damn low.
- 42:37Mine dropped off that same ledge and my
- 42:39rock wheel hit the ground, so
- 42:40I couldn't even go anywhere.
- 42:43Well, I guess that was good.
- 42:45Just got a counterbalance on
- 42:46it, though, Reaney, isn't it?
- 42:49No, I was on the right side over here.
- 42:52You all are on the
- 42:53wrong side of the road.
- 42:57Let's have a look at it, you mate.
- 42:59It's just saying that Andy
- 43:00can't get on the show, Tony.
- 43:02On the check.
- 43:05Well, it's really...
- 43:07I think it's a...
- 43:08I mean, this is on the actual forum.
- 43:09I'm on that chat.
- 43:10I can't get on the other chat, but he
- 43:11says he don't show kick me off.
- 43:14Yeah.
- 43:14Oh, yours.
- 43:16Go ahead.
- 43:19Oh, yeah, I see that.
- 43:22He can't get on the other chat, okay.
- 43:25Yeah, that can happen.
- 43:27I mean, I don't know.
- 43:28You had made...
- 43:28We had talked before
- 43:29that your bandwidth isn't...
- 43:31It kind of comes and goes.
- 43:33It could be a little much to do Skype and
- 43:35to get in the chat room at the same time.
- 43:39No, Andy can't get on.
- 43:41Yeah, that's... Yeah, Andy.
- 43:42On, man, Andy.
- 43:44Oh, really?
- 43:45Yeah, Dan's show kicked me off.
- 43:47He just typed in the chat on X-Shack.
- 43:51Ah, okay.
- 43:52I wonder why.
- 43:53I wonder what kind of language he was
- 43:55using in the chat or something.
- 43:58Well, it didn't bleep out my F-word,
- 44:01which I was really surprised on.
- 44:04You know, I might need to get some
- 44:06moderators so they
- 44:07can ban people like you.
- 44:08He said, "I know."
- 44:12Oh, there you guys. Jim.
- 44:14Jim, my moderator.
- 44:16Jim would be an excellent moderator.
- 44:18He would be able to know when the word
- 44:19was about to be spoken
- 44:21before it was actually...
- 44:22Before it was spoken.
- 44:25You can be the language moderator.
- 44:27Can you say moderator?
- 44:29It's like hackers.
- 44:30You know, the best
- 44:30anti-hackers are the best hackers.
- 44:33Yeah, it is.
- 44:35Same type of deal there.
- 44:38Let's see.
- 44:39I just wanted to say XJTalk is the best
- 44:43f-ing site in the f-ing world.
- 44:45And if you think you know a
- 44:46better f-ing site, f-ing you.
- 44:48By the way, this is big to him, 350.
- 44:52Bye.
- 44:54The Legion is born.
- 44:56That was great.
- 44:58You know what's too funny about that?
- 45:02If you look at a picture of Bear, if you
- 45:04go to his Facebook, and he's
- 45:05a friend of yours on Facebook,
- 45:08him and Jim look like they
- 45:09could almost be brothers.
- 45:12That sounds like it would be some good
- 45:14matching bookends to
- 45:15take off-road with you,
- 45:16especially if you're going back in
- 45:18the...in somewhere in the deep south.
- 45:20I mean, I guess we're as deep south as
- 45:21you get, but I mean, you know,
- 45:22more where there's more trees.
- 45:26More trees, and Banjo's playing.
- 45:28Yeah, one thing's for sure.
- 45:29If you're in a ball with them, too, I
- 45:31don't think you have to worry about
- 45:32nobody deciding that
- 45:33they want to fight you.
- 45:34No.
- 45:35Shouldn't be.
- 45:36Of course, you know,
- 45:37alcohol will make people brave.
- 45:42Tony, how far behind are we...I'm
- 45:46noticing on the chat,
- 45:47when we say something,
- 45:48it takes a little bit
- 45:49for it to come back up.
- 45:51How far behind are we, or
- 45:53how forward are we of the show?
- 45:55It's really hard to say, because there's
- 45:58going to be a delay from what I'm sending
- 46:01out going to Ustream,
- 46:02and then Ustream's going to
- 46:04have a delay going to you,
- 46:05and it's going to vary depending on what
- 46:07each one of the connect speeds are.
- 46:09In other words, how much bandwidth is
- 46:11available for each of the viewers.
- 46:13So it could be a couple of seconds
- 46:16to...you know, like you were experiencing
- 46:18on the phone that one time,
- 46:19you were...what was it, a 10 or 11 second
- 46:21lag time between what you were hearing
- 46:24from me and what you were
- 46:25hearing on your computer.
- 46:27Yeah, that was on Valero, or Baro, what
- 46:30did it have here just called, right?
- 46:31Ventrilo, yeah.
- 46:33Yeah, Ventrilo.
- 46:34But you were also listening to your
- 46:35computer, I think, at the time,
- 46:36and there was a long delay between what
- 46:39you were hearing on the phone
- 46:40and what you were hearing coming from
- 46:41your computer, the show, in other words.
- 46:43Right.
- 46:45And I have my volume all the way down.
- 46:47Future.
- 46:48Yeah, we're talking...that's right,
- 46:50Wayne, we're talking in the far future.
- 46:53I still want some lottery numbers, Wayne.
- 46:55It's not saying...it's not...
- 46:56Yeah, why didn't you call us with the
- 46:58lottery numbers from last night?
- 46:59We could have spent $350 million, dude.
- 47:02Man, I would have been happy to buy you a
- 47:04new steering wheel for
- 47:05your Jeep or something.
- 47:08Number five in the first leg, boys.
- 47:11We could have flown you over here.
- 47:13And your Jeep.
- 47:14Hell, we could have
- 47:15just got you a new one.
- 47:19Just the steering wheel.
- 47:21Right, we're going to get you out of that
- 47:22damn earthquake infested place
- 47:24that you're living right now.
- 47:26I like it.
- 47:27It's a beautiful place, but man, it just
- 47:29needs to quit shaking.
- 47:31I see me cousins are on ground, too,
- 47:32because I think it's underwater.
- 47:34Yeah, and they need to
- 47:35put up another red light.
- 47:38What part of Australia is that, that
- 47:40they're having all the rain?
- 47:42Queensland.
- 47:43Yeah, Queensland.
- 47:44Rockhampton, and it's heading into New
- 47:47South Wales as well from the last I read.
- 47:50It's quite bad.
- 47:52And that's from a storm system?
- 47:55Yeah, they're not...they know the
- 47:57crocodiles are like
- 47:58swimming with an army to be
- 47:59and all these poison
- 48:00snakes are running around.
- 48:02They've got everything over there.
- 48:04Well, you ain't got no
- 48:05poison snakes over there, do you?
- 48:07No, we've got nothing.
- 48:09That's interesting. I didn't know that.
- 48:10Nothing. Nothing.
- 48:13Yeah, there's nothing in New Zealand that
- 48:14can hurt you, correct?
- 48:16Or hurt a human.
- 48:17There's nothing poisonous.
- 48:18There's nothing to eat you.
- 48:19Not like here, right?
- 48:22The only thing we've
- 48:22got is wild pigs, mate.
- 48:24At least you annoy them when they're
- 48:26around their youngins.
- 48:28You'll be sweet as...
- 48:32My Mrs. is pretty poisonous. She's scary.
- 48:35Oh my God.
- 48:37The what-or?
- 48:38His wife.
- 48:40Oh.
- 48:41He is playing with fire there. He could
- 48:45wake up dead some morning.
- 48:48She's a wimp.
- 48:51You can't read what Jim
- 48:52just wrote, can you, Wayne?
- 48:54Even the animals don't
- 48:55want to be in New Zealand.
- 48:57Oh, Mark would like for
- 48:58you to say "vigimite."
- 49:00Vigimite.
- 49:01Vigimite. Vigimite.
- 49:03We also got marmite as well.
- 49:06Is that confusion?
- 49:07You also have what?
- 49:09Marmite.
- 49:11Marmite.
- 49:13Vigimite, but with an M.
- 49:16Yeah, vegimite's Australia
- 49:18and marmite's New Zealand.
- 49:19I think one's vegis
- 49:20or one's might be meat.
- 49:22Exactly the same way
- 49:23young fellas tell them.
- 49:26Is that stuff like a peanut
- 49:27butter? What is that stuff?
- 49:31It's different.
- 49:34That's technical.
- 49:34It's actually good on toast, but it's
- 49:38good for a stock if
- 49:39you're making stew and stuff.
- 49:42Oh, really? Did you read
- 49:43what Toby just put on there?
- 49:45I can't read it.
- 49:48He said, what did he say? Where'd it go?
- 49:51He said something about it
- 49:52tastes like crap. Doo-doo.
- 49:54I don't know, it never tasted crap.
- 50:00Both gross. Doo-doo. Good?
- 50:02Well, body work.
- 50:04He drinks some body work.
- 50:06Yeah, I can
- 50:06understand. I can believe that.
- 50:09There is a member on
- 50:10here who does like it.
- 50:12Sorry, Wayne, say that again.
- 50:14There is a member on here who does like
- 50:15it. I posted a picture
- 50:16of it on top of me jeep.
- 50:18I thought it was a brilliant backhand of
- 50:19vegimite, marmite, vegimite.
- 50:22With a Jeep emblem.
- 50:26Toby says they have
- 50:27crabs. What has crabs?
- 50:31What's that?
- 50:34I don't know. Toby says
- 50:35they have crabs in chat.
- 50:36Marmite, marmite. Both gross. It's
- 50:40different, much better for you.
- 50:42Doo-doo. Great for body work.
- 50:45Read it all.
- 50:46Read it all, Tony. Contact, Aiden.
- 50:49It's easier for me to say what the hell
- 50:51you talking about.
- 50:52Make you type it again.
- 50:54Wayne has crabs. Do
- 50:56you have crabs, Wayne?
- 50:57Big Jim says you have crabs. I didn't
- 50:59know you guys were that close.
- 51:03Hey, you missed one part. Wayne, you need
- 51:08some pastacani sauce.
- 51:10You know what that is
- 51:10over there, do you, Wayne?
- 51:14Pastacani sauce.
- 51:16No idea, mate.
- 51:17It's hot sauce. It's
- 51:20peppers and tomatoes.
- 51:21Like tomato sauce?
- 51:23Similar, except it's more tomato-y.
- 51:25No, just no, no vinegar.
- 51:30Tabasco sauce is good.
- 51:33Yeah, Tabasco sauce.
- 51:35Tabasco sauce has a
- 51:36lot of vinegar in it, so.
- 51:38But there are several hot sauces that
- 51:40have that. They're very vinegary.
- 51:44So what are you watching over there?
- 51:45There's vodka.
- 51:47I hear the TV. What are you watching?
- 51:49It's not me.
- 51:50Oh, it must be Rainey.
- 51:52Oh, my son's flipping around channel.
- 51:55Yeah.
- 51:57Cops.
- 51:59Toby says cops.
- 52:01It ain't fine. Marmite can be used as a
- 52:04wrapper on your joint.
- 52:07Man, I don't know about this. This is
- 52:09going, this is going a bad direction.
- 52:11Yeah.
- 52:13It's a big Jim direction.
- 52:16Okay.
- 52:17This is Big Jim 350, and I
- 52:20have a whole of XJ Talk.com.
- 52:22[Laughter]
- 52:31Everybody's talking about
- 52:32what they're watching tonight.
- 52:36Oh, Bear puts on there. All right, y'all,
- 52:38quick pick it on my little brother.
- 52:40Hey, Steve.
- 52:41No, I guess Jim is younger, so.
- 52:45Yeah, one of them are very old.
- 52:47Poppies, get the poppies.
- 52:48How old are you, doggers?
- 52:5237.
- 52:54Yeah.
- 52:55Like 37.9 because he'll be 38 next week.
- 52:58[inaudible]
- 52:59Yeah, my birthday's at
- 53:02the end of the month, so.
- 53:04You, you use, Wayne, you guys use the
- 53:06metric system over there, right?
- 53:08Yes.
- 53:09How old would Jim, I mean, how old is
- 53:11Dalton going to be in metric?
- 53:14157.
- 53:16[Laughter]
- 53:17He just sounds really old, eh?
- 53:20It's not the age, it's the mileage.
- 53:23It's the redneck lifestyle, the roadkill.
- 53:26Please tell me all this.
- 53:27Yeah, you have to pick your
- 53:28roadkill ride around here.
- 53:31That's tough stuff,
- 53:32mate. You got to leave it.
- 53:33We have armadillas, and they have a hard
- 53:35shell, so it's actually
- 53:36roadkill on the half shell.
- 53:39[Laughter]
- 53:40You just heat that up and have a soup.
- 53:44You know, actually, the armadillas are
- 53:45kind of interesting.
- 53:46It's the only other animal that can catch
- 53:50leprosy, humans and armadillas.
- 53:54Wow.
- 53:54Yeah, I did not know that.
- 53:56Well, actually, I knew it now, but
- 53:57earlier I did not know that.
- 54:00Well, it's like around here. I've been
- 54:02seeing a lot of deer run over lately.
- 54:04I mean, every day on my way to work, I
- 54:06probably see two or
- 54:07three new kills of deer.
- 54:11Make a car pretty good,
- 54:12wouldn't they? Hit one of those?
- 54:13Detours would like to know, how hard is
- 54:15it to manage XJTalk?
- 54:17What do you mean, detours?
- 54:22I don't know what Toby just put.
- 54:23Armadillo equals Paulson with armor.
- 54:25That's true. But the detour is what gives
- 54:28you the slightest idea
- 54:30that it's managed at all.
- 54:32[Laughter]
- 54:36Gems in charge.
- 54:38Music ]
- 54:42The sight time.
- 54:44Not very hard. It's pretty easy. I don't
- 54:48have a lot of problem with people posting
- 54:52spam or picking on other people.
- 54:56Rene is a moderator. Rene, how much
- 54:57moderating do you do?
- 55:00Well, you know, it's funny, the very
- 55:01first day I became a mod, remember? I had
- 55:03that one, I had a, pull somebody's post.
- 55:05You had a spammer,
- 55:06that's right. You really did.
- 55:08No, not the spammer. Remember I had, I
- 55:12was in a real bad joke, I
- 55:14don't remember what it was.
- 55:15But it was something I
- 55:16had to pull their post.
- 55:18I bet you it was Punisher's.
- 55:21I bet it was too.
- 55:22Because Punisher goes over the edge
- 55:24occasionally. Not
- 55:25real far, but just over.
- 55:28Yeah, I think I can tell you.
- 55:29He's real good natured about it though.
- 55:31But there was one, somebody that was
- 55:33posting something about selling phones.
- 55:36Selling stones?
- 55:39Selling phones.
- 55:40Yeah, iPhones and stones.
- 55:42I thought that was the
- 55:43one we were talking about.
- 55:44No, that was way later.
- 55:50Detour says the questions
- 55:51will get harder as we go.
- 55:53We need to get Jim on here to answer him
- 55:55then, because he'll make quick, he'll
- 55:57make short work of the hard answers.
- 56:00I wish I could beat myself. I would say,
- 56:02because he would say I
- 56:03wouldn't beeping, no.
- 56:04I don't beeping, no what the answer is.
- 56:07I need to get me the
- 56:08really big glass of tea.
- 56:10Where's the camera?
- 56:11Wayne can't see my glass.
- 56:13I have a nice big beer
- 56:14mug, but I don't drink beer.
- 56:16I used to drink Coke.
- 56:18Can Jim say it?
- 56:19Jim, can you see my mug?
- 56:22There you go. Like a $2 mug. It holds
- 56:26probably a quart of liquid.
- 56:30Toby says, no, it's
- 56:32kind of a move originally.
- 56:33Oh my God, I think there's
- 56:3550,000 posts on XJTalk now.
- 56:38And we're coming up on the two year mark.
- 56:40In March, it'll be two years.
- 56:42And it is a very difficult task to try to
- 56:45find anything that happened
- 56:48any time ago, any time back.
- 56:50It's really hard, even
- 56:51with the search thing.
- 57:00Well, that's nice.
- 57:01See, that's that piece
- 57:02of equipment I have here.
- 57:03Everybody stopped
- 57:04talking and it got quiet.
- 57:06Everybody at home thought that their
- 57:08internet went down or their computer
- 57:10froze, but that's the danger of quiet.
- 57:13Oh, my boys just loaded a video of the
- 57:15tapes on YouTube on the TV.
- 57:18Over your ways, I'm just
- 57:19trying to figure out what it is.
- 57:24We're in a good time.
- 57:27For us?
- 57:29When's your next competition going on?
- 57:31There's something coming up there in the
- 57:32next month. It's Teams one.
- 57:34We're trying to get three Jeeps together.
- 57:36It will last long enough.
- 57:38You were talking while he was talking.
- 57:42So you got one next month going, you're
- 57:43going to have three Jeeps going, you're
- 57:44going to put yours in?
- 57:46Yeah, if it's still going. We're still
- 57:47waiting for that red one to be finished.
- 57:49That's going to be the main one.
- 57:50What do you mean if it's still going?
- 57:52Were you having problems with it?
- 57:54It's a Jeep.
- 57:55Well, you're talking about putting Toyota
- 57:57Axles under yours, aren't you?
- 57:59No, that's what's happening to that red
- 58:00one. I've got to go
- 58:01and get updates on it.
- 58:02There's some stuff. They're waiting stuff
- 58:03from the states to
- 58:04arrive. There's pretty missing.
- 58:05Safari diffs under
- 58:07it. Toyota trans in it.
- 58:11And running 37 has been beefing up their
- 58:13bodywork and whatnot.
- 58:15You're talking about the red one that's
- 58:16the 98, right? The
- 58:18one that looks the same.
- 58:19No, he sold that.
- 58:21He sold it?
- 58:22He couldn't sell it, so he took the lift
- 58:24out of it and sold it for six grand.
- 58:27He's got the lift for sale for $1,300.
- 58:30He was wanting to make that Jeep look
- 58:32just like mine and he sold
- 58:34it. I can't believe he sold it.
- 58:36He had a chance to start his own
- 58:37business, Tony. Are we tracking business?
- 58:39So, you had to do it. You
- 58:41know, free up some money?
- 58:43No, no, of course. It's just, you know,
- 58:44from all as excited as he was about that
- 58:46Jeep, that must have
- 58:48been a hard sell for him.
- 58:49Oh, it was. It was pretty sad, but hey, I
- 58:51got a good winch out of it.
- 58:53Because he got off that deal, but he was
- 58:55selling his Jeep, so I
- 58:57was next in line. So, hey.
- 58:59I didn't know that.
- 58:59I got a question for you, Wayne. On your
- 59:01winch, have you used a little remote
- 59:04control for yours yet?
- 59:06That's all I use. I haven't used the plug
- 59:08in one year, mate. It works good as gold.
- 59:11Do you have any weird
- 59:12issues with it or is it normal?
- 59:14No, it's good as gold, mate. I've only
- 59:16used it twice those, Renny.
- 59:18But it's because it's battery operated, I
- 59:22use that, just sat in the cab, just
- 59:24making the wheels work, but not spinning
- 59:26and digging, so it's not fighting.
- 59:27When I start.
- 59:30Hey, what winch do you have? Detours just
- 59:33ask what winch you got.
- 59:34She's at work. Oh, winch. Sorry, mate.
- 59:38It's pre-max Chinese. It's probably the
- 59:42same as a lot of the ones in there, out
- 59:43there, but it's 12,000
- 59:45pound pre-max, pre-max, I think.
- 59:50It's up on the site, Mark. He posted it
- 59:54when he got the winch, and there's a
- 59:57section, I think the post is where he's
- 1:00:00getting it mounted in the
- 1:00:01winch. I mean, in the bottom.
- 1:00:03It is, yeah, and I did put the name on it
- 1:00:06because I had to actually Google it
- 1:00:08myself because there's
- 1:00:09actually no name on it.
- 1:00:10Oh, okay. Which is always a good sign.
- 1:00:12Yeah. But as long as it works.
- 1:00:14Well, because the Chinese ones, so many
- 1:00:16of them, it's like when they first come
- 1:00:18out, people didn't like them, but hey, a
- 1:00:20lot of people run them over here now.
- 1:00:21They're so much cheaper
- 1:00:22than your worn and whatnot.
- 1:00:24Oh my God, the worns
- 1:00:25are incredibly expensive.
- 1:00:27I can imagine what they are like down
- 1:00:28here, the Intonie A's. Pretty unreal.
- 1:00:30Yeah, they're very heavy, so I imagine
- 1:00:32they'd be very expensive to ship.
- 1:00:35That's why I'm just going to start
- 1:00:36looking into the Chinese air lockers.
- 1:00:41That's interesting.
- 1:00:42Well, people just started using them down
- 1:00:44here. If it goes the same way as the
- 1:00:47winches, might be worth looking into.
- 1:00:49Well, what kind of lockers do they have?
- 1:00:50What kind of lockers do the Chinese have?
- 1:00:52It's all new. I've just started looking
- 1:00:55into them now, same thing. All different
- 1:00:56names, probably out
- 1:00:57of the same factories.
- 1:00:59They're ARB type, Rene. I don't know if
- 1:01:02that's exactly the same one that Wayne's
- 1:01:05talking about, but I saw
- 1:01:06some videos on YouTube.
- 1:01:10ARB was actually showing how poorly they
- 1:01:13were built compared to the ARB.
- 1:01:15Obviously, if somebody comes out with
- 1:01:17something that's half the price or less
- 1:01:18than an ARB, ARB is going to show that
- 1:01:22there's problems with it.
- 1:01:23I don't know how accurate it was. It was
- 1:01:25just something they were showing.
- 1:01:28You can just do an ARB search on YouTube,
- 1:01:32and I bet you'll find that video.
- 1:01:36It was really interesting. They had it on
- 1:01:37a machine, and they were basically
- 1:01:38twisting the shaft until failure.
- 1:01:42As I recall, the Chinese-made air locker
- 1:01:45actually exploded out.
- 1:01:47I got some info I'll post it up at a
- 1:01:50later date. I've got that same thing you
- 1:01:52were talking about, too, Tony.
- 1:01:54I've got some interesting comments.
- 1:01:56I've got a question for you, Wayne.
- 1:01:58You're a whole lot closer to ARB than we
- 1:02:00are. Can't you get an ARB locker for a
- 1:02:02lot less than we can?
- 1:02:04I mean, you're a hell of a lot closer to
- 1:02:05Australia than we are.
- 1:02:06That's true.
- 1:02:08You wouldn't get any
- 1:02:09change out of 2K, mate.
- 1:02:10Did you say 2 grand for one, $2,000?
- 1:02:13Yeah, you wouldn't get any
- 1:02:14change out of 2K, mate. Easy.
- 1:02:16Good.
- 1:02:16That front bar I've got on mine, that's
- 1:02:18ARB. That cost me $1,600, mate. That's
- 1:02:22just crazy. But no one
- 1:02:23makes anything down here.
- 1:02:26You know, over here, there
- 1:02:27are about, what, Tony? $1,000?
- 1:02:31No, $850.
- 1:02:32$850.
- 1:02:33Right, but you don't need... You get one
- 1:02:37compressor and, you know,
- 1:02:39so $1,600, $1,700, another...
- 1:02:41So $2,000 would buy you two lockers and
- 1:02:44an air compressor. And that's the air
- 1:02:45compressor, the ARB air compressor.
- 1:02:48They're probably a freight or what do you
- 1:02:51call it, import bulk locks into America.
- 1:02:53That's probably why prices are different
- 1:02:55because we only got 4 million people here
- 1:02:57and the lack of these 200 of the Jeeps
- 1:02:59kind of thing, you know?
- 1:03:00Yeah, but I kind of agree with Rene. I
- 1:03:03would think that because of your
- 1:03:04proximity to Australia, it wouldn't cost
- 1:03:06that much to ship them
- 1:03:07from Australia to New Zealand.
- 1:03:09I mean, I guess in an American's eyes,
- 1:03:12you don't seem to be that far apart. So I
- 1:03:16would think that it wouldn't take much to
- 1:03:18get something from
- 1:03:20Australia to New Zealand.
- 1:03:21Australia hates us
- 1:03:22because we beat them at rugby.
- 1:03:26Well, that's its bad business.
- 1:03:30Then we just beat them at rugby league,
- 1:03:31so hey, they got to
- 1:03:33learn a grounding, fellas.
- 1:03:35I see there's an Australian
- 1:03:36on site now, better be careful.
- 1:03:39You know, 4 million people in New
- 1:03:40Zealand. How do you find a wife?
- 1:03:42Uh, alcohol.
- 1:03:47That's not very many people. I think
- 1:03:48there's more people than that in Houston.
- 1:03:51No, it's population.
- 1:03:52Yeah, you're up for damn sure.
- 1:03:54In the city here is just like, I think
- 1:03:56there's 300,000 in crosshuge. Somebody's
- 1:04:00semi-lungingly once.
- 1:04:01Thanks for dropping by, Flex. Flex is
- 1:04:03taking off. We're actually running a
- 1:04:05little long tonight, guys.
- 1:04:07Hey, Wayne. What's the
- 1:04:08ratio of guys and girls?
- 1:04:10I think there is a man drought, so they
- 1:04:12say I was watching a thing on TV the
- 1:04:13other night that he's more than mean.
- 1:04:16Man, I know Jim is going over there now.
- 1:04:18There's more women than men yet, Jim's
- 1:04:20like, let me book a flight now.
- 1:04:23I'm really surprised Jim has not
- 1:04:24commented on that yet.
- 1:04:26He's at the airport.
- 1:04:28Jim's going to have to
- 1:04:28get a note from his wife.
- 1:04:30Right.
- 1:04:31[Laughter]
- 1:04:41Seven to one in Austin.
- 1:04:44Catch some for me, Wayne. Big Jim says,
- 1:04:47catch some for me, Wayne.
- 1:04:48[Laughter]
- 1:04:49I already got a cap
- 1:04:50for lined up for Big Jim.
- 1:04:54Yeah, let me get there.
- 1:04:55About three foot tall.
- 1:04:58[Laughter]
- 1:04:59He started all that, mate.
- 1:05:00[Laughter]
- 1:05:02I'm just copping it. I just wear it. I
- 1:05:04just take it on the chin. It's all good.
- 1:05:07Oh, actually, you get a
- 1:05:08T-shirt made out of my leg.
- 1:05:10What was I going to say? I like doing...
- 1:05:12[Laughter]
- 1:05:15Toby, Toby says...
- 1:05:16You don't have... in New Zealand, do you?
- 1:05:18That's all in Australia.
- 1:05:20Sorry, what was that?
- 1:05:21You don't have... in New Zealand, do you?
- 1:05:22That's in Australia.
- 1:05:24No, this is Africa somewhere, isn't it?
- 1:05:27They got Aborigines in
- 1:05:28Australia, and we got the marries.
- 1:05:29That's what I was thinking. Aborigines.
- 1:05:31Can't say it, but
- 1:05:32that's what I was thinking.
- 1:05:32Aborigines. Indigenous people.
- 1:05:36So how much are the marries?
- 1:05:38Hey, Detours, I used to have a bumper
- 1:05:39sticker on my big Chevrolet.
- 1:05:42It said, "Lifted high.
- 1:05:43Fat girls can't jump."
- 1:05:44Oh, man.
- 1:05:46[Laughter]
- 1:05:49I bet you got some looks.
- 1:05:51Oh, yeah. But I also had one
- 1:05:53on the same truck that said,
- 1:05:54"You don't like my
- 1:05:55driving dial 1-800 each."
- 1:05:56You know, what the hell?
- 1:05:59I was thinking about that one on the
- 1:06:00other side, the truck areas.
- 1:06:02You know, I was thinking
- 1:06:02about that one of these...
- 1:06:04the way technology is now, you can get an
- 1:06:06800 number for pretty cheap.
- 1:06:08It would be fun to set up an 800 number
- 1:06:10that basically just
- 1:06:11told you to go F yourself.
- 1:06:14[Laughter] Give everybody these
- 1:06:15stickers. "How's my driving?"
- 1:06:16"Call 800." You know, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:06:18And this recording that comes on and
- 1:06:20screams, "Holy hell!" at you.
- 1:06:22Like, "Mind your own damn business. You
- 1:06:23don't like the way I drive?
- 1:06:24Get off the sidewalk?" I
- 1:06:26think it would be hilarious.
- 1:06:27Especially if you could record the call.
- 1:06:30I think that would be a lot of fun.
- 1:06:33Oh, did you see what
- 1:06:34Toby just wrote on there?
- 1:06:36He said, "I saw one that said, "One-ton
- 1:06:38axles. Fat girls allowed."
- 1:06:41Or something like that.
- 1:06:43Yeah, it's good.
- 1:06:43You got a lot of new members posting now,
- 1:06:45too, Tony. A lot of blue. It's good.
- 1:06:47Yeah. Actually, I had to make some
- 1:06:50changes to the newsletter,
- 1:06:52the biweekly newsletter, and finally got
- 1:06:56those changes, so I sent that out.
- 1:06:58And that always gets a lot of people onto
- 1:07:00the site. I'm a little surprised.
- 1:07:03At least they're not complaining about
- 1:07:05getting the newsletter, but it seems to
- 1:07:07remind people about XJTalk.
- 1:07:09And I don't know how they
- 1:07:10can forget about it myself.
- 1:07:12Just need a few more green
- 1:07:13ones. I'll leave them back.
- 1:07:16I've seen two green ones now, and they've
- 1:07:18both been flipped and trashed.
- 1:07:20That one from Australia, I've forgotten
- 1:07:24his username.
- 1:07:24Actually, his wife flipped it.
- 1:07:26Man, that was horrible. I cannot believe
- 1:07:28she came out of that unscratched.
- 1:07:30That was pretty banged up.
- 1:07:31Well, you were brilliant.
- 1:07:32Go ahead, Wayne. I'm sorry.
- 1:07:33I was just saying about that poster from
- 1:07:35the Australian guy.
- 1:07:36His wife flipped the XJ.
- 1:07:37I was pretty banged up. I don't know if
- 1:07:38you've seen the pics.
- 1:07:39Yeah, I did. You know the amazing thing
- 1:07:41is, I guess he let it go
- 1:07:42to the insurance company.
- 1:07:44I was thinking, "Man, cut the top off of
- 1:07:46it, put a cage in it, and you got an
- 1:07:47instant off-road buggy."
- 1:07:48Over in Australia, mate, they're
- 1:07:50really... I'm going to say...
- 1:07:53...about mods you can do to your
- 1:07:55vehicles. You can only left a certain
- 1:07:57height, and they're really, really strict
- 1:07:59on what you can do to four-wheel drives.
- 1:08:00Or hot rides, or whatever car.
- 1:08:03Really? That's amazing. That isn't my
- 1:08:05image of Australia at all.
- 1:08:07I know that they've got gun control,
- 1:08:09major gun control over there now.
- 1:08:12To me, Australia was like Texas. It was
- 1:08:15just wild, and pretty much anything went.
- 1:08:17At least that's what I had in my mind. I
- 1:08:20don't know how that meshes with reality.
- 1:08:23Years ago, when they sent all the
- 1:08:25convicts from England, maybe then, but...
- 1:08:29No, it's... They're really funny over
- 1:08:31there about their four-wheel drives.
- 1:08:32I'm actually on a cheap, Aussie one, and
- 1:08:35they're always moaning about not allowed
- 1:08:37any more than 1.5, 2.0, left in
- 1:08:40Queensland or New South
- 1:08:41Wales, or wherever it is.
- 1:08:42It was really crazy. But they've got some
- 1:08:44really different wheeling over there.
- 1:08:45Yeah, they'd have to.
- 1:08:47A lot of touring where they go up the
- 1:08:49cape and then you won't see anyone for
- 1:08:51days, so you're going to be all
- 1:08:52self-sufficient. Quite interesting stuff.
- 1:08:54Well, you know what amazes me. Doesn't
- 1:08:57Australia have a ton of dirt roads?
- 1:08:59Yes.
- 1:09:02How can you patrol them?
- 1:09:05They don't. You just go for it. They have
- 1:09:09the truck trains out there.
- 1:09:12That's the only thing you watch for.
- 1:09:13Apparently, you can see the dust coming,
- 1:09:14and you just pull to
- 1:09:14the side of the road.
- 1:09:16It'll never go past. But they do. They're
- 1:09:18going to be self-supplicant. Most of the
- 1:09:19mods in their trucks, they've got to put
- 1:09:21water tanks in their trucks and stuff.
- 1:09:24There's a few XJZ, Tawr, on the side. I
- 1:09:27should post them up.
- 1:09:30Well, how's your... Are y'all's laws
- 1:09:32pretty strict over there about lifting
- 1:09:34and stuff or mouth's a bass?
- 1:09:36Not so bad. I've got... I had to get a
- 1:09:39suit for my lift and for the size of my
- 1:09:43rims, but it's only more for insurance.
- 1:09:45But we've got some pretty big nalley
- 1:09:46trucks over here. All road legal.
- 1:09:49I'm sure it should be.
- 1:09:52It's funny because Tony and I are both in
- 1:09:54Texas, and a lot of... Matter of fact,
- 1:09:56Tony and I, Big Jim, we're all in Texas.
- 1:10:00And they're like, the only laws we have
- 1:10:02as far as lifting is your headlights
- 1:10:03can't be above 54 inches in the air.
- 1:10:06Other than that, pretty much open. No
- 1:10:08fender flares, no nothing.
- 1:10:11I noticed you don't have to ruin fender
- 1:10:13fliers. I've got to cover 80% of my tire
- 1:10:16or something. What sticks out?
- 1:10:18Well, actually, I think it's California.
- 1:10:20You have to cover the entire tire.
- 1:10:22Not really. Yeah, but it's
- 1:10:23show pony state, isn't it?
- 1:10:24California is very liberal and very...
- 1:10:28climbs their politics and laws really
- 1:10:31climb up the people's a** in California.
- 1:10:34There's just no way I'd want to say that.
- 1:10:36Arnie's in charge, is that why?
- 1:10:38Well, he's gone now. As of January 1st,
- 1:10:42he's no longer governor.
- 1:10:44Must be making movies again, is he?
- 1:10:46We'll see. I kind of doubt it. He wasn't
- 1:10:50very popular as governor over there.
- 1:10:52All right, Kay. We
- 1:10:54get a lot of your news.
- 1:10:56Well, did you hear what they said in
- 1:10:59Oregon? Do you have more than an inch of
- 1:11:02tire past the flares here, or mud flaps
- 1:11:05are required in Oregon?
- 1:11:07Yeah, I know there's been... I've seen
- 1:11:09some posts where people have mud flaps
- 1:11:11on, and I would not be
- 1:11:13happy with mud flaps on my XJ.
- 1:11:16No.
- 1:11:17And Detour says there are
- 1:11:19no laws in Kentucky. Serious.
- 1:11:23Better watch your
- 1:11:2514-year-old daughters then.
- 1:11:30Crazy.
- 1:11:31Yeah, a buggy would be funny.
- 1:11:32I ain't even in Kentucky where they marry
- 1:11:35their sisters and stuff.
- 1:11:37Cousin's on it.
- 1:11:38I'm telling you, the only reason why Mark
- 1:11:40Detour's moved to Kentucky was he wanted
- 1:11:43to say he lives in KY.
- 1:11:44[Laughter]
- 1:11:51He wrote that.
- 1:11:55He wrote that. I wrote that. I wrote that
- 1:11:56with my little head.
- 1:11:57Oh, very good. Very good.
- 1:12:03Look at that. Detour is he's trying to
- 1:12:06retaliate in chat, but he
- 1:12:08says, "You are all removed."
- 1:12:11Yeah, he's got a skyfic in
- 1:12:12Cooyo. Good job, John Paul.
- 1:12:14[Laughter]
- 1:12:16Alright, guys. It's been a lot of fun.
- 1:12:17We're 21 minutes over time.
- 1:12:20I figured it was just too... You guys
- 1:12:23hadn't been on long
- 1:12:24enough. It was just too much fun.
- 1:12:26We'll have to get you
- 1:12:27guys on earlier next time.
- 1:12:30So I'm going to wrap it up. Thank you
- 1:12:31very much for calling in.
- 1:12:33Wayne, good luck over there.
- 1:12:35Keep the windows rolled up.
- 1:12:37Keep the mud out. Three hours cleaning
- 1:12:39time. That's pretty rough.
- 1:12:42Not a problem. Thanks for having me,
- 1:12:44mate. I'll catch you later, really.
- 1:12:45Hey, you too, Wayne. Hey, by the way,
- 1:12:47what you were talking about, all the mud
- 1:12:48in the interior, on that video, when I
- 1:12:50sprayed everybody with the mud, when I
- 1:12:52dropped off in that
- 1:12:53ledge, I've got probably...
- 1:12:55My back door panels, you can't tell what
- 1:12:57color they are, with all the mud on them.
- 1:12:58So, yeah, I kind of understand that.
- 1:13:02You know, I opened the doors with water
- 1:13:03blasts on them, but I'm
- 1:13:03not telling anyone that.
- 1:13:05But mud is fun. I like
- 1:13:07mud. It's just a real
- 1:13:08***
- 1:13:09to clean it off.
- 1:13:11Or just leave it on there for the next
- 1:13:13time you go wheeling,
- 1:13:13and it don't matter.
- 1:13:14Oh, God. People behind you are usually
- 1:13:17dodging as it's drying and falling off.
- 1:13:19You tell me, though. Bye, Wayne.
- 1:13:22I'm going to say good afternoon, Wayne,
- 1:13:24and good night, Tony.
- 1:13:25Thanks so much, guys.
- 1:13:27You have a good night.
- 1:13:28Talk to you all later. Bye-bye.

- 1:15:21Guys, really appreciate you coming in.
- 1:15:24Looks like we had a
- 1:15:25total of 51 viewers tonight.
- 1:15:28So, quite good. The
- 1:15:30numbers increase every week.
- 1:15:34And maybe I can get something together
- 1:15:39now that the holidays are over and I can
- 1:15:41concentrate on some good show material.
- 1:15:44We're looking at doing some shows, some
- 1:15:50how-tos. Jensen from the site knows how
- 1:15:55to do bodywork and
- 1:15:56work on various things.
- 1:15:59There's actually quite a few people on
- 1:16:00the site that can do
- 1:16:02things and have cameras.
- 1:16:04So, we may be getting some how-to
- 1:16:07segments on the show and go over both
- 1:16:11how-to verbally for our podcast listeners
- 1:16:15and for those that are here watching the
- 1:16:18Ustream, we may have some video.
- 1:16:21So, thanks again. Really, really
- 1:16:23appreciate you guys showing up and
- 1:16:26participating in the
- 1:16:28site and in the chat room.
- 1:16:30And we'll see you next week, 8 p.m. next
- 1:16:34Wednesday, 8 p.m. Central.
- 1:16:37Thanks guys. Have a good night.

- 1:17:38better f***ing site, f*** you.
- 1:17:41By the way, this is Big Jim 350. Bye.
