I could just do a part show

Let's get to one
0:03
Now
0:04
Now
0:42
Welcome to Jeep Cherokee XJTalk.com show.
0:46
I'm going to throw a couple more words in
0:48
there so it can be at least as long as my
0:50
street address.
0:52
My name is Tony, motoroy on XJTalk.com.
0:55
This is the show.
0:57
Brought to you by XJTalk.com, which is
1:01
all about Jeep Cherokees.
1:05
Well, the show's not
1:06
all about Jeep Cherokees.
1:08
We do talk about other
1:09
things, but that's the main idea.
1:14
Tonight we have a special event.
1:16
We've been having a contest for some
1:19
Detour A pillar light
1:22
mounts for Jeep Cherokees.
1:24
And that contest was you buy a ticket.
1:27
You get a chance to win.
1:28
And we have a hat full of names.
1:32
40 entries.
1:34
I can't remember how many people.
1:36
I guess there was about 10 or 12 people
1:39
that bought chances to win.
1:43
And we're going to pick out of the hat
1:45
live here during the show.
1:48
And you know if you've ever watched
1:50
professionals, they always
1:52
do it at the beginning of the
1:53
show.
1:54
No.
1:55
No.
1:56
They do it at the end.
1:59
We'll get started here in a minute.

Wheeling Plus, P-L-U-S, dot com.
2:56
Oh, that's me.
2:58
XJTalk.com.
3:01
It's where you go
3:02
when you're not off road.
3:03
So you can see the names and the hat.
3:05
No predetermined winners here, guys.
3:08
Oh, yeah.
3:09
I did that.
3:10
I shaved off the beard.
3:11
I had enough of that stuff.
3:12
I was going to try to make
3:13
it until tomorrow, actually.
3:15
I was going to shave it off on the first.
3:17
But I do not like facial hair.
3:20
It's OK for a little bit.
3:21
But it gets all my nerves pretty quick.
3:23
Hey, how would you like to advertise on
3:25

3:29
Just send an email to advertise at
3:31
XJTalk.com for more information.
3:35
Having too much fun with the hat.
3:36
This is a red hat.
3:39
The operating system, Linux red hat.
3:42
I guess it would be the flavor.
3:44
There's many flavors of Linux.
3:48
Red hat being my personal favorite.
3:50
Of course, they kind of split off into
3:54
red hat being the
3:55
enterprise portion of it and
3:57
the Ecuador core, which is
3:58
kind of the hobbyist thing.
3:59
There's really not a lot difference
4:02
between the two, at
4:03
least none that I can find.
4:05
So guys, as I was saying during the
4:06
intro, we're going to be
4:07
doing the drawing, as in
4:10
drawing a name out of
4:12
the hat during the show.
4:14
I'm not going to be the one doing it.
4:16
I'm going to have one of my daughters
4:18
come in here and pull it out.
4:20
And we'll read the name after we've
4:23
pulled the name from
4:24
the hat and see who it is.
4:26
I didn't fold them up.
4:27
I made sure they didn't stick together
4:29
because I want to make sure
4:30
everybody has an opportunity.
4:32
I think if you weren't watching the site
4:35
last night, it was kind of funny.
4:37
We had a, I guess it would be like buying
4:41
an entry war between
4:44
Weldman and Stefan, Steph
4:49
74.
4:51
And I don't know what the shipping is,
4:54
Wayne, but I can send you
4:55
a hat if that's what you're
4:56
wanting.
4:58
Wayne can't have 27 says gay hat.
5:01
I think he's just crab because his house
5:04
keeps shaking and not in a good way.
5:08
Yeah, that's right.
5:09
It is a red hat.
5:12
Red Jeep, red hat.
5:14
That's great.
5:15
I don't have any green hats.
5:17
I got a Glock hat over there.
5:19
I got another red hat and I think I got
5:20
one over there that says Wrangler.
5:22
Would you prefer the Wrangler hat?
5:24
Just reading the chat room that if you're
5:26
listening to the podcast, you can't see.
5:28
Actually if you're watching the video
5:32
recording on Ustream or YouTube, you
5:37
can't see it either.
5:37
So you'll just have to trust me.
5:40
Okay.
5:41
Somebody's trying to do, somebody's
5:45
trying to put up some links.
5:46
So I turned on the allow links.
5:49
So PEI, you can now send the links.
5:53
By the way, there was about, I don't
5:56
know, maybe there was
5:56
only two or three people in
5:58
Canada that entered the contest.
6:01
I think you know if there's any
6:04
difference in shipping
6:05
between what is the standard amount
6:09
to ship in the U.S., I'll need to get
6:12
some more money from you.
6:13
So if one of you Canadians in that
6:16
fictional country of
6:17
Canada win the Apellers, I'll be
6:20
in contact with you to, you
6:23
know, make up the difference.
6:24
And you never can tell.
6:25
Mark might be in a good mood and just
6:28
say, "What the hell?"
6:30
I might be in a good mood if I find out
6:32
it doesn't cost that
6:33
much more because I just
6:34
appreciate you guys
6:36
joining in on the contest.
6:38
And as you may have seen, I put on the
6:41
site, this was kind of a
6:42
test for future contests.
6:44
I wanted to see if it was viable to put
6:49
up a contest, put up an
6:50
item for contest, sell
6:52
some tickets and see if
6:54
people would buy enough tickets.
6:57
And I figured worst case scenario is I'd
7:00
put up the $47 Apeller
7:03
light mounts from Detours
7:05
and I'd only sell one ticket.
7:09
Well, I guess worst case, it could have
7:10
been since the site
7:12
subscribers were getting free
7:14
tickets, I guess it's possible that I
7:16
could have sold no
7:17
tickets and then had three or
7:19
four entries and then wound up paying the
7:22
$47 and had it shipped.
7:23
But like I said, it was a test to see if
7:27
we could actually sell
7:28
enough tickets to cover
7:30
the price of the item.
7:33
What I would like to do is get to where
7:37
we're doing much bigger
7:39
items like bumpers, front
7:43
rear, winches.
7:46
Actually I would ultimately like to get
7:48
to where we build a
7:49
Jeep and give that away.
7:51
I was very impressed whenever I saw that
7:55
naxj.org was doing that
7:59
and I thought, you know, of
8:00
course we're nowhere nearly as big as
8:02
those guys, but we
8:04
certainly have some outstanding
8:06
vendors that provide a lot of nice parts.
8:11
Matt M.S.
8:13
Moremberg, our other administrator, he
8:18
has a shop and he
8:21
actually probably has enough
8:23
Jeeps over there to make one now.
8:27
So I think that even though we're kind of
8:30
new, only two years
8:31
old, that given the right
8:35
set of circumstances, a little more
8:36
growth, a little more
8:37
interest in these contests,
8:40
we'll eventually get there
8:41
where we can give away a Jeep.
8:43
I think that would be really, really cool
8:45
to actually have
8:45
somebody driving around in
8:46
an XJ Talk Jeep.
8:48
Of course, we'd probably have to put a
8:49
big fat sticker on it on
8:50
there or something, you
8:51
know, says XJ Talk.
8:53
Nothing's free in this world.
8:56
Even if you find a wallet, you still have
8:59
to bend over and pick it up.
9:00
So hood decal.
9:02
I like the side, you know, because the
9:04
Jeep would be lifted so
9:05
high nobody would see it.
9:08
Well I thought what we'd do tonight is
9:11
I'm going to change the
9:12
format up a little bit.
9:13
We were doing the interviews, the
9:15
30-minute interviews and
9:16
then the 30-minute question
9:19
and I want to kind of, I like the idea of
9:22
having phone calls
9:23
and talking to you guys.
9:25
Not really putting you on the spot to do
9:28
an interview, but just
9:29
call in and chat about
9:31
things and we get to know you better.
9:33
Certainly you post up on the site and we
9:37
get to know you from
9:38
there, but we often don't
9:40
hear, we often don't get, you know, a
9:44
voice or an accent in
9:48
Wayne and Rene's case.
9:50
So it's kind of fun to hear and there's
9:54
just better
9:55
communications when you hear somebody.
9:57
So let me put that up
10:00
there on the screen.
10:03
Yep, okay, it's up.
10:05
So we can take calls over the phone,
10:08
which you see the
10:08
number there, and we can take
10:11
calls over Skype.
10:12
So if you'd like to call in and chat
10:14
about one thing or
10:15
another or a bitch about waiting
10:18
for the contest, that's fine.
10:19
Just whatever you want to talk about.
10:21
I don't know if you guys know it or not,
10:23
but I personally and
10:26
XJTalk are on Twitter and
10:29
I was watching Twitter today at work and
10:31
I saw one of the new services that I have
10:34
that I'm following.
10:37
It said that there are reports of a minor
10:42
or low-level
10:43
radiation in the United States
10:46
milk supply.
10:47
And being the smartest that I am, I
10:50
immediately thought,
10:52
"Message from Japan, payback's a
10:55
bitch."
10:56
That's because America bombed Japan with
11:00
atomic weapons back in World War II.
11:01
So they're sending it back.
11:04
That's the joke.
11:05
It's not the Affleck joke, you know.
11:07
Okay, I think it would
11:08
be better on Twitter.
11:10
No, I think radiation turns
11:12
milk red are kind of a pinkish.
11:18
So come on, guys.
11:19
You see the number at
11:20
the bottom of the screen?
11:20
You see the number at
11:21
the top of the screen?
11:22
Give me a call.
11:23
You know, Wayne, you
11:24
can't make up your mind.
11:25
You said that the hat looked gay, but now
11:28
you're saying "young pink."
11:30
Yeah, it's amazing the type things that
11:32
go on in the social stream, so to speak.
11:38
There was a full nude picture of a guy
11:44
that was posted on
11:46
Facebook the other day and I
11:48
recorded that one as spam, and I'll
11:51
believe that Facebook
11:53
did something about that.
11:55
Now one of the interesting things is
11:58
several of the
11:58
individuals that follow or that have
12:01
friended XJ Talk on Facebook are either
12:04
in, I think Mexico,
12:07
certainly Latin America, and
12:09
some of them are Italians.
12:12
I've noticed that the Italians probably
12:15
put up the best girl
12:16
pictures that I see on there.
12:20
They're not really
12:22
R-rated, but they're pretty close.
12:26
We'll see you later, East Texas Hunter.
12:29
Yeah, please come back.
12:30
And of course, you can always catch the
12:33
show at
12:34
podcasts.xjtalk.com and also available
12:39
on iTunes.
12:40
That's the Apple thing.
12:43
So no calls.
12:45
Has anybody tried calling?
12:46
Is it not working?
12:48
Hello?
12:48
Is this thing on?
12:50
Metlick?
12:51
I appreciate you calling that question in
12:56
Metlick because I didn't know that that's
12:58
how you pronounce that.
12:59
Metlick53.
13:00
What is a Metlick?
13:02
Or do I want to know?
13:05
We have two guests, so any of you guests
13:08
that would like to call
13:10
in, hey, man, feel free.
13:12
It's not just for the
13:13
people in the chat room.
13:16
So the number's on the screen.
13:17
If you're blind, I'll read it for you.
13:21
530-675-4102.
13:26
And you can call us on Skype.
13:29
Just what is it?
13:30
Is it xjtalk.com or is it xjtalk?
13:33
I think it's xjtalk.com.
13:35
Let's see.
13:37
See if I can even tell.
13:38
Yeah, it's xjtalk.com.
13:40
So let's see.
13:45
Let's see if it's working.
13:46
Hello.
13:47
Welcome to Skype call testing service.
13:49
After the beep, please record a message.
13:52
Afterwards, you're...
13:53
I think that's a relative of Wayne's.
13:56
She talks funny.
13:58
She talks all Miss.
13:59
P.R.I.S.
14:01
See, Reenie doesn't want to
14:02
call because he always calls.
14:05
It doesn't look like
14:05
Scott's in here tonight.
14:07
He's the other one that always calls.
14:09
Oh, to answer your question, Reenie, I
14:13
don't know who Linda is.
14:14
I'd have to actually go in and look up
14:16
her email because
14:18
whenever they bought an entry
14:20
for the contest, they...
14:23
It doesn't give their username.
14:25
It just gives their email
14:28
and mailing information.
14:31
I want to say billing,
14:31
but mailing information.
14:33
So it's just first name,
14:34
last name, and address.
14:37
So I have no idea.
14:38
I'd have to actually go in and look up...
14:41
Do a search by email.
14:43
And if they use a different email, it
14:46
might not come up with
14:48
the member name that way
14:49
either.
14:50
So if you guys aren't going to call in,
14:51
you can chat with me here on chat.
14:54
You chat, you type, and I'll talk.
14:56
So what's going on with you guys?
14:58
You've got an off-road...
15:01
Houston...
15:02
Some of the Houston guys have an off-road
15:04
adventure coming up this Saturday, right?
15:08
Four or two.
15:10
And I believe you're going out to
15:12
Creekside Edge, which I
15:15
believe is the only off-road
15:19
park in Houston.
15:20
Hard to believe.
15:21
And technically, it's not in Houston.
15:23
It's a pretty good
15:24
ways away from Houston.
15:27
I guess I can tell
15:28
you about my adventure.
15:30
I posted this on the site, but for
15:34
anybody that hasn't read
15:36
the post or maybe doesn't
15:37
frequent the site, which you should.
15:40
Anyway, my wife and youngest daughter
15:45
were off at a school
15:48
function during spring break.
15:50
They had a robot thing.
15:53
One of those robot competitions, and
15:54
she's in a class where
15:55
they're building this robot
15:57
and they could go pick up a balloon and
15:59
put it on a hook or something like that.
16:01
So my wife and daughter were...youngest
16:04
daughter were gone to that.
16:05
And it was a three-day event.
16:08
So I believe it was on Saturday.
16:10
I asked my older daughter if she wanted
16:13
to go get something to eat.
16:14
So we went over to Red Robin because they
16:18
really have great hamburgers.
16:21
I don't know.
16:22
I'm not going to have some
16:22
sort of deal with the devil.
16:23
I can't imagine any
16:24
hamburger tasting that good.
16:26
We went over there, and of
16:27
course we went in the Jeep.
16:29
And when we got done, we were leaving,
16:32
and there was two kids
16:33
sitting out on a curb.
16:36
He was really unusual because there's
16:39
really nothing there.
16:40
I mean, there's a J.C.
16:41
Penney's.
16:42
There's the Red Robin.
16:46
And I thought it was strange.
16:48
They were sitting there.
16:48
And I saw one of the two boys that looked
16:51
like the older,
16:52
taller of the two, kind of
16:54
looking over my way.
16:56
And he started waving, and I kind of
16:57
figured that he wanted to
16:59
ask me something about the
17:00
Jeep or if he...you know, I don't know,
17:03
you know, how kids get
17:04
excited about things.
17:06
It was red, so it's understandable.
17:09
Anyway, he says,
17:10
"Hey, can you help us out?
17:12
We got stuck."
17:15
And I said, "Oh."
17:16
And then I realized, "Yep, just right
17:18
across the street is this huge
17:20
subdivision that they
17:21
started building and then stopped.
17:24
They didn't even get as far as...well,
17:27
they put a big ring, a
17:28
concrete road around it.
17:30
I mean, really big, like
17:31
around the whole subdivision.
17:33
And I think they got out there at least
17:35
enough to clear away all
17:37
the grass and any trees
17:38
and stuff.
17:40
So...and this is a number of years back
17:43
that this happened, and
17:44
the subdivision just didn't
17:46
happen.
17:46
But all the four-wheel drives in the area
17:50
immediately started
17:51
using it as an off-road
17:52
park.
17:54
And it was a pretty cool place.
17:58
It's nothing real difficult.
18:00
It gets real muddy, and there's some
18:02
pretty good-sized ruts
18:03
out there, depending on the
18:04
size of vehicles that go out there.
18:07
So these two gentlemen that I would
18:11
assume were probably 15 or
18:14
I guess 16 is the driving
18:16
age, anywhere between 16 and 18 years old
18:21
went out in a Jeep Cherokee.
18:24
It was a 2001.
18:27
Fortunately, it was a four-wheel drive,
18:30
but what it wasn't, it
18:32
wasn't anything other than
18:34
the stock Jeep Cherokee.
18:37
They went out there, the two of them in
18:39
the one vehicle, and got
18:42
it high-centered because
18:43
they were trying to go
18:44
through some very sizable ruts.
18:47
So they said, "Hey, can you help us out?"
18:49
And I thought, "Yeah, sure, why not?
18:51
I just put on the..."
18:55
Yeah, actually, that day I put on the
18:59
Ironman 4x4Fab.com lower control arms.
19:04
So I thought, "Hey, this is a great test.
19:06
I'll go out there and just go off-road
19:10
and pull out the winch
19:12
cable and make them hook
19:14
it up and drag the
19:15
little a** out of the mud."
19:17
So we went over there, and I got the tree
19:21
saver out and handed it to the guy.
19:23
I got the oversized D-ring, handed it to
19:27
the guy, and I went
19:28
and got the winch, put
19:31
it in neutral, and
19:31
started spooling out the cable.
19:34
And I figured I would
19:34
just pull him forward.
19:36
I really didn't realize
19:37
that it was stuck so bad.
19:43
I mean, I didn't realize it was
19:44
high-centered at the time.
19:46
So I hooked up...after they hooked it up,
19:52
I started trying to
19:54
pull him out, and it wasn't
19:56
going anywhere.
19:57
My Jeep was going somewhere.
19:59
I was dragging it easily, dragging it
20:02
forward towards their front bumper.
20:05
So that wasn't going to work.
20:06
I tried calling Scott, and Scott was
20:09
actually taking out a
20:10
tree in Creekside Edge with a
20:14
few of you guys at the same
20:16
time that this was going on.
20:18
So he wasn't available, and I got to
20:20
think about it, looked
20:21
at the situation a little
20:23
bit, and realized that's when I realized
20:25
they were high-centered
20:26
on the Dana 30 up front.
20:29
So my daughter and I drove around behind
20:33
them, and now they hook
20:35
up the tree strap, the tree
20:44
saver strap, the big D-ring, and the winch cable to the back of their Jeep. And now they start moving.
20:45
So this is actually much better.
20:47
We're getting them out.
20:49
Got them all the way out, unhooked the
20:52
strap and stuff, and I
20:53
wanted to wait long enough
20:54
just to make sure they were going to be
20:55
clear before I
20:56
started putting anything up.
20:58
And the younger of the two, certainly the
21:01
smaller of the two,
21:02
gets back in the Jeep.
21:03
The other guy gets in the passenger side,
21:05
waves, says, "Thank you very much."
21:07
And the kid that had got stuck in the
21:11
first place takes off in
21:14
the same rut where he had
21:15
gotten, the ruts where he
21:17
had gotten stuck before.
21:18
I mean, like a bat out of head.
21:19
He got about five feet further this time.
21:23
So I had a long talk with him, told him
21:26
he had about a 50-50
21:27
chance of me just leaving
21:28
his ass there.
21:30
They hooked it back up.
21:31
I drug him out.
21:33
The older boy took the keys away from
21:36
him, and he didn't go through the ruts.
21:39
I told him.
21:40
I said, "You guys do what you want to do.
21:42
I'm putting this stuff up and going away.
21:44
So if you want to go play, go right
21:46
ahead, but I ain't pulling you out."
21:48
And come to find out, they had been
21:50
sitting on that curb for two hours.
21:53
So sitting there two hours stuck, not
21:56
being able to get out,
21:57
and waiting for somebody
21:58
to come help them.
22:00
That kid still drove
22:01
through those ruts again.
22:03
You know, I think it's great
22:04
to have that kind of attitude.
22:05
It's like, "I'm going to
22:06
do it, but I don't know."
22:09
At some point, you've got to say, "This
22:10
is not worth my time."
22:13
Oh, and he was late to work.
22:15
Ahh.
22:17
Oh well.
22:18
We have a call to see
22:19
if they're still there.
22:20
They called about
22:21
halfway through my story.
22:22
They were probably hoping I'd stop.
22:25
Hey, thanks for calling.
22:25
Who we got?
22:27
This is Cherokee Forum
22:29
Lover, also known as Big Jim 350.
22:31
Hey, Big Jim.
22:32
How's it going?
22:33
Pretty good.
22:34
Yeah, I called, so you would stop the
22:36
story, but it didn't work.
22:38
No, I have a switchboard.
22:40
I can control all that.
22:41
Oh, and let me say, if you have the show
22:44
up on your computer,
22:44
turn it down, because you'll
22:45
get real confused from the delay.
22:48
Oh yeah.
22:49
I'm smarter than people think I am.
22:52
You're all over top of that.
22:53
Hey man, how's the job hunt going?
22:55
I know you went in for
22:56
a couple of interviews.
22:57
Is that still going on?
22:59
Well, thanks for asking,
23:00
but no, I didn't get it.
23:01
Oh no.
23:03
Halfway through that question, I thought
23:05
to myself, you know,
23:06
this might be a bad question
23:07
to ask.
23:09
It might really be a bummer.
23:11
It would have been
23:12
earlier, but I'm a lot better now.
23:14
Well, that's really surprising.
23:15
They don't usually do the two interview
23:17
thing on somebody
23:18
they're not going to bring on.
23:19
Well, they laid off a bunch of cops, so
23:21
they ended up hiring
23:22
cops that just got fired.
23:25
Okay.
23:26
Well, stick with it.
23:27
You know, Obama's in charge.
23:29
It'll get better.
23:30
That's what I was figuring.
23:31
I figured if worse comes to worse, I'll
23:33
just go to New Zealand.
23:35
You know, I know Wayne is down, and I
23:38
certainly understand why.
23:40
But like I said on the forum today,
23:42
there's got to be a lot
23:43
of concrete work to do.
23:45
Whenever things get stable, there's going
23:48
to be a lot of work for a long time.
23:50
Yeah.
23:52
So what are we talking about here?
23:53
I just call.
23:54
I don't know nothing about Jeeps.
23:55
I just wanted to call.
23:56
Yeah, you know something about Jeeps.
23:58
How does your wife like that new Jeep?
24:01
She likes it so far.
24:03
She doesn't like how low it is.
24:05
Oh, really?
24:06
So I thought she might be fighting you.
24:09
I figured there was going to be a fight
24:10
with you wanting to
24:11
modify it and her not wanting
24:13
you to touch it.
24:15
She's wanting to know why
24:16
that's why I'm waiting so long.
24:18
Well, you know, I'm
24:22
collecting parts over here.
24:23
I've got some four
24:25
and a half inch springs.
24:27
Well, they're not
24:27
really four and a half inch.
24:28
They're out of leaf, and you need
24:30
shackles to make them four and a half.
24:32
And I just pulled off the lower control
24:34
arms, which are for four and a half.
24:36
So.
24:37
Amy's right.
24:38
She said she just wanted a small lip,
24:40
something small like six inches.
24:44
I'm surprised she didn't
24:45
want something bigger than that.
24:48
Well, I'm pretty proud to say my wife
24:50
thinks six inches is small.
24:54
Oh, my bad.
24:55
I forgot I'm live.
24:56
And sorry, just to say real quick,
24:58
there's another caller
24:59
coming in, and we can only
25:01
take one call at a time.
25:02
This is not a professional radio station.
25:06
So you're probably going to get the
25:07
voicemail here in a second.
25:09
They might be a better caller than I am.
25:11
Well, unless it's too bad,
25:12
because we got you right now.
25:13
We'll, whenever you get
25:15
off, we'll take another one.
25:16
Now, if you guys have Skype, we can get
25:18
you both on at the same time.
25:20
I have a staff.
25:21
I just have a really crappy
25:22
computer, and I can't use it.
25:25
Let me see.
25:27
I'm trying to remember that the Jeep, is
25:29
it a gray or silver Jeep?
25:31
The Cherokee that you got your wife?
25:33
My wife says it's a silver color.
25:35
Silver, yeah.
25:37
I think everybody knows
25:38
by now that mine's green.
25:39
Right.
25:40
It started off green, right?
25:43
No, mine started off.
25:45
A shade of red.
25:47
Oh, really?
25:48
So I quickly covered that up.
25:49
So no wonder it's red underneath.
25:53
So you're trying to hide its roots.
25:56
You could say that.
25:58
It didn't start out right.
26:00
I had to make it better.
26:01
But it's getting there.
26:03
Well, you know, the green, I've said it
26:06
before, the green's
26:07
actually better for off-road.
26:09
It's more, you know, hunting and off-road
26:11
and stealthy and so on and so forth.
26:13
Red is that flashy go
26:16
fast look at me color.
26:18
Yeah, sometimes I wish it was red.
26:20
That way when I, you know, wax it up and
26:23
take poser shots out there,
26:24
it would look a lot prettier.
26:25
Mm-hmm, exactly.
26:28
You need to get your
26:29
shit out there again.
26:30
People don't realize how good you will it
26:32
when you take it out there.
26:33
Well, you know, I get upset and I try to
26:35
go up things, and I
26:36
wind up bending a track bar
26:38
and bending a rocker.
26:40
I got to get those sliders.
26:42
I want some sliders.
26:43
You know, I didn't really think I needed
26:44
any until I bent that rocker.
26:46
Yeah.
26:47
I figured sliders was mainly, you know,
26:49
rock-type thing, and
26:50
boy, got up on that stomp
26:52
and bent the hell out of that thing.
26:55
I just used my rocker panels as sliders.
26:58
They work great.
26:59
You got sliders on yours, don't you?
27:01
No, I don't.
27:03
I got some beat-up rockers, though.
27:05
Mm.
27:06
Well...
27:06
That's the joy of
27:07
having an old crappy beat.
27:08
Yeah, that would be a lot of fun to have.
27:11
I don't have enough room to have a bunch
27:12
of vehicles, but it
27:13
sure would be fun to have
27:14
a beater or something that I didn't have
27:18
to depend upon to go
27:20
back and forth every day.
27:23
Oh, I hate to have to
27:23
depend on mine to drive the work.
27:25
Uh-huh.
27:26
I'd hate to have to depend
27:27
on mine to drive the work.
27:28
Yeah, well, Reaney does that.
27:30
That's the thing that gets me.
27:31
Of course, I don't think Reaney sleeps.
27:33
I think he's either working on the Jeep
27:36
or at work or beating
27:39
the hell out of the Jeep
27:40
off-road.
27:41
Well, yeah, Reaney has to
27:42
drive this to work every day.
27:43
That's why he takes it so easy out there
27:45
and kind of drives like a girl.
27:48
[Laughter]
27:48
So, yeah.
27:50
That's his excuse, I guess.
27:52
We plan to show up some folks this
27:54
weekend, though, get some
27:55
little wranglers behind us
27:57
so they can see what
27:58
these ex-jets can do.
27:59
I've already had two people tell me they
28:00
don't like ex-jets
28:01
because we can't do what
28:02
a wrangler can do.
28:04
Really?
28:05
Yeah.
28:05
Which is like get up and over obstacles
28:08
because of the longer wheelbase.
28:10
Right.
28:11
A Cherokee with a wheelbase does better
28:13
over those, you know,
28:15
sharp climbs and everything,
28:16
but to me, these people
28:17
are brainwashed, I guess.
28:19
But we'll show them.
28:20
It's no big deal.
28:22
I guess if the four-door Wrangler, the
28:26
JK, I guess if it had a
28:28
similar powered engine
28:31
because I hear those things are very
28:32
anemic, then they probably
28:34
would have the best chance
28:36
with doing all the same
28:38
things that an ex-jets can do.
28:40
But those things are a lot
28:41
more expensive than an ex-jets.
28:43
Well, they have the longer wheelbase, and
28:44
I think that's where
28:45
one of the advantages
28:47
for the ex-jets is.
28:48
Certainly the 4.0 liter engine and its
28:52
horsepower and torque.
28:54
Yeah.
28:55
Well, if I flipped over a
28:56
JK, I might get a little upset.
28:58
But if I flipped over a Max-J, I'd be
28:59
super happy that I get to put my Ks in.
29:01
So I prefer to keep the XJ.
29:04
Yeah.
29:05
It's, I mean, there's some really pretty
29:08
four-wheel drives out
29:09
there, and certainly
29:10
the Wranglers, the new
29:11
Wranglers are very pretty.
29:13
But, you know, it's just like that
29:16
Toyota, what was that Toyota, the FJ?
29:19
I don't keep up with those things.
29:21
That one, I don't know if you were out
29:22
there where they were
29:23
wheeling it and just
29:24
ripped down the side
29:25
of it with something.
29:26
Oh, yeah.
29:27
$40,000 Toyota.
29:28
I was very impressed with that guy.
29:30
Very impressed with him.
29:32
He definitely wheeled the
29:33
hell out of that $40,000 truck.
29:35
That's just, I mean, I guess it all
29:36
depends on how much
29:37
money you get in your wallet
29:38
or how stupid you are.
29:39
Yeah.
29:39
I mean, I'm not calling him stupid.
29:41
I just, I just, I'd have a hard time.
29:44
You can call me stupid because when I get
29:46
behind the wheel of my XJ, I am stupid.
29:48
You know, I've never seen you do anything
29:49
other than just go
29:51
down the trail like the
29:52
rest of us.
29:52
Of course, I've only, I've only with you,
29:55
was it once or twice?
29:57
Twice.
29:58
Okay.
29:58
So you were out there both times?
30:00
Yeah.
30:01
That's right.
30:02
Well.
30:03
I've been out there three times, twice,
30:06
where it was a group of us, and only once
30:08
where it was just me and Reani.
30:11
Yeah.
30:11
I made that video out there, that long,
30:13
one of Creekside and
30:14
all that, that they never
30:15
used for their website,
30:16
which is stupid, but yeah.
30:18
Oh, well.
30:19
Yeah.
30:19
That's, I mean, I did it
30:20
for me, not for them, so.
30:22
Yeah.
30:23
Well, I guess someone else can call in
30:25
and watch home, so I
30:26
don't want to pick the
30:27
homies for them.
30:28
Excellent timing, Jim.
30:29
Thanks a lot for calling in, and make
30:31
sure you take some pictures out there.
30:33
I always do.
30:34
Just to satisfy Wayne.
30:36
Yeah, and watch out for
30:37
the tree limbs this time.
30:39
F***ing the tree limbs.
30:40
They better watch out for me.
30:41
Yeah, but it costs a
30:42
sticker every time you do it.
30:45
I know that's why I started buying my own
30:46
from my local source.
30:48
Well, we're going to have.
30:48
I have plenty on standby.
30:50
Oh, okay, good.
30:50
I was just going to say, because I'm
30:52
going to be picking some of those up.
30:54
If all goes well,
30:55
probably not this Saturday.
30:57
I'm going over there Saturday just to
30:59
have a look around and
31:00
let them do me a sample
31:02
so I can see how the quality is, and then
31:04
probably the
31:05
following Saturday we'll have
31:06
some in stock.
31:07
So if you guys are interested in XJ Talk
31:08
Stickers, just on the
31:11
site at the top, you
31:12
can go to the link and order you one.
31:16
Jim, I'll let you run and talk to your
31:17
wife, and thanks a lot for calling.
31:19
We'll look at you on the show.
31:21
No problem.
31:22
See ya.
31:24
Okay, guys.
31:25
Lines open.
31:26
530-675-4102.
31:30
If we had a switchboard, we could queue
31:32
you guys up, and I
31:33
could just go bam, bam, bam,
31:35
bam.
31:35
You know, I actually looked at that.
31:36
There's so many free services on the
31:39
Internet, and there's
31:40
even a lot of things that you
31:43
– you know, you just really wouldn't
31:45
think that telephone
31:46
lines and stuff like that you
31:48
would think would be expensive.
31:49
But they have switchboards
31:52
and things that you can get.
31:53
It all seems to be more business-oriented
31:55
than a free service,
31:57
even like this Ustream
31:59
thing that would be wildly expensive to
32:02
try to do something
32:03
like this on your own.
32:04
Free service.
32:05
So, I can just sit here and broadcast and
32:08
pretty much anything as long as it's not
32:10
copyrighted material.
32:12
So anyway, if you want to be on the show,
32:13
please give me a call.
32:14
Let me know what's going on.
32:15
We'll talk about whatever you want to
32:17
talk about within reason, of course.
32:21
530-675-4102.
32:25
XJtalk.com.
32:28
It's where you go
32:28
when you're not off-road.
32:30
Hey, how would you like to
32:31
advertise on XJtalk Talk Show?
32:33
And reach a worldwide Jeep audience?
32:36
Just send an email to advertise at
32:38
XJtalk.com for more information.
32:42
I just wanted to say XJtalk is the best
32:45
f***ing tight in the f***ing world.
32:47
And if you think you know a better
32:49
f***ing tight, f*** you.
32:51
By the way, this is Big Jim 350.
32:54
Bye.
32:54
Aww.
32:55
Aww.
32:57
Of course you should call Dalton.
33:02
And for any of you guys, if you don't
33:04
have unlimited calling,
33:06
just put your number in
33:07
chat.
33:07
I'll call you because I have a call
33:10
anywhere in the United
33:11
States for the same price I
33:12
pay for everything else.
33:14
I think everybody, most everybody these
33:16
days has either unlimited
33:18
long distance, you know,
33:20
for either on your cell
33:22
phone or on your home phone.
33:26
Anyway, we got a call
33:27
early to see who we got.
33:29
Hey, thanks for calling.
33:30
Who we got?
33:32
This is Bear, 4x4 Dalton.
33:34
Hey Bear, how's it going?
33:36
Going pretty good.
33:37
So what's going on with that Jeep?
33:40
Just waiting on it to warm up.
33:42
Oh yeah, you know, I'm
33:43
forgetting about that.
33:44
We're looking at 90 degree temperatures.
33:47
What do they say, by the weekend or
33:50
Monday or Tuesday next week?
33:51
So I'm forgetting that it's still cold in
33:53
some parts of the country.
33:55
Yeah, they're calling for a chance of
33:57
snow up here Saturday.
33:59
So what kind of temperatures are you
34:01
looking at daily now?
34:01
Is it still really cold or is it just
34:04
around freezing 40, 50 degrees?
34:06
The high 30s, low 40s.
34:08
Yeah, that would be a
34:10
little rough to work in.
34:12
Oh yeah, plus a glow
34:13
shop to work in and also...
34:15
Yeah, I figured you were working outside
34:17
because a shop, you can get warm.
34:20
One way or another you can get it warm.
34:23
Yeah, as soon as Terrell gets a couple
34:27
more things for his
34:27
welder, I'll go down there
34:29
and he's going to help me put it on.
34:32
It should be in a couple of weeks.
34:35
I'm sorry, I'm trying to keep up.
34:37
You have not lifted it yet, right?
34:40
No.
34:40
So have you looked at the
34:43
bolts on the belief springs?
34:47
Because that usually is the
34:48
thing that bites everybody.
34:50
Well, I was doing the
34:53
junkyard version of the lift.
34:54
I'm going to do a S10 back.
34:58
Yeah, but I mean you still
34:58
have to get the old ones off.
35:01
Not the main leaf, no.
35:03
Oh, okay.
35:04
So you're going to add to the existing?
35:07
Yeah.
35:08
Oh, I didn't understand that.
35:09
When I hear back, I figured it's just a
35:12
mixture of leaf springs
35:14
and you have to replace it
35:15
like you would a whole pack.
35:17
Okay.
35:17
Well, that should be harder and easier.
35:21
Yeah, you just leave the main XJ leaf on
35:24
there and just add under it.
35:26
Okay.
35:28
You know that add a leaf, because
35:30
whenever I got my 4.5
35:31
inch Rough Country kit, I did
35:34
not go for a kit with leaf springs
35:37
because it was a couple, $200, $300 more.
35:40
And I just couldn't afford that and the
35:42
wheels and tires at the time, same time.
35:44
So I got the add a leaf knowing I was
35:47
going to go to full leaves later.
35:49
But you know the thing I didn't like
35:50
about those add a
35:51
leaves, other than they did not
35:52
give me as much lift as the 4.5 inch
35:56
springs gave me, they squeak.
36:02
I'm leaving.
36:03
Man, I just couldn't.
36:04
I mean, especially when it got cold, they
36:07
would squeak and I
36:08
would hose them down with
36:10
some silicon lubricant spray and it would
36:14
be okay for a little while and they would
36:15
start squeaking again.
36:16
And you know, not horribly, but you know
36:18
when you're going down
36:19
the road, you like to have
36:20
something that
36:20
doesn't sound like a wagon.
36:24
Yeah.
36:25
So I don't know if there's some research
36:28
that you might want to do.
36:30
I don't know for sure that you'll have
36:32
the same problem, but I'm
36:33
assuming that any metals
36:35
you're putting together that aren't
36:38
affixed that way in some
36:40
machine that really holds
36:43
them together tight or whatever stuff
36:46
they put in between them
36:47
to keep them from squeaking,
36:49
that maybe there's some research you can
36:51
do to bypass that issue.
36:53
I mean, we did what was in the
36:54
instructions when we put the
36:57
add a leaf on there, but it
36:58
still squeaked.
36:59
So I don't know.
37:00
Yeah, the past couple of weekends I've
37:01
wanted to put my lift on,
37:03
but last week I threw my
37:05
back out, so it kind
37:06
of put a damper on that.
37:08
And then plus we got sleep Friday night
37:10
and snow Saturday morning.
37:12
So yeah, I just haven't been keeping up
37:16
with the weather other
37:17
than it's been warm and
37:20
I've been driving back and forth to work
37:22
with all the windows down in the Jeep.
37:23
It's been kind of nice.
37:25
It was a little chilly
37:25
yesterday, but it gets a little warm.
37:31
I'm not running the air conditioner.
37:33
I get a little better gas mileage with
37:35
the air conditioner off.
37:37
What kind of gas prices
37:38
do you guys have up there?
37:41
Believe it or not, I was talking to Renny
37:44
last week and y'all's
37:46
gas prices I believe
37:48
are right at the exact same as ours.
37:50
Like 335, something like that.
37:52
Yeah, I think that's what mine, I filled
37:54
it up today and I think I paid 335.
37:57
So it's, you know, it's damn
37:58
high, but at least it's not $4.
38:01
Yeah.
38:02
But yeah, as soon as I get that on,
38:05
hopefully Jim and Wayne
38:06
will quit picking on me about
38:08
that and find something else.
38:10
I was going to say, you know they're
38:11
going to find something else.
38:13
Oh, of course.
38:14
It wouldn't be them two if they didn't.
38:17
So what else is all in fun?
38:19
So how's the back?
38:20
Is that, is that healed up
38:21
or at least healed up better?
38:23
Well enough for you to go back to work.
38:25
Yeah, I went back to work Monday.
38:27
It's, I had a surgery probably, I guess
38:31
about five years ago, I
38:33
blew out two of the vertebrae
38:35
and a small on my back.
38:36
They had to remove 65% of one
38:39
and 45% of the one below it.
38:41
My goodness.
38:43
I was supposed to have been
38:44
out of work for six months.
38:46
I was back to work in a
38:48
little over six weeks.
38:50
Mm-hmm.
38:51
Mm-hmm.
38:52
Hopefully that didn't
38:53
do more damage than good.
38:55
It's just, it comes and goes, especially
38:57
during bad weather times.
38:58
I'll get the old twinge in the back, but
39:02
just this past time I went to go to work.
39:05
I went to step up in a jeep
39:06
and my back wouldn't let me.
39:09
Man, the back
39:10
problems are the worst thing.
39:12
Well, they're really bad.
39:13
I won't say the worst thing in the world.
39:15
Wayne would probably have given you a
39:17
pretty good argument
39:17
with what they've been going
39:18
through.
39:19
But boy, there's back
39:21
pain will just knock you out.
39:22
I've been pretty lucky.
39:25
I've never had any
39:26
real issues with my back.
39:29
I've had, I don't know, pulled muscle or
39:31
something where I just had
39:32
to lay on the floor to let
39:35
it relax.
39:37
And that went on for a couple of days.
39:39
And from what I understand, it was only a
39:42
minor back irritation.
39:45
Nothing compared to
39:47
some serious back issues.
39:49
But when those ruptured, they were
39:52
hitting my side of the
39:53
nerve, which caused my left
39:55
leg to go numb.
39:56
My goodness.
39:58
If it was the right leg, you could have
39:59
won a f***ing contest.
40:02
I guess you could learn
40:05
how to kick with a left.
40:06
Maybe you're left-footed.
40:07
I don't know.
40:08
No, I'm not Wayne.
40:10
I don't drive on the
40:10
wrong side of the jeep.
40:14
Yep.
40:14
Yep.
40:15
Let's see.
40:16
Oh, God.
40:16
That reminded me there was somebody that
40:19
got on XJTalk, a new
40:22
member on XJTalk, from another
40:23
country.
40:24
And I was surprised to see that the
40:27
steering wheel was on the
40:28
proper side of the jeep.
40:30
And I cannot remember
40:32
what country they were in.
40:33
I want to say Germany,
40:34
but I can't remember.
40:37
I know it was in England because they got
40:39
it on the wrong side as well.
40:41
Oh, that's right.
40:42
It was.
40:43
Thank you, Wayne.
40:43
It was Russia.
40:45
There was a guy in Russia that got on and
40:47
had, I think it was a
40:48
black jeep, and they
40:49
had the steering wheel on the same side.
40:53
And I think they did that.
40:54
Okay, that's the member that just joined
40:57
the law last week, wasn't it?
40:58
Was it last week?
41:00
I can't remember.
41:01
It was very soon.
41:02
I mean, it wasn't very long ago.
41:04
Anyway, and I suspect that the Russians
41:07
did that because they
41:09
thought they were going
41:10
to take over the United States.
41:12
And it just made sense for them to use
41:14
their vehicles with the
41:15
steering wheel on the same
41:16
side since they were going
41:17
to be driving on our streets.
41:21
And we showed them.
41:22
Was it red?
41:23
I thought it was, I
41:23
didn't think it was red.
41:24
I thought it was black.
41:26
It was black.
41:27
Yeah, Wayne says it was red.
41:30
They were reds.
41:32
The Russians, I mean.
41:34
Well, what do you expect?
41:35
Wayne has a dorkle.
41:38
What is a dorkle?
41:40
Brian called his dorkle a dorkle one
41:43
night and it just kind of stuck.
41:46
Yeah, I was thinking snorkle, but I'd
41:49
seen that dorkle going
41:50
around the chat room and
41:51
I wasn't quite sure
41:52
what was going on there.
41:53
I wasn't quite sure I wanted to know.
41:57
All right, Bear, I'm
41:57
going to let you run.
41:58
I'm going to see if there's anybody else
41:59
that wants to call and
42:01
then we'll probably get
42:02
to the contest.
42:04
I'm surprised you didn't risk $2.
42:08
Yeah, with everything
42:10
that's going on around here.
42:12
Yeah, it would be something else that
42:13
you'd have to make time
42:14
to put on the Jeep, right?
42:16
Yeah.
42:17
Well, the nice thing is, detours will
42:22
still be selling those.
42:23
So all you guys that don't win tonight
42:25
that did enter, you'll
42:27
still be able to get a very
42:28
nice set for Mark there at detours.
42:31
And you know, boy, he does great work.
42:33
You'll love those things.
42:35
I can see from the pictures, of course, I
42:37
look at my bumpers
42:37
and I know what kind of
42:38
work he does, so I can tell you with
42:40
confidence that those will
42:41
be very nice little units.
42:43
Yeah.
42:44
All right, Bear, thanks a lot and I'll
42:46
catch you in the chat room.
42:47
Okay.
42:48
Have a good night.
42:49
You too.
42:50
Bye-bye.
42:51
Okay, we got time for
42:52
at least one more call.
42:54
If you want to give me a call, you can
42:56
call me at 530-675-4102.
43:01
If you can't do the long distance thing
43:04
for free, just put your
43:06
number in the chat room
43:07
and I'll call you
43:09
because it's free for me.
43:12
And I'm really surprised Wayne hasn't put
43:14
in his phone number
43:15
because you know how clever
43:16
he is about those things.
43:18
It would be long
43:18
distance to New Zealand Wayne.
43:25
900, Wayne says, 0900 spank me.
43:30
I don't think you need
43:31
any more spank and Wayne.
43:34
So I think everybody knows, but the
43:38
contest was for a brand
43:41
new product that Detours has
43:43
come out with.
43:44
It's not a new product from the
43:45
standpoint that Detours is
43:47
the first company that's made
43:49
these things, but it's a
43:52
new product from Detours.
43:54
It's the A-pillar light mounts and they
43:58
are much like the ones
44:00
that you see on Wranglers
44:01
on the A-pillar.
44:02
The A-pillar is the little piece of metal
44:05
that borders the sides of the windshield.
44:09
And what you can do with these things is
44:11
you can put the
44:13
spotlights, you know, kind of
44:15
eye level so that you can, you know, it's
44:18
not right up on the
44:19
roof where they can get
44:21
from limbs and things that you are, or
44:23
parking garages even.
44:25
But they are higher than the headlights
44:27
and higher than lights
44:28
that would be on a push
44:30
bar or a custom
44:32
bumper like I have online.
44:34
So that little bit of an angle often
44:37
gives you a better idea
44:40
of how far away objects
44:41
are because of the shadows they cast.
44:44
At least that's what I was told about
44:47
lights that are up on the roof.
44:49
But one of the benefits of having up
44:50
high, it gives you a
44:52
better depth perception at
44:54
night.
44:55
So again, if you want to call in, got
44:58
some time, the number is 530-675-4102.
45:06
Or you can call me on Skype at, not at,
45:10
but you can call me on Skype.
45:11
The username is xjtalk.com.
45:14
You know, Skype is a
45:16
real good thing to talk on.
45:19
The audio quality is quite nice.
45:21
And if you're doing a little talky show
45:23
like this, it makes
45:24
things sound a lot nicer.
45:27
Especially if you're editing the audio,
45:28
you can, like I do after
45:30
every show, you can really
45:31
tell the difference in quality between
45:35
the good old landline and Skype.
45:39
Technology.
45:41
Technology is great.
45:42
Except point of disn't.
45:44
You can quote me on that.
45:45
Well, I think I want to take a quick
45:47
break here and gather
45:49
up my assistant and we'll
45:51
get this contest, get a name picked and
45:54
see who's going to win.
45:56
And you know, you know, you know it's
46:00
going to be the person
46:02
that only got one injury
46:04
and you know they're not
46:07
going to be here on the show.
46:09
So that's my prediction.
46:11
We'll see how that plays out.
46:48
You know, that song kind of has a little
47:03
Seinfeld thing going on with it.
47:05
So we're going to go ahead and do the
47:07
drawing here and see who's going to win.
47:11
So we got Mandy in
47:13
here, my youngest daughter.
47:15
The one was off the little school thing
47:18
the other day that I was
47:19
telling you guys about.
47:21
She's going to help me by pulling some
47:22
names out of the hat.
47:23
Let's see, here's the hat.
47:25
They're the names.
47:27
And so you know,
47:29
they're not sticking together.
47:30
I didn't want anybody
47:31
not to have an opportunity.
47:33
So Mandy, what I need you to
47:34
do is don't look at the names.
47:37
Just reach in.
47:38
Dig around, you know, middle around and
47:41
then find the right one.
47:43
Just one.
47:44
Okay.
47:44
Let me just come over here and read the
47:46
name, not the email address.
47:48
Patrick Patterson.
47:49
Patrick Patterson.
47:51
That's it.
47:52
Thank you very much.
47:54
So we have a local winner.
47:58
Patrick Patterson.
47:59
That is Patrick, right?
48:02
That's the local Patrick PC, is it PCRG?
48:06
Raney, you still there?
48:08
Patrick?
48:12
Okay.
48:13
Nobody's going to help me out here, so
48:15
I'll just look him up.
48:17
I'll be really
48:18
surprised if Patrick got it.
48:21
You know, what you guys don't know is,
48:24
and I believe this, I
48:25
think there was only one
48:25
person named Patrick that entered the
48:27
contest, and that's the
48:30
local guy here, a young guy
48:33
with a Jeep.
48:35
He recently did the lift on it, and I
48:38
think he was talking
48:39
today about how his toe-in
48:41
on his alignment was like
48:43
an inch and a quarter off.
48:47
That's a lot.
48:48
That's a tire squealer, I think.
48:50
So let me just go over here to the site
48:55
and log on as admin, and
48:57
I will put in this email
48:59
address and we'll see
49:00
what the member name is.
49:02
I didn't have a lot of time to print up
49:05
all these letters, I
49:06
mean, print off all these
49:07
little pieces of paper
49:08
and get them in the hat.
49:10
Here's Raney calling us on Skype.
49:15
Hey, Raney.
49:16
Are you there, Raney?
49:18
Yeah, Johnny, can you hear me?
49:19
Yeah, I can hear you.
49:20
Yeah, no, Patrick here, local, is Patrick
49:22
Crawford, so I don't know who that is.
49:24
Oh, that's right.
49:25
His name is Crawford.
49:27
That's right.
49:27
So that's a long one, because I always
49:28
mess with him about
49:29
asking him if he's related
49:30
to Cindy.
49:32
So, let's see.
49:33
Well, this is good.
49:35
Good and not good for
49:36
Patrick Crawford, of course.
49:41
But good in the interest, my interest
49:44
anyway, because I was
49:45
like, I thought this was local
49:46
Patrick.
49:47
Let's see who Patrick is.
49:49
I didn't know we had two Patricks on.
49:52
Well, I go around here.
49:54
Oh my God.
49:56
Is that that little bug?
49:57
That'll be the little dog.
50:00
No, that's actually, we got a new dog.
50:03
I don't know what the hell he is.
50:03
Part German Shepherd, part, no.
50:06
Oh, he must be a puppy.
50:07
Yeah, he is.
50:08
He's tiny.
50:09
I mean, he's not tiny.
50:10
He's about half the size of my chocolate
50:12
lab, but he's over here
50:14
yelping at the Chihuahua.
50:17
That poor Chihuahua.
50:19
I bet you it's these huge dogs that are
50:21
just driving at night.
50:23
No, actually, he takes up
50:24
for himself pretty good.
50:26
He's kind of a...
50:27
Other than that, he's a good little dog.
50:31
Yeah, bite me, Wayne.
50:34
No, it's Patrick, man.
50:36
I don't know where the name Patrick
50:37
Patterson came from.
50:40
I mean, that's the
50:41
name I got from PayPal.
50:44
But that's...
50:45
Patrick Patterson.
50:48
That's a mystery now.
50:50
We'll have to find out.
50:51
And I bet you that's
50:52
an interesting story.
50:53
You think maybe that's his stage name?
50:55
What kind of work does he do?
50:57
Zwaiter.
51:01
I know for a fact
51:02
Patrick's last name is Crawford.
51:03
Yeah, I mean, it says right here where he
51:06
registered on xjtalk.com,
51:08
username, PRC Jeep, email, Pat Crawford,
51:13
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
51:14
And it is the right email address.
51:19
I wasn't reading since
51:21
I'm sitting here talking.
51:22
It's difficult enough for me to talk,
51:23
much less talk and read.
51:25
But the email address is Pat Crawford,
51:29
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
51:30
I'm not going to say it
51:31
so people don't email him.
51:33
Probably trying to buy the
51:34
A-pillar mounts from him.
51:36
But yeah, I mean, it's a
51:39
PCR Jeep local guy in green.
51:43
I don't know where the...
51:44
In green Jeep owner.
51:46
Well, I don't know why
51:46
the hell he's not here.
51:47
Well, maybe he's working.
51:48
I was going to say he should be here.
51:49
We could just ask him.
51:50
Yeah, witness protection program.
51:52
That's right, Madelike.
51:55
[Laughter]
51:58
Actually, I have him on my text.
52:03
I wonder if I can get
52:06
him to respond while we...
52:08
In the last few minutes of the show here.
52:10
Let me just see if I can't
52:12
get him real quick and say,
52:13
"What the hell is the deal
52:15
with the last name, Patterson?"
52:17
I'll do the same.
52:18
See if he responds to either one of us.
52:21
So, guys, if you are just getting in here
52:23
now or we weren't clear before,
52:26
we pulled the name from the
52:28
hat and it's Patrick Patterson.
52:31
And we're a bit confused by that because
52:33
we all know Patrick is Pat Crawford.
52:38
[Laughter]
52:38
So we're going to try to find out what
52:42
the mystery there is.
52:43
It may well indeed be the
52:47
witness protection program.
52:49
Hopefully, Patrick will be able to stay
52:50
long enough to get his A-pillars
52:52
before he has to relocate.
52:53
[Laughter]
52:55
Yeah, no kidding.
52:56
Okay, here's what I just texted him.
52:59
I said, "Why is your name Patterson?
53:02
You won, by the way."
53:03
[Laughter]
53:06
He'll be happy and sad.
53:08
Yup.
53:10
[Laughter]
53:11
So as you're getting back to Jeeps,
53:14
is your Jeep ready to
53:16
go for this weekend?
53:18
Oh, yeah, yeah.
53:19
Running on all cylinders and
53:20
all repairs have been holding?
53:23
I think the only thing I
53:24
need to really kind of do is,
53:25
what I've needed to do for a while is
53:27
finish welding up my front axle
53:29
where I bent the upper
53:30
control arm bracket so bad.
53:32
I need to brace it, but I've
53:33
never got around to it yet.
53:36
You know, when you pick a name like that,
53:38
you never know who it's going to be.
53:39
I think this is really interesting.
53:41
Oh, that's the thing I
53:42
was going to talk about.
53:43
Patrick actually, last night after
53:46
midnight, after the contest was over,
53:48
he tried to submit
53:50
seven additional entries.
53:52
And one of our PM'd him
53:54
and said, "Hey, sorry, guy,
53:56
I had to refund you all those entries."
54:00
Because it was after
54:01
midnight Central Time.
54:02
He goes, "Oh, I thought you were going by
54:03
midnight California time."
54:07
[Laughter]
54:07
Seven entries, $14 worth
54:10
of entries I had to return.
54:12
I think he had three.
54:14
I updated the totals because I had gone
54:16
through and double-checked
54:18
and triple-checked because I wanted to
54:19
make sure everybody's
54:20
name was included in the hat.
54:23
And we actually had 40 entries, not 38 as
54:27
I had put on previously.
54:29
So I updated that and updated the counts.
54:33
So the counts that you see on the post
54:36
were the entries that everybody put in.
54:39
I think Patrick had three total.
54:44
So, you know, you never know.
54:46
I really thought it was going to be
54:47
somebody that just did the one entry.
54:49
And I kind of had suspicion that it was
54:52
going to be one of the free ones,
54:53
one of the free entries.
54:54
Of course, you don't
54:55
know with Weldman and Stefan
54:59
because they did six
55:02
and seven entries each.
55:03
So, guys, I really
55:05
appreciate everybody that played.
55:07
And thank you very much.
55:08
And we're going to be doing
55:10
more contests in the future.
55:11
I think this one was a success.
55:13
And a success means I
55:14
didn't have to pay for the part.
55:16
And I'm not trying to
55:17
make any money off of it.
55:18
I'm just trying to break even.
55:21
[Laughter]
55:21
So, generates a little interest, gets
55:23
more people on the site,
55:24
gets more people posting,
55:26
you know, grow more
55:28
information, more fun.
55:30
So, thank you very
55:31
much for participating.
55:34
Yeah, one, the P-E-I-X-J, he said, "What
55:37
about a second and third prize?"
55:39
That would be, this would be a good time
55:41
to have like the t-shirts
55:42
and maybe a ball cap or something for
55:44
second and third, you know?
55:46
Yeah, I thought about, you know, some
55:48
other, some additional prizes.
55:50
And I wish we had the
55:52
stickers to give away.
55:55
But we, this is really something that
55:58
we're trying to get geared up to do.
56:00
And it's a money thing.
56:02
And, you know, if you guys would like to
56:04
help out, you can do donations
56:06
or you can become a site subscriber.
56:09
And the site subscriptions
56:11
really make a big difference.
56:13
And I really appreciate the six
56:15
subscribers that we do have,
56:17
because it, that took the edge off of
56:20
having the decision
56:21
of doing this contest.
56:22
Because after about three or four months
56:24
of the subscriber income,
56:26
I could have paid for these parts too.
56:28
I just don't have enough money personally
56:30
to fund these things.
56:32
So if you guys want to help support the
56:34
site and we can do more of these things,
56:37
you know, go to the
56:39
homepage of xjtalk.com.
56:42
You'll see where you
56:43
can subscribe to the site.
56:45
It's a monthly $2.50, $5 or $10 a month.
56:51
I put the 10 on there because, you know,
56:52
somebody's going to want to do 10.
56:55
It would be hard for me to spend $10 a
56:57
month for a Jeep site.
56:59
But if you want to do that, that's fine.
57:01
I mean, I think the $2.50 would be great.
57:03
It's a free site.
57:04
So don't feel like you have to, but if
57:06
you'd like to help out
57:07
and help support the site,
57:09
and, you know, just like the PBS people
57:11
say, help us bring more
57:15
of these programs to you.
57:17
So I'd love to be able to do it myself,
57:20
but the lottery just hadn't
57:22
been working out for me yet.
57:23
So if you ever get there, we
57:25
won't have to worry about it.
57:26
We'll have all kinds of great prizes.
57:29
But like Jeff Foxworthy says, us rednecks
57:31
have a lottery where the
57:34
rich people have retirement.
57:36
That's right.
57:38
Redneck lottery, redneck retirement.
57:42
Yep.
57:44
Well, it's 9 o'clock, guys.
57:47
It's been an hour.
57:48
We did the contest.
57:50
So I'm going to start
57:52
wrapping this thing up.
57:54
And, Reani, anything you want to add
57:56
before we get off here
57:57
in the next few minutes?
57:59
Hey, y'all.
58:00
And I guess we'll see
58:01
y'all over on the website.
58:03
Yeah, I hope so.
58:04
If you're not a member of XJTalk.com,
58:07
please think about joining.
58:08
If you are a member, like I was just
58:10
begging a few seconds ago, think about
58:12
subscribing or being a donor.
58:14
And if you don't want to do
58:15
those things, post something.
58:17
Especially when you do something to your
58:19
Jeep, take a picture.
58:21
Put it up on the site.
58:22
We like seeing pictures.
58:23
We like seeing any
58:25
modifications, even the stock stuff.
58:27
You know, you have
58:29
a--you're doing a spark plug change.
58:32
Do a write-up about it.
58:33
You'd be surprised how many people out
58:35
there don't do their own tune-ups.
58:37
And just that little bit of information
58:39
would really mean a big thing to them.
58:43
And don't forget, guys, not having a
58:45
camera is no excuse anymore.
58:47
They don't make a cell phone
58:49
without a camera any longer.
58:50
That's right.
58:51
You may not know how to
58:51
work it, but it's there.
58:59
Yeah, don't know.
58:59
I want to bet they don't make a cell
59:01
phone without a camera.
59:03
Actually, I think in secure--there are
59:05
certain secure areas of Blackberry.
59:08
Blackberry makes a cell phone without a
59:10
camera, and they make
59:11
it for the government.
59:13
Yeah, you're right.
59:14
I think you're right, but I don't think
59:15
we can get that, Cameron.
59:18
You probably can, but it
59:20
probably costs twice as much.
59:21
That's one of those funny things.
59:23
Whenever there's a lot of electronics and
59:25
they can rubber stamp those things,
59:26
then when you want something
59:27
different, it's like my XJ.
59:28
I wanted my XJ with a
59:29
standard transmission.
59:31
I guess I'm lucky that it was--I got the
59:33
automatic even though
59:34
I wanted a standard,
59:34
but damn it, I thought a four-wheel drive
59:37
should be a standard.
59:40
I think it'd still be fun
59:41
to have a standard, though.
59:43
All that sitting and
59:43
traffic, I wouldn't like it.
59:49
All right, Renee, thanks for calling in,
59:50
and we'll catch you on the site
59:52
and back on the show probably next week.
59:56
All right, guys.
59:57
Y'all have a good one in the night, and
59:59
y'all make sure you
1:00:00
tune in over to the site.
1:00:02
That's right, xjtalk.com.
1:00:06
So, Patrick, PCR Jeep is our winner of
1:00:11
the detourusa.com A-Piller White Mouths.
1:00:16
So, that's pretty good
1:00:18
because Patrick is here close.
1:00:21
We should be able to get
1:00:22
some pictures of that from him.
1:00:25
Guys, we'll see you on the site.
1:00:27
