2:56
That's Ironman4x4fab.com
3:01
XJTalk.com
3:04
It's where you go
3:05
when you're not off-road
3:06
Did you know that
3:07

3:09
Just go to Facebook.com
3:11
slash XJTalk and friend us
3:13
We're also on Twitter,
3:15
Twitter.com slash XJTalk
3:18
Well we're already getting a call so I'm
3:19
going to take this call real quick
3:21
And see what's up
3:24
Hey thanks for calling the
3:26
XJTalk.com show, who we got?
3:29
Wow it's Tony, hey Tony it's Scott
3:31
Hey man don't forget to
3:32
turn down your computer
3:34
Otherwise it will drive
3:34
you nuts with the Echo
3:37
Oh yeah I'm bad
3:39
Oh I have to remember
3:41
From all of my past years on radio talk
3:43
shows I still don't remember
3:45
So hey what's going
3:48
on in the XJTalk world?
3:49
I've been out for about three weeks
3:51
Well you haven't been
3:52
out of the XJTalk world
3:53
I mean you've still had an XJ right?
3:56
Yes, yes but I've been offline
3:58
Well I figured you'd been
4:00
watching what was going on
4:01
Oh but actually that's because we have
4:05
restricted the number of
4:07
views that guests can do now
4:10
And anybody that is curious about that
4:12
I think we all have, all
4:14
we have here is members
4:15
Well we've got three guests
4:16
so I'll mention this anyway
4:18
We've actually restricted the number of
4:20
posts that guests, people
4:23
that aren't members can view
4:25
And that's not because we're a**hole
4:27
We're getting a lot of places from China
4:31
and Russia and stuff spamming the site
4:34
So in an attempt to curb that and make it
4:37
easier for the members to get the
4:40
computer time and the
4:41
disk time and everything else
4:43
We tried to curtail the number of views
4:47
that a guest could do
4:48
So we're getting a lot
4:50
more registrations now
4:52
I guess people are taking it in the way
4:54
it was intended not to be
4:56
jerks but try to help the members
4:59
Right, right, right
5:01
So I think you were working on a Dana 60
5:04
installation on your
5:05
XJ, how's that coming?
5:07
I hit a big roadblock the other day
5:13
I opted for a year 2000 F250 front axle
5:17
And a lot of people were saying it's not
5:19
that great of an axle, yeah
5:20
it's got the Dana 60 strength
5:23
But I ran into the issue that the
5:24
differential was a little
5:25
too far to the driver's side
5:27
So I pretty much had to scrap the idea of
5:30
doing my coils and I'm
5:32
going to an air shock setup
5:34
Waiting on that
5:36
Not knowing anything about it, would a
5:38
leaf spring setup work better?
5:41
No, because the thing is going straight
5:43
down I don't have any
5:45
room for a bracket down there
5:48
I'm going to actually have to kind of
5:49
make my own lower control arm
5:51
brackets as well as chuck cabs
5:55
So there's really no
5:56
room for a whole coil bucket
5:57
So I'm guessing that that also means that
6:01
selling this Dana 60 and getting one that
6:04
would better fit your Jeep
6:06
would be cost prohibitive
6:08
Well, I'm not sure what that means but
6:12
It would cost more to do that than to
6:15
continue forward with what you're doing
6:17
Oh, well I really don't have much time
6:19
and energy into this front axle
6:21
All I've done is taken one bracket off of
6:22
it really and then just clean it up
6:25
The only issue is the correct axle
6:29
Few to far between
6:31
78-79, F250 and to find one of those is
6:36
just bang near impossible and I'm not
6:39
really down for that
6:41
I'd like to get this up and running by
6:43
the end of next month
6:46
There's a trip to the
6:48
Dempsey Rocks that I want to go to
6:51
Well, let me ask you this
6:52
I don't know about this from first hand
6:55
doing it but just watching Xtreme 4x4
6:59
I'm now an expert
7:01
I saw what they did on one of their axles
7:04
I don't know if it was a 60 or not
7:05
But what they did was they took the
7:08
I think they had to re-center the pumpkin
7:10
so it would fit their Toyota or whatever
7:11
it was they were putting it on
7:13
And the way they were able
7:14
to get away with that was
7:16
They were able to use
7:18
axles from a different similar
7:22
I mean it was like another Dana 60
7:24
But it was from a different year
7:26
So they were actually able
7:27
to take the stock of axles
7:30
Because one was
7:32
shorter than the original one
7:34
And you know what I'm saying
7:35
They were able to cut it down, move the
7:36
pumpkin over, weld it back
7:38
And then use the shorter axle
7:40
That way it got the pumpkin in line with
7:42
where they needed it
7:43
So I'm wondering if the axles for a 78-79
7:47
Dana 60 would fit that one
7:49
Which you'd have to cut the
7:51
tube and move the pumpkin over
7:53
Right, and I talked to one of my buddies
7:57
over here in Houston
7:58
at Hobbier's Crawl Shop
8:00
Or Gulf Coast Crawl Shop, it's also known
8:02
as Hobbier's Auto's Unlimited
8:06
I talked to him about it and he said
8:09
In order to get the best deal possible
8:12
Because I was looking to
8:13
get that Chevy lug nut pattern
8:15
And the correct size on the driver's side
8:19
to where I can actually put a spring
8:20
mount and everything
8:21
He said the best bet is you cannot find
8:23
that 78-79 Ford axle to get a Chevy axle
8:27
Now granted the only issue is the Chevy
8:29
axle is passenger side drop
8:32
They said what they can do is cut the
8:34
tubes, flip the sides, and
8:36
then cut the knuckles off
8:37
And put the knuckles
8:38
back on the correct side
8:40
And I said okay well that's all fun and
8:43
dandy but how much money are we talking?
8:47
Yeah but that's a grand at least
8:49
Yeah and it was right back up to the same
8:50
price as getting a kingpin out of a 78-79
8:53
You can find them, it's just a matter of
8:55
are you going to shell out $1200 bucks
8:57
Right
8:57
So that was not something I was willing
9:00
to dive into as well
9:02
Well I thought I might get lucky with
9:03
some of the stuff I've seen and read that
9:05
was nonspecific to what you were doing
9:08
Now this one, you said you were going to
9:11
use, instead of coils you
9:12
were going to use air shocks
9:14
Yeah Fox air shocks 2.0s
9:16
How would that work?
9:18
They're a nitrogen filled shock and they
9:22
suspend the weight of your vehicle kind
9:24
of like air and nitrogen pressure mix
9:27
Right
9:27
I'm not sure exactly
9:28
the science behind it
9:29
I mean it's just an air shock but it must
9:32
be a really heavy duty one to handle the
9:35
weight of the front end of the Jeep
9:36
Yeah it's actually rated to hold up to
9:39
500 psi inside the tube
9:41
Oh
9:43
Pretty high
9:44
Yeah I know the old shocks used to fail
9:45
occasionally, I guess if it fails out on
9:47
a trail that's not
9:48
going to be a good situation
9:50
Well the old shocks that failed were,
9:52
they were kind of like rubber bags
9:54
And this is not the same kind of thing
9:57
because I have the old school airbag, air
10:01
shocks on my Durango
10:02
just as a load leveler
10:04
And those were hard to find
10:06
Interesting
10:07
I didn't realize that
10:07
I kind of dissected them a little bit,
10:09
not took them apart but I looked them
10:11
over real good to see
10:12
how the design worked
10:13
And look at the design of the air shocks
10:15
and it's actually going
10:17
to be, it's pretty cool
10:19
They're pretty expensive,
10:20
they're like $215 a piece
10:21
And just selling some stuff to fund that
10:25
and hopefully we'll be able to get those
10:26
in the next week or so
10:28
And I actually got a good deal today on
10:30
some tires from my buddy
10:32
over there at Javier's as well
10:34
He's got a set of 37 inch crawler TAs,
10:38
they're used up pretty good
10:39
but if I'm just off-roading it
10:42
It'll last me another year or two
10:44
And he's selling to me for $100 a piece
10:46
Well it sounds like he got a plan, it'll
10:48
be interesting to see how it turns out
10:51
And certainly he's doing it different
10:54
than what I'm familiar
10:56
with so I like seeing that
10:58
I hope you don't have a lot of problems
10:59
with it because I know
11:00
how frustrating that can be
11:02
Well that's the thing with as many Google
11:04
things that are out there, there's an
11:05
answer to everything
11:07
And sometimes the answer
11:08
is don't do it that way
11:09
Sometimes the answer is you can do it
11:11
that way but it's going to cost
11:13
And the thing is I have
11:15
time more than money right now
11:17
So if it's a matter of waiting to find
11:20
something on eBay and it might come along
11:22
once every couple of months
11:24
I'm willing to do that
11:25
And with the network of people telling me
11:27
where to find parts and stuff
11:30
I'm actually able to get 5.13 gears for
11:32
this thing for $139 a piece
11:35
And they're brand new with
11:36
a warranty and everything
11:38
That's great, and is that something
11:40
you're going to try to set up yourself?
11:42
Yeah I actually did a lot of research on
11:44
setting up gears and I feel
11:46
pretty comfortable with it
11:48
I've got a buddy up in Dallas who he set
11:50
his ring opinion on his 8A
11:53
And he showed me how to do it for this
11:55
thing and I feel
11:55
pretty comfortable doing it
11:57
I've got all the right
11:58
tools to actually do it
11:59
Well it shouldn't be so bad
12:00
since it's not a daily driver
12:02
I was real nervous about
12:03
mine having the 456s put on
12:06
And I would like to
12:09
know how to do it myself
12:10
I'd actually thought
12:10
about getting another Dana 30
12:13
Or maybe just the
12:15
pumpkin and practicing with it
12:18
But I didn't like how it had the crush
12:20
bearing or crush sleeve
12:23
And you put it in there
12:24
and that crush sleeve is used
12:26
If you're going to take it out, put it
12:29
back in with the crush sleeve
12:31
I don't think they're really expensive
12:33
But still I just didn't like the idea of
12:35
every time you're doing something with it
12:38
You have to replace that part
12:40
Right, and the crush sleeve basically
12:42
kind of sets up the depth of how far your
12:46
opinion goes into the pumpkin
12:48
And I don't know exactly how many foot
12:51
pounds it actually requires
12:52
But I know this much what you do is you
12:54
torque it down pretty good
12:57
And then you put an inch pound torque
13:00
wrench on the yoke itself
13:03
And you try and turn the
13:05
yoke with the inch pound
13:07
And when your resistance hits 20 inch
13:10
pounds, that's when your preload is set
13:12
And then you can start
13:14
assembling the rest of the axle
13:16
Yeah, well then there's I think there's
13:19
shims that go in between there
13:21
And if you get that stuff wrong, then
13:26
your opinion depth isn't right
13:28
And the nice little yellow paint doesn't
13:30
look properly on the ring gear
13:32
Oh my god, I was just really surprised
13:35
The shims go on for the,
13:38
yeah there's some on the opinion
13:40
But they're mostly to do with the right
13:43
and left play on your ring gear
13:44
Right, actually I'm getting the Chrysler
13:46
8.25 and the Dana 30
13:50
I'm doing a mixture of both of them
13:52
because it's been a
13:53
while since it was done
13:55
But I stood there for the 12
13:56
hours while we were doing it
13:57
And the Dana 30 was the
13:59
most difficult one to set
14:01
The Chrysler 8.25 wasn't so bad with the
14:04
exception of the special
14:05
tool that you have to have
14:06
But at least that one, you adjust the,
14:10
you don't have shims on the side
14:11
It has like big bolts that you twist and
14:16
adjust to get the side
14:17
to side play properly
14:19
It was nice that you
14:21
don't have to use shims
14:22
But it was kind of sucky that you have to
14:23
have this special tool
14:24
Which we actually made from a long rod
14:28
and the right size nut
14:30
Well the nut was huge
14:31
Yeah, I don't doubt it
14:32
But it was pretty cool
14:33
But it was pretty cool getting it done
14:36
I don't know that I would feel
14:38
comfortable doing that on my daily driver
14:40
I think I would have to practice before
14:43
Right, right, yep
14:44
So what else is up
14:45
So what else is up
14:47
Since you're loving that house, having
14:49
actually been able to work in a driveway
14:50
instead of out in front of the apartment
14:52
complex with the neighbors
14:53
Oh yeah
14:54
You know, eyeballing you
14:55
Yeah, don't have to
14:56
worry about that anymore
14:57
Matter of fact, I got a neighbor across
14:58
the street and he kind of checks it out
15:00
every time I'm working on the Jeep
15:01
He's like, "Hey, what
15:02
are you doing today?"
15:03
And I made some off-road George last week
15:06
And he was, I was taking some
15:08
measurements on him to do
15:09
the back ones as well tonight
15:11
And he came over for a little bit
15:12
And kind of BSed around
15:14
for about 30-40 minutes
15:16
And I wrapped everything up and came
15:18
inside to take a shower and sat down for
15:20
the video or the show
15:21
Excellent, well I'm glad you showed up
15:23
Yeah, like I was saying when we started,
15:25
we only had about two people here
15:27
And I figured it was going
15:27
to be a lot of me talking
15:28
Which it normally is, but I would prefer
15:30
to have other people saying things that,
15:33
you know, that I find interesting
15:34
Like your Dana 60
15:37
build you've got going up
15:38
I've just been real interested in that
15:40
Yeah
15:40
I'm just really ready to
15:43
be done with this thing
15:45
It's never going to be done
15:48
No, the axle portion of it, I mean,
15:50
that's a big upgrade
15:53
Oh, yeah
15:53
When you buy them already built, it's
15:55
just the pain in the butt
15:57
I don't think I would ever do it again
16:01
the way I'm doing it
16:03
I would probably buy the kingpin and take
16:07
it to a shot and let them do it
16:09
It's just, it's a pain
16:11
So, but you're going to be doing
16:12
something with the rear axle, right?
16:14
As far as what?
16:15
What do you got in there
16:16
now? I thought you had a Dana 35
16:18
Oh, yeah, I've got a Dana
16:19
60's front and rear for it
16:20
Ah, okay, because I think I'd
16:22
only heard about the front one
16:23
And I assumed you just had one, I didn't
16:25
realize you had them both
16:27
No, the rear one is done, I think
16:31
Basically, it's drum brakes right now and
16:34
if I decide that I want to go
16:35
disc, which it probably will
16:37
That's the only thing I
16:38
have to do on it right now
16:40
Is it installed?
16:41
Drums are good with that
16:42
Is it installed?
16:43
No, I'm not going to install it until I
16:45
get all my gears and everything set
16:46
Okay
16:47
Basically, I'm not going to install it
16:48
until I can wheel it out of my garage
16:50
Yeah, that makes sense
16:51
And go full wheeling
16:52
Yeah, that makes sense
16:54
Well, I don't want to
16:55
take up everybody else's time
16:56
I'm sure we've got a few other guys that
16:59
want to probably give a call
17:00
I don't know if your
17:03
phone is ringing or not
17:04
I don't want to take
17:05
up anybody else's time
17:07
Nope, everything is nice and quiet
17:09
I sure appreciate you calling in
17:10
My fear is that you'll be the last caller
17:13
So I don't want to let you go
17:14
Come on guys
17:15
I don't want to let you go
17:17
But then again, I'd like to
17:18
give somebody else a chance too
17:21
So it's going to be one
17:21
of those leaps of faith
17:24
Tell you what, if nobody calls, you just
17:26
tell me to call back
17:27
and we'll shoot the crap
17:29
Right, well, I know I've got two people I
17:31
can count on, you and Rheemie
17:32
Alright, man, thanks for calling
17:34
And hey, keep us updated on
17:35
that Dana 60 build for your XJ
17:39
And I forgot to
17:40
mention it when you called
17:42
You know, I think in my head, everybody
17:44
that's in the chat room and certainly me,
17:47
they all know who you are
17:48
The people listening may not
17:51
This is Scott, XJ4IV from XJtalk.com
17:55
He's been a member
17:55
for a pretty good while
17:58
He left us for about a
17:59
month and recently came back
18:01
So welcome back, Scott
18:03
And we'll look forward to more updates on
18:06
the site with you about your stuff
18:07
Alright, sounds good
18:11
And we ought to get together
18:13
I'm going to try and get to
18:14
the wheel on this Saturday
18:15
So Tony, you don't
18:17
have an excuse this time
18:19
Yeah, I do, I don't have sliders
18:20
Oh, well, we can build some real quick
18:25
Yeah, Mark's going to take
18:26
care of that for me though
18:27
Whenever I get the money to do it
18:29
Cool, detours?
18:30
Yep, absolutely
18:31
Awesome, awesome, awesome
18:33
I was looking at his website the other
18:34
day and I was really
18:35
intrigued by a lot of this stuff
18:36
I was like, "Ooh, fun!"
18:38
We are really getting
18:39
some very exciting vendors
18:41
I mean, you know, Mark, detours has been
18:43
there since the beginning
18:44
Iron Man Andy, Mohe is the
18:46
system, great front end parts
18:48
The lower control arms, upper control
18:50
arms, track power, etc
18:53
We got a new vendor today
18:56
Dirt bound off road
18:57
And he's got a $100 FYE
19:00
for an NP-242 transfer case
19:04
Do what?
19:05
You haven't seen that?
19:05
You need to have a look
19:07
No, and I'm buying it because I was about
19:09
to get rid of that and buy a C31
19:11
Yeah, it's a hack and tap
19:13
But we have a new vendor on and I'm going
19:17
to ask him some questions
19:18
Because I've heard some things about
19:20
doing the standard hack
19:21
and tap for a 231 on a 242
19:23
That isn't the best thing to do
19:26
But this is the yoke, the drill bit, the
19:29
tap, the nut,
19:31
instructions, yada, yada, yada
19:34
Oh, for yours it's more expensive
19:36
Sorry, for the 96 and
19:39
earlier it's like $189
19:41
Well, could it? What happened there?
19:43
It's because there's a different rear
19:45
housing on it, I'm sure
19:46
Exactly, because it comes
19:47
with a piece that bolts on there
19:49
It's very nice, it looks great
19:51
But yeah, there's a
19:52
couple of additional pieces
19:53
A seal and that housing
19:55
part that goes on there
19:57
But yeah, have a
19:58
look, it's pretty tempting
20:00
I really wanted the Tom Wood solution,
20:03
but it's really tempting
20:04
So I've got to ask him some questions
20:07
Because it's actually like
20:08
$109 for the hack and tap
20:11
And then I would use, the thing I really
20:14
like about it is being able
20:15
to use a front drive shaft
20:17
Because that means I've got two drive
20:19
shafts that are exactly the same
20:21
And if I trash one, I'm carrying a spare
20:25
Yep, and you can still get home
20:27
That's right, that's what it's all about
20:29
Alright man, thanks for the call
20:30
Thanks for the call and
20:32
we'll catch you on the site
20:34
Alright, take it easy
20:35
Alright
20:35
Bye
20:36
Okay, yeah that says URL
20:39
removed, Raney let me turn that on
20:42
Allow links
20:44
So anytime you guys are posting
20:48
URLs, internet websites in chat
20:51
Unless the links are
20:52
being allowed, it's going to
20:54
To everybody else it's
20:55
going to say URL removed
20:57
To you, on your chat
20:59
screen, you'll see the link
21:01
So that's a little
21:06
deceiving when you see that
21:07
Because you think everybody saw it, but
21:09
it didn't, it says URL removed
21:11
So Raney if you want to send
21:13
that thing back again, you can
21:14
If you want to send that link out again,
21:15
you can put that in
21:17
there and it'll show up now
21:18
Because I've turned the links on
21:20
And Scott, XJ4IV says, "Okay sorry guys,
21:23
didn't mean to take up time"
21:24
You didn't take up any time at all,
21:25
that's exactly what we're doing tonight
21:27
Is taking live calls
21:30
So I really appreciate it, it was a
21:32
relief getting a call
21:33
Because you usually have to beg
21:35
Yep, I see it now
21:37
Yeah, that's the link
21:38
Is that the link to the
21:40
Oh that's the link to the post that
21:43
Dirtbound Offroad put up about the
21:48
NP-242 SIE that they have
21:51
on sale through April the 1st
21:54
Also too, Turl
21:58
Posted and asked
22:00
And I thought, it kind of
22:02
embarrassed me a little bit
22:03
We got a brand new vendor and he's
22:04
saying, "Hey, we got an XJTalk discount"
22:08
And Dirtbound Offroad came
22:11
up and like a champ posted
22:13
Yeah, he goes, "Let me get it set up,
22:15
it'll be XJTalk and
22:17
it'll be a 10% discount"
22:18
I mean, 10%, that's a great discount
22:22
So if you're not an
22:24
XJTalk member, join up
22:26
And get in there and look
22:29
at all the goodies he has
22:31
Actually he has a 3 electric fan set up
22:35
3 10" fans that's supposed to put out
22:38
I'm sorry, 4,600 CFM
22:43
And he even has a couple of controllers
22:46
That he will sell with that
22:48
Anyway, just the fans themselves are $149
22:52
So that might be a real
22:56
possibility for my Jeep
22:58
Because I've been trying to get my
23:02
cooling problem on the highway
23:05
The little heating issue I have, the
23:07
little overheating issue I've been having
23:10
And that might very well solve it
23:12
I think 2,900 CFM is what you need if
23:16
you're going to be
23:16
changing to electric fans
23:18
So I think 4,600 would
23:19
be probably what I need
23:22
Well, Rene Arganard from Scott says,
23:26
"Stop driving on the highway"
23:28
It's a daily driver, Scott
23:31
You guys don't understand
23:32
I don't have money to
23:34
spend on additional vehicles
23:36
I have to take very
23:37
good care of what I've got
23:38
So every time I go out
23:41
off-road, I really enjoy it
23:43
But every time I go off-road, I'm
23:45
wondering what it is
23:46
that I'm going to break
23:47
And how much is it going to cost me
23:49
I mean, I'd be
23:50
hard-pressed to buy another tire
23:53
So I have to be very cautious about it
23:55
That's another reason
23:56
why I talk about sliders
23:58
Well, Rene's called in on Skype
24:00
Let's bring him on
24:01
Hey, Rene
24:03
Hey, Tony, what's up?
24:04
And if you haven't
24:05
already, turn down your computer
24:08
I shut it off
24:09
Okay, I want to say turn down your radio
24:11
But that's from the old days, the old
24:14
talk shows that I used to listen to
24:17
So what's up?
24:18
I mean, this is for you guys that weren't
24:20
aware, we had a show last night
24:22
A little quickly put together a show
24:24
And Rene and Wayne
24:25
both called in on that one
24:26
So this is two days in a row for Rene
24:29
Yeah, I know, and poor Wayne
24:30
I don't understand
24:31
How come I can understand all the
24:32
reporters over there?
24:33
But I can't understand what he says
24:35
He's a New Zealand hillbilly
24:38
He's the redneck from New Zealand
24:40
You know, it'd be a lot
24:41
more funny if he was here
24:43
Or he could hear that and react to it
24:45
Oh, I know, well he shows to be on Skype
24:47
But I've tried to text him a couple times
24:49
and he hasn't answered
24:50
Yeah, there's no telling
24:51
what's going on over there
24:52
Hopefully it's nothing bad
24:55
I mean, I think they're just nervous
24:57
about things that are going on
24:58
Of course, I remember him
24:59
saying this coming weekend
25:01
They're looking at the moon man, the
25:04
non-scientific moon man
25:05
Is calling for another major quake this
25:07
weekend there in
25:08
Christchurch, New Zealand
25:10
So we will see
25:11
Hopefully they won't have it
25:15
I tell you what, with all these, with the
25:17
big quake there at Christchurch
25:19
And the two big quakes at Christchurch
25:22
And now the 9.0 in Japan
25:24
You know, my goodness, it kind of makes
25:26
you wonder what the hell is going on
25:29
And of course there was
25:30
the one in Sumatra in 2004
25:35
I mean, a quarter of
25:36
a million people died
25:37
And I'd heard reports, early on I heard
25:40
reports that in Japan
25:41
They were suspecting that there might be
25:43
close to 90,000 killed in that quake
25:47
That's horrible
25:49
You know what's pretty
25:50
amazing about all that?
25:51
The natives over in Somalia
25:53
When that tsunami was coming in
25:56
The natives burned like
25:57
****
25:57
the highest spikes they could get
25:59
All the tourists were
25:59
walking up from the beach going
26:01
"Ooh, look at that new fishy!"
26:03
Well if you think about it,
26:04
the tourists don't have any idea
26:05
I mean, especially if
26:06
they're from California
26:07
I mean, what do you have to expect from
26:09
California earthquakes?
26:10
I mean, generally speaking, it's a little
26:13
rumble and that's it
26:17
Well that's true, but you would think
26:19
they'd have enough sense
26:20
as a human being to know
26:22
If the water goes rushing
26:24
out, it's gonna come back
26:27
My wife was showing me, I forget what she
26:30
was watching on the U-verse
26:34
But she stopped it and wanted me to watch
26:37
And basically this little girl and her
26:38
family were on vacation over in Sumatra
26:41
And he, I guess, is
26:44
where they were actually
26:45
And she saw all the warning signs
26:47
She had just learned about it in school
26:50
And they were on the beach
26:52
And she sees the foam in
26:54
the water, the water going out
26:56
And the two adult parents and her
26:59
siblings are all there on the beach
27:01
And she sees these warning signs and says
27:03
"Hey, I learned about this at school"
27:06
"There's a tidal wave coming"
27:09
And they're like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
27:10
And she says, "No, we need to leave"
27:13
And I think they made it to safety with
27:15
about just a few minutes to spare
27:19
And they almost certainly would have been
27:21
killed, the entire family
27:23
So it's not that you don't, it's not that
27:26
people can't recognize there's a problem
27:29
Most of the time when people see
27:31
something unusual, they
27:32
go, "Ooh, look at that"
27:34
I mean, as I was telling my girls that
27:38
whenever you see
27:38
something unusual, think about it
27:40
What could this mean?
27:42
I mean, we saw it here
27:44
recently on the Japan tsunami
27:46
There were people, you remember that
27:48
scene where the boats
27:49
were going under the roadway?
27:52
It was cars and boats, I mean huge boats
27:55
And there was cars driving on the bridge,
27:57
which I understand,
27:58
what are you going to do?
27:58
You're driving and
27:59
you need to keep driving
28:00
The thing I couldn't understand were the
28:01
people standing on the bridge
28:03
watching everything going on
28:07
Well, have you had a chance to watch that
28:09
video that I posted last night?
28:10
I didn't see it
28:11
Oh, it's in the chapel
28:15
section under the Japan quake
28:17
Okay, I'll have a look
28:19
I couldn't remember where you put that
28:20
because we talked about
28:21
two or three different places
28:26
I think I must sound like
28:27
****
28:27
to them over there
28:28
The guy just asked me
28:29
if I was taking a crap
28:30
I think I'm in the living room
28:31
It sounds like you're typing on the
28:33
keyboard and the typing is really loud
28:36
It must be this real sense of
28:37
"Mike, not bad for $17, huh?"
28:40
Yeah, no, everything sounds fine now,
28:42
does it sound fine to you guys?
28:45
He's whacking it, yeah
28:46
Dude, that all tight, I'm a
28:50
one finger on each hand taper
28:52
You guys have seen the gopher thing where
28:53
you take the hammer and you try to hit
28:55
the head of the gopher
28:56
Well, Vinnie's got a big hammer for the
28:58
keys and that's how he types
29:00
Wap, wap, wap, wap
29:01
Yeah, pretty much, I'm not a...
29:04
Typing in English and all
29:05
that is not my favorite subjects
29:08
Well, we're glad that you stick with it
29:10
because we always get
29:11
some interesting posts
29:13
And you get the job done and actually you
29:16
get quite a few posts on
29:18
there, so really appreciate that
29:20
Yeah, I don't even know how
29:20
many posts I'm up to anymore
29:22
I absolutely never look at that stuff
29:25
Even in the newsletters, can you send
29:26
out? Unfortunately, I
29:27
don't even look at it again
29:29
Yeah, you know the thing that surprised
29:30
me, down at the bottom of the forums page
29:33
It shows the top chatters,
29:36
the top chat box chatters
29:38
And I was real surprised that Dalton 4x4
29:41
is by far the leader
29:43
Oh, by super far
29:46
It's like the machine, I'm going to go to
29:49
it real quick since I'm
29:50
sitting here looking at it
29:52
It's like he's a thousand over everybody
29:54
Yeah, I was amazed, and I
29:56
figured he was talking to Jamie
30:00
But Jamie's post, well he may be, but
30:02
Jamie's post chat box counts weren't
30:05
nearly as high as his
30:07
So it must be a real
30:08
one-sided conversation
30:10
Yeah, no joke, she's a
30:12
different person there
30:14
Very interesting
30:16
Let's see, I haven't updated it, let me
30:18
refresh the page here and I
30:20
can see what the chat counts are
30:21
Yeah, I'm looking at that,
30:22
I don't see it, how come?
30:24
I found throne, I found...
30:26
Yeah, it's right above where the egg
30:30
avatar statistics are
30:32
Jeep Cherokee Form XJTox Statistics, the
30:35
best chatters are 4x4 Dalton
30:37
15,030
30:41
And the next highest
30:44
is BigGym350 with 9,106
30:49
So that's a delta of over 5,000 chats
30:54
So this isn't characters guys, this is...
30:58
Well at least my understanding is that's
30:59
the number of lines, you know, semi-types
31:01
in "Hello, my name is Dalton"
31:03
Inner, that's a chat
31:05
Right, well you know what I
31:08
was going to say about Jamie
31:09
Sometimes on chat she gets kind of whiny,
31:13
trying to be nice about it
31:15
But on Facebook, all of her posts are
31:17
actually pretty cool
31:18
It's like, I don't get it
31:20
Well there's an interactive nature to...
31:24
If you're sending something like an email
31:26
or something, you have time to think
31:28
about what it is that you're doing
31:29
You're writing, you're not just reacting
31:31
And in the chatroom
31:33
it's almost like talking
31:34
And you know how some people put their
31:36
foot in their mouth a
31:37
lot whenever they talk
31:38
And they may be perfectly fine if they
31:40
did an email or so on and so forth
31:43
So it could be that
31:44
I just think that it might be that
31:47
whenever you're sending something that
31:49
you're going to take time
31:50
and type it in and hit enter
31:52
Then you have more time to think about it
31:54
Yeah, it's probably it
31:55
I don't know, I mean, I generally...
31:57
If it comes to my mind, it comes out of
31:59
my fingertips or on Facebook or wherever
32:02
I don't generally have a big filter
32:03
between brain and mouth
32:06
Well I'm sure that's gotten you into as
32:07
much trouble as it gets me into
32:10
Oh no, never
32:11
Yeah, Jamie Lynn only has 2,919
32:15
So, oh hey, you know, I just realized
32:18
The most recent thing you've done
32:22
Well you did a lot of
32:22
repairs to your Jeep
32:24
Is everything in working order now?
32:27
I will definitely know come Friday
32:30
Oh you can tell, you
32:31
can tell by driving it
32:33
If it feels right
32:34
Yeah, you know so far it seems fine
32:35
You know what I was telling y'all
32:36
My lower arms off my Rough Country kit,
32:40
the bushings are wiped out
32:41
Really?
32:41
And I noticed it when I started doing
32:43
them, I put them tubular uppers on it
32:45
And I called Jason over at Rough Country
32:48
And you know they
32:49
sent me an entire new arm
32:51
I didn't get bushings
32:53
I've got two brand new
32:55
arms from Rough Country
32:56
My goodness
32:58
They do some great customer service
33:00
I wonder if...
33:01
I think they've always been like this
33:03
But I'm kind of wondering if they're
33:04
running a little scared
33:05
Because of Rubicon Express
33:08
Well you know, yes or no
33:09
Jason told me a little
33:10
bit of behind all that
33:12
What didn't happen, Rubicon Express was
33:15
one of the first people to do a lot of
33:16
the lift kits like this
33:18
And well when the economy went to crap
33:21
A lot of people started buying Rough
33:22
Country because
33:23
that's all you could afford
33:24
I mean, let's see here, you have a 4 inch
33:28
Rubicon Express lift kit that's $1000
33:29
And you can get this one for $500 over
33:32
here at Rough Country
33:33
You know, you kind of...
33:34
when you only have $750 to spend
33:38
You're going to buy the $500 kit
33:40
So that's what everybody was doing
33:42
And then when they got the
33:43
Rough Country kit they realized
33:44
Holy crap, you know what?
33:46
This is a pretty good kit
33:49
And then when the money started coming
33:50
back in they were still going, you know
33:52
Of course they, you know, like you and I
33:55
And Big Jim and all of
33:56
us that run Rough Country
33:58
All of us bragged about it
33:59
to everybody who will listen
34:01
And that goes a long ways
34:04
Well, you know, I trust yours
34:06
and Jim's and Scott's opinion
34:08
And when we go off road and you tell me
34:11
my Jeep is doing well
34:13
That it's articulating
34:15
well and going through things
34:18
You know, that's all I have to go by
34:20
I mean, I just have the one Jeep
34:22
My experience is with one Jeep
34:24
And as far as suspension
34:25
system goes, it's Rough Country
34:27
I mean, the only other
34:28
vehicle I had was an 83 pickup
34:31
And I think that it was a Rancho kit
34:36
But I mean, that was
34:36
leaf springs on the front
34:37
So it's kind of a
34:38
totally different animal
34:39
And it was a full-size truck too
34:40
So articulation was, you know, was it
34:44
pronounced properly?
34:44
I mean, I had no idea
34:47
So as far as I can tell, the Rough
34:50
Country lift is great
34:51
Now, the only thing I can
34:53
tell from what people talk about
34:55
Is the Rubicon Express
34:57
stuff has a much better ride
35:00
That maybe the stuff is a little softer
35:03
So that whenever you're on the road
35:05
Or I guess even if you're
35:07
off road, if it's very bumpy
35:08
You're not going to
35:08
feel those bumps as much
35:10
Now, in my
35:11
one-dimensional head about off-roading
35:14
Or even on-road with a lifted vehicle
35:17
What do I care about with the ride?
35:19
I don't have back problems
35:21
It's a, God, I want to
35:23
say big Jim's favorite word
35:25
It's a four-wheel drive
35:27
Come on
35:28
Exactly
35:28
If I wanted to ride like a Cadillac, I'd
35:31
buy a big f***ing Cadillac
35:32
And Cadillac is a great explanation for
35:35
how I view Rubicon's Express
35:37
Rubicon Express prices
35:39
Because that's what
35:40
it is, Cadillac prices
35:42
Yeah, and you know, everybody who has
35:45
Rubicon Express loves it
35:47
And I have no experience with them
35:48
whatsoever under any of my vehicles
35:51
So I can't say I've had tough country
35:55
I've had, this is my second
35:57
time to deal with rough country
36:00
I've had a full Ranchero suspension
36:03
I've had Superlift
36:05
I've had Skyjacker
36:07
And I'll tell you what, out of
36:09
everybody's lift kit I've had so far
36:11
I've had more problems
36:14
out of my rough country
36:15
I will say that
36:16
I've had two shocks go bad
36:18
I've had the lower arms,
36:20
you know, the bushings go bad
36:22
And that's, you know, about a year's time
36:24
But
36:25
Well, you beat the f*** out of it too
36:27
Oh yeah, I beat the f*** out of my Jeep
36:28
I'm never going to deny that
36:29
But, in the same
36:30
breath, yes I've had problems
36:32
But they've never, ever, ever given me
36:35
one ounce of, you know, why this, that,
36:39
you know, blah blah blah
36:41
About repairing it or replacing something
36:43
They just send it to
36:44
me, no questions asked
36:45
You know, they treated me the same way
36:48
with my bent track bar, so
36:50
Yeah, I'm with you on that
36:51
It's like, you know what, you know, you
36:53
could use the same
36:54
thing you do as an auto zone
36:55
Well yeah, I put my starter in there and
36:57
it went bad and they gave me a new one
36:59
But the catch is, I've done with auto
37:01
zone, I put the starter in there and
37:02
never started the friggin' car
37:04
So, you know, I beat
37:06
the f*** out of my Jeep
37:08
I wouldn't expect anybody's lift kit to
37:10
live under what I've done to my Jeep
37:12
Well this is like the same discussion we
37:13
were having about the
37:14
winches the other day on the site
37:16
And I, the only thing that makes me
37:19
nervous about a Jeep winch is I don't
37:22
have experience with it
37:24
Now, indirectly I have
37:26
experience with a Jeep winch
37:29
So you're typing again
37:32
Tarky
37:34
Where's the microphone, by the way?
37:36
On my ear, I mean,
37:36
it's like a headphone set
37:38
Wow, my goodness, I thought that might be
37:41
a desk mounted thing or something
37:43
Because that typing is probably as loud
37:46
as you are, that's amazing
37:47
Anyway, I have experience with the Jeep
37:50
winch through seeing
37:51
what you've done with yours
37:53
And when we've been off-road together,
37:54
and of course the stuff that I see that
37:57
you put up on the site
37:58
So I feel a little bitter about it
38:00
Well let me
38:01
I haven't gone through the same stuff,
38:03
and I think that's what, with the Rough
38:04
Country, that's where I am as far as
38:06
I don't mind the potential
38:10
problems with the Rough Country
38:11
Because I've gone out and done some
38:13
fairly rough things with mine
38:15
And yeah, I bent something
38:17
But it took me six months
38:18
to figure out that I bent it
38:19
And that's not because I'm dumb, it's
38:21
because it just turned the
38:23
steering wheel a little bit
38:24
And I went home and just did the steering
38:25
wheel and I've been driving it
38:26
So
38:29
No Scott, I'm not licking the mic
38:34
Hey Scott, you asked me a question
38:36
No, I do not have my proof of purchase on
38:38
my Rough Country anymore
38:39
But every time I give them my phone
38:41
number, they find me in the system and
38:43
that's all they ever asked for
38:44
They've never asked for a picture,
38:46
they've never asked for me
38:47
to be turned apart, nothing
38:49
They've always just said,
38:50
"Hey man, we'll take care of it"
38:52
And it's in the mail
38:53
That was a little different from me Scott
38:55
Actually, the guy that I spoke with, I
38:58
think his name was Chris
38:59
He joined XJ Talk the same day that I
39:02
spoke with him, or
39:03
chatted with him online
39:05
He wanted a receipt
39:08
and he wanted the picture
39:10
And I was able to provide both those
39:12
things within five minutes
39:13
Because I had the electronic receipt
39:17
So yeah, they wanted both those things
39:20
Well true Tony, but I bought mine
39:22
straight from Rough Country
39:23
I need to buy it through a distributor
39:26
Gotcha
39:26
That might make the
39:28
difference, might make the difference
39:29
We would have to check with probably Ron
39:31
at www.ForvillingPlus.com
39:34
He'd be able to tell
39:34
us how they handled that
39:37
By the way Tony, I was
39:38
going to just tell you all
39:40
My winch issue was not my solenoid, I
39:43
melted the battery cable
39:44
I melted the battery terminal off of it
39:46
Really?
39:47
Yeah, I found that the other day
39:49
When I was fixing the winch, I had
39:51
actually pulled the cable loose
39:53
And as I was pulling it
39:54
loose, I noticed what I had done
39:55
So yeah, I, of all
39:57
things, so as of right now
40:00
My winch is never
40:01
giving you one ounce of bones
40:03
So what exactly, what
40:05
exactly burned off where the
40:06
Where it was connected to the battery?
40:08
Where it was connected to the battery
40:09
What I had done, I had aftermarket cables
40:12
on my Optima battery like everybody else
40:14
And you know how they have the spot where
40:17
you can, you know, like open it up
40:18
Two seven sixteenths nuts, you open it up
40:20
and you put the cable in there
40:21
And you tighten them down
40:22
Well I don't use that, I actually use the
40:24
bolts and put new ends on my cables
40:27
And tighten them in the bolts
40:28
One of them ends that
40:30
literally melted off
40:32
Well that's interesting, it's, you know,
40:34
when I was watching the video
40:35
Which by the way, the video of Rene Opt
40:40
recovering the flipped XJ
40:42
He actually recovered it the
40:44
opposite way that it went in
40:45
So he did it tail over nose
40:49
Anyway that video is up on XJTalk.com
40:53
And if you, you really
40:54
can't see much with it
40:56
But if you watch the
40:59
lights on Rene's Jeep
41:01
You can tell as that winch was under load
41:04
Because his lights would dim about fifty
41:07
percent of what they
41:08
were prior to that load
41:11
And it's a cycling
41:13
Bright dim, bright dim, bright dim
41:16
So actually you probably could have,
41:19
actually you could have had a fire
41:21
You were running, pulling so
41:22
many amps through that cable
41:24
You're actually lucky
41:25
it burned where it burned
41:26
I mean basically what you had was a big
41:28
a** fuse there that started melting
41:30
Right, but also do remember that my winch
41:33
has done that ever
41:33
since I put the remote in it
41:35
And I cannot figure out why it's doing it
41:38
It does it under load, it
41:39
does it without being under load
41:41
It doesn't matter, it's still like, you
41:43
know, the winch goes
41:44
Eh, eh, eh, it just
41:46
has done it since day one
41:48
Even the people at Smittybilt, the
41:50
technical guys at Smittybilt
41:51
Cannot explain to me why my winch does
41:54
that with the remote on it
41:55
Do you still have the wired remote?
41:58
Yes, I have the wired, if I run the wired
42:00
it works perfectly normal
42:02
But with my little remote it does that
42:04
and it's just something that I deal with
42:07
And I mean it's never given me one ounce
42:10
of problems because of it
42:11
And I don't care if it does that
42:13
Well I wonder if we could get Big Jeep,
42:14
Big Jeep and his friend back there to
42:16
flip that Jeep back over
42:17
And we could try it with the wired remote
42:20
and see if he had the same problem
42:22
Well you know what's funny is, the
42:25
following weekend, the weekend of Mudfest
42:27
I actually had to turn a samurai over
42:30
I had a recovery to pull a
42:32
samurai back on its wheels
42:33
So yeah, two in like less than a week
42:36
Hey, speaking of turning over a samurai,
42:39
I think there was some
42:39
chat on the poster or two
42:42
On the XJTalks site about the cover of
42:46
the Quadratec catalog
42:48
And I didn't catch it
42:50
I was just looking at the Jeep and
42:51
actually that bumper that's on the Jeep
42:53
But the young lady that is the model that
42:56
is pretending to winch out a vehicle
42:58
That vehicle they're
42:59
winching out I guess is an H3 Hummer
43:02
It sure is
43:03
I like that little
43:04
dig, that's kind of cool
43:08
Yeah that was pretty fun
43:09
You know I don't guess, I'm almost
43:11
certain they don't have any
43:12
Hummer parts in there do they
43:13
I mean they have a grill that looks like
43:16
the grill that goes on a Hummer
43:17
That they sell for a Jeep
43:18
And personally I think anybody that does
43:20
that should be beaten
43:21
But you know that course that kind of
43:24
goes against my rule of you know
43:25
Whatever you want to
43:26
do, it's your vehicle
43:27
It's still making an
43:30
XJ look like a Hummer
43:31
It's a sacrilege to me
43:33
Yeah it's kind of
43:34
****
43:36
But I bet me and Big Jim know some people
43:37
that would be willing
43:38
to do that don't we Jim?
43:39
I know you're out there somewhere
43:40
Yeah he's there, let's see that he joined
43:43
Well Rene you want to stick on here and
43:45
try to answer some of these questions
43:47
I've got the questions that people
43:49
submitted for our performance distributor
43:51
FireWire 4.0 kit giveaway
43:55
And I thought I'd play them on tonight's
43:56
show at least as many as we can
43:59
And try to answer them
44:00
They've been waiting
44:00
quite a while for answers
44:02
Yeah I was, you know some of them are
44:04
actually pretty cool
44:05
And I've got to admit I voted for the
44:09
ones that I thought were the best
44:11
But with the Ordins, I don't
44:14
know how to pronounce his name
44:15
I think it's Orderedeen just
44:16
because it's O-R-D-E-R-D-E-N
44:19
Or D-E-N-E
44:20
So I think it's Orderedeen
44:22
Well with Orderedeen I give him one
44:25
million percent props
44:27
Yes
44:28
Calling in and doing what he did
44:31
Knowing for a fact that
44:33
English is not his language
44:35
That's a lot
44:36
And also too, he is a subscriber
44:39
A subscriber to the site
44:40
A half a world away
44:42
Or maybe even at least half a world away
44:44
And a subscriber to the site
44:46
I mean my gosh
44:47
Like I was saying yesterday
44:49
Very humbled, very honored
44:51
to have all the subscribers
44:53
But especially one that English is not
44:56
the primary language
44:56
And it's just really cool
44:59
You know Tony, on something like that
45:01
And I'd be willing to
45:02
bet if you put it to a vote
45:04
It would be a decil
45:05
You know, give him a consolation prize of
45:09
a t-shirt or something
45:10
I mean, you know, I mean come on
45:13
This is a guy who
45:15
He tried his dandest on
45:17
the promo and the question
45:20
I mean more props to the guys
45:22
Hey, he may not need a consolation prize,
45:24
the voting's not over
45:26
Well, no true, but even if
45:27
it doesn't vote in his favor
45:29
I'd say a consolation prize
45:31
just for doing what he did
45:34
I mean I was so impressed
45:37
Well, one of the things we're going to be
45:38
doing here pretty soon
45:41
In fact I was supposed to call the guy
45:42
today and I'd get a chance
45:43
I did find a local
45:44
vendor for XJ Talks stickers
45:46
So you guys have been, have paid and have
45:48
been waiting for your XJ Talks stickers
45:51
It may be coming really soon
45:53
He's not available this Saturday
45:55
It's going to have to be
45:56
Saturday for me to pick him up
45:57
Because it's over here in West Houston
45:59
And I can't drive him from North Houston
46:01
And get to West Houston in time
46:04
So probably the
46:05
Saturday following this one
46:08
I should be able to go pick him up
46:09
I want to get a couple of samples
46:11
And there also might be a
46:13
possibility for some really large
46:16
Logo type with the
46:19
yellow, the red and the black
46:20
Like you see on top of the,
46:23
on the top page of the website
46:24
Some really large XJ Chalk logos
46:27
I did get a price on the
46:28
4x10s that were, for, yeah, 15.50
46:35
So I'm hoping that something twice that
46:39
size might be in the $30 to $40 range
46:43
And it basically would take up most of
46:46
your rear quarter panel window
46:49
So I'm going to get some from my Jeep
46:51
And if you guys are interested in that
46:55
I mean I understand you have to have a
46:57
great love of XJ Talk to put something
46:59
that big on your Jeep
47:01
But I'll certainly be willing to get some
47:03
if you guys are willing
47:05
to stick it on your Jeep
47:06
But I do need to get a price
47:08
And I don't know what his limit is as far
47:10
as how big an image he can make
47:13
I think they do car wraps over there so I
47:15
don't think he's got a limit
47:17
Yeah, I like XJ wraps question, what
47:20
about a banner for the windshield?
47:21
Yeah, I was just getting ready to say it
47:23
wouldn't be, I don't
47:24
know how that would look
47:27
I don't know what the font would be or, I
47:30
mean I'm certainly open to suggestions
47:31
I thought about that, but as far as it
47:36
wouldn't be the circle with the XJT
47:38
I wouldn't think anyway, it would be like
47:42
the logo on the website
47:44
So it would have to
47:45
be something different
47:46
And actually, Ironman Andy had asked me
47:49
because in this race that he was just in
47:52
He asked my permission to print up a
47:55
large XJ Talk sticker
47:57
So he could put on his
47:59
Jeep during the drive
48:00
And I thought that was
48:01
very nice of him to offer that
48:03
We didn't get it worked out,
48:04
but he was trying to do that
48:06
So yeah, a banner for
48:09
the window would be fine
48:10
If you guys want to come up with some
48:12
ideas about how that would look
48:15
Sure, I'd be happy to talk to the guy at
48:17
the vinyl sign place
48:20
about getting some made
48:22
But before we get too far down the road
48:24
on this, let's get some questions up
48:26
before we run out of time
48:29
So this first question, we just spoke
48:32
about Order Deans, so
48:33
let's put up his question
48:34
I may have to translate this for you
48:37
guys, we can try
48:38
playing it a couple of times
48:40
So here is Order Deans
48:41
question for the FireWire giveaway
48:44
And of course you can listen to it on
48:46
XJTalk and please vote on there so that
48:49
we can select a winner for that kit
48:51
Voting will continue
48:53
through Wednesday of next week
48:54
And then we'll vote on what's the best
48:59
promo, best question of the two
49:01
And then whoever wins
49:03
that vote wins the prize
49:05
So anyway, here's Order Deans question
49:06
And if you don't know, Order
49:08
Deans is a Mongolia resident
49:11
So that's why I say half a world away
49:13
I mean it may be further than half a
49:15
world, I guess it depends on which way
49:16
you go, east or west
49:18
How many different colors of
49:20
XJs we have here at XJTalk?
49:25
So he's asking how many different color
49:27
XJs do we have on XJTalk?
49:29
How many different colors of
49:31
XJs we have here at XJTalk?
49:36
Well I know we have red
49:38
We have red, green, black, orange
49:40
No, I don't know about
49:41
those, I know we have red
49:45
There's a lot of green
49:46
ones though, there really is
49:47
Yeah, what are the
49:48
colors? Red, green, black
49:50
Blue?
49:52
Who has a blue one?
49:54
I don't think he's been on in a while, I
49:56
just saw on the albums today
49:58
Who is it?
50:00
McRob
50:04
Who has a white one? Puddersher? Paul?
50:07
Well, hell f***ing man has a white one
50:09
Glen has a white one so
50:11
we definitely have white
50:12
Got a beautiful 98 white one
50:15
Well he actually
50:17
drives his worse than you do
50:19
Or I shouldn't say worse, I
50:20
should say more aggressive
50:21
I had no idea that a Cherokee could go
50:24
that far to the side without flipping
50:27
I mean, oh my god
50:29
Okay
50:31
Huh?
50:33
Oh I know
50:34
Has anybody seen or heard of Red Dragon
50:36
since the last six months?
50:39
No
50:40
Yeah, XJ4IV says Scott Red Dragon
50:44
Yeah, I don't know what happened to him,
50:45
he was pretty into what was going on
50:48
I don't know, I don't know if he's still
50:52
working out at HP or not
50:53
I haven't heard or seen anything from him
50:55
Oh
50:55
Yeah, there's tan
50:56
because Scott painted his tan
50:58
Of course orange from orange XJ
51:01
What's orange XJ's first name?
51:03
Greg Greg?
51:05
Yep And gosh, I mean, I
51:09
can't, there's all kinds
51:11
There's yellow, I mean XJ Jeep thing
51:13
hasn't been on a while
51:14
but he's got a yellow one
51:16
Steph has a multicolored
51:19
one, which includes yellow
51:21
I think the only color we don't have is
51:23
the purple one that your friend has
51:26
Purple, that Barney purple, yep
51:28
Yep, the Barney purple
51:29
But there's a lot of green ones, yep,
51:31
there's a lot of green
51:32
And of course, Big Jim had a
51:36
green one there for a while
51:38
I was just noticing he's not on anymore
51:40
He still has a green one
51:41
No, I just noticed he wasn't in the chat
51:43
room, he's not in the show anymore
51:45
Oh, yeah, but he still has a green Jeep,
51:48
he still has the green XJ
51:50
He painted it
51:51
It's green, he painted it green
51:53
Painted it back green?
51:54
No, it's painted it
51:56
all of the color green
51:57
It's a different color green
51:59
Right
51:59
Gotcha, okay
52:00
Okay, let's go to another question here
52:04
So really the question about how many
52:07
different colors, I don't, gosh
52:09
I guess we'd actually have
52:10
to write it down and add it up
52:12
To be able to answer Ordereding's
52:14
question there properly
52:16
Here is a question from Gumby1220
52:20
Hi, this is Gumby1220 on XJtalk.com
52:23
I'm calling from Houston, Texas
52:25
My question is, if you guys were thinking
52:27
about adding a thread on
52:30
A how to convert a two-wheel
52:32
drive to a four-wheel drive
52:34
I haven't found any
52:36
straightforward answers online
52:38
Alright, that's my question, thank you
52:40
Now, I think Blue XJ has actually done
52:43
this as far as doing the conversion
52:46
But I...
52:47
Who did it?
52:48
Blue XJ, a moderator
52:50
Oh, okay
52:51
Well, I know Matt's
52:53
going to do it, so yes
52:54
Yeah
52:55
The answer to that question is, there
52:57
isn't anything in writing yet
52:59
But it will be done
53:00
when Matt does his Jeep
53:01
Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I was
53:03
asking Matthew the other day
53:04
I can't remember if I was on the Facebook
53:06
chat with him or on XJtalk chat
53:09
But I said, "Hey, are you going to take
53:10
pictures and do a write-up on that?"
53:13
Hint, hint
53:13
He says, "Sure!"
53:16
And that's not a...
53:17
I don't know if you guys have done that
53:20
Where you actually
53:20
perform work on your Jeep
53:22
And you take pictures
53:23
And you try to take the pictures in such
53:26
an order and in such a way
53:27
Where you know it's going to make sense
53:29
how you're going to be
53:29
able to explain it in a post
53:30
It's a lot of work
53:32
It takes a lot longer to do what you're
53:35
trying to do to the Jeep
53:36
So, hats off to all these guys
53:39
Anytime they take pictures and share that
53:41
information with us on the website
53:42
Because it's not an easy thing
53:44
It's much easier just
53:45
to get through the job
53:46
And not have to worry about the
53:47
additional task of setting up the shot
53:49
And make sure the lighting's right
53:51
And keeping the grease
53:52
off the $300 phone, you know
53:55
Yeah, you know what?
53:55
The one I just did with
53:56
the taking the doors off
53:58
As I was writing it up, I realized
54:01
I should have took that picture
54:03
I should have took that picture
54:04
I should have taken that picture
54:04
It's way, way, way hard
54:06
Matter of fact, the
54:07
picture I took that I said
54:09
"If you see right here where I ground
54:11
this down, it makes it
54:12
easier to put the door in"
54:13
I went out and took that
54:14
picture after I was completely done
54:16
That happens a lot
54:17
And there's nothing wrong with that
54:19
You know, because you're
54:21
doing it and writing it up
54:23
Or, you know, documentation is a pain
54:25
This period, because it's much easier to
54:30
do than it is to write about it
54:31
At least I think that's
54:32
the case for most of us
54:34
You know, there are people out there that
54:36
are probably better
54:36
documenters than there are mechanics
54:39
I'm just...
54:41
But yeah, it's a difficult task
54:43
Okay, so to answer
54:45
your question, Gumby1220
54:47
There is not, as you're aware of, there
54:49
is not a write-up on that
54:51
It will be shortly
54:52
I mean, Matt MS Mornberg, he's planning
54:56
on doing that pretty soon, isn't he?
54:57
Yes
54:58
Well, the front axle's in, the lift's on
55:02
We're going to pull the transmission and
55:04
transfer case out of the other Jeep and
55:06
get ready to install it
55:07
Oh, he already has the
55:08
Dana 30 in the front then
55:09
Yeah, the Dana 30's been
55:11
in it since he bought it
55:12
Oh, okay, gotcha
55:13
Well, at least when I wouldn't, you know,
55:15
look at the Jeep and shake my head about
55:18
now, it's a two-wheel drive
55:19
It's beneath me to even think about
55:21
waving at, so I would be fooled
55:23
I would see the pump coming in, "Oh,
55:24
4-wheel drive, hey, how you doing?"
55:26
Okay, so... because I am a Jeep's knob
55:29
Okay, so let's see, let's
55:31
go to Dalton 4x4's question
55:33
This is also another firewire question,
55:36
submission for the firewire contest
55:39
Hi, this is 4x4, Dalton from Virginia
55:41
I was wondering, I'm getting
55:43
ready to put the lift on my XJ
55:45
And what are the possible signs of a
55:47
death wobble, and what are the
55:51
best fixes for a death wobble
55:53
And y'all's mine, thank
55:55
you much, I'm on your...
55:56
Really simple, Tony
55:58
What are the possible
55:59
signs of a death wobble?
56:00
When you get it, you will
56:02
never, ever, ever forget it
56:06
Well, you fear of death
56:07
Do you think you're going to die?
56:11
The steering wheel will jerk left to
56:13
right, out of your hand
56:15
I mean, you'll be going 55 or so, and you
56:17
will come to a stop to make it go away
56:19
Oh, yeah
56:20
You will never forget it once you get it
56:22
I've never...
56:23
And the way to fix it, replace all the
56:25
wore-out crap, the only way to fix it
56:27
Yeah, it really is, bushings, track bar,
56:31
knuckles, I mean, I guess the...
56:33
What do you call the
56:34
things on the knuckles?
56:35
The ball joints
56:37
Yeah, the ball joints on the knuckles,
56:38
you can be a problem,
56:40
correct me if I'm wrong on this
56:41
But it's all that stuff on the front end
56:43
that gets old and can get loose
56:47
I would say... Yeah,
56:48
I'm sorry, go ahead, Tony
56:49
No, no, go ahead
56:50
I would say, out of everything that I've
56:53
read and everything I've seen and
56:54
everything I've experienced myself
56:57
The number one cause of death wobble is a
56:59
bad track bar, or
57:01
something in the track bar system
57:03
Right, the bushing or...
57:05
And really the stabilizer doesn't do that
57:10
much as far as curing death wobble
57:12
So I think a lot of people, they look at
57:14
that and they say, "Oh,
57:14
there's a shock there"
57:15
And the way it's connected, that must be
57:17
there to stop the death wobble
57:19
I think it helps, but it will not cure it
57:23
I don't think you can put a big enough
57:24
one on there to stop it
57:26
You have to look at the bushings, really,
57:29
if you have like a three foot long
57:30
screwdriver or a crowbar
57:32
You get under your front end and you
57:35
start pressing on the front end parts
57:37
The track bar, the tie rod, all that
57:39
stuff and you see what moves
57:42
Be careful what you're doing, of course,
57:43
because you can do a lot of damage
57:45
But you try to move that thing and if you
57:48
get... I mean, and I think this is true
57:50
Just a fraction of an inch movement is
57:52
enough to cause death wobble
57:54
So if you do one tie rod
57:57
end and it doesn't move
57:59
And you do the other tie rod end and it
58:01
moves a sixteenth of an inch
58:02
You probably need to replace it
58:04
Yeah, you probably need
58:04
to replace that tie rod
58:05
I mean, we're not talking about a lot of
58:08
movement here for something to be bad
58:11
Tony, would I tell everybody if you see
58:13
any movement in any of
58:14
the tie rods, replace them
58:17
Yes
58:17
Do not play games with them
58:18
Well, it's not worth having a rollover on
58:20
a highway because your tie rod end broke
58:23
I do want to read something
58:24
that Scott just put up here
58:25
Sure
58:26
A sign of death wobble can easily be
58:28
found in your underwear
58:30
That sums it up
58:32
Well, if you're an
58:33
improper wiper, it may not be...
58:36
Skid marks might be normal
58:38
You have to check with
58:38
your wife and let her...
58:40
Honey, is this normal?
58:44
Well, I don't think it's the skid marks
58:45
that you're concerned
58:46
about with death wobble
58:47
It's the lumps
58:49
Yeah, it's the lumps in there
58:53
Boy, look at all that censored stuff
58:57
They're typing in the chat room and all I
58:59
see is "Yeah" and
59:00
then "Censored yourself"
59:02
No, because you'll censored yourself
59:07
Okay, let's go to another
59:08
question here real quick
59:09
This will be from Metlik53
59:13
Hi, XJTalk
59:14
My name is John Irwin
59:16
Also known as Metlik53
59:18
on the XJTalk website
59:20
And I'm calling from Conroe, Texas
59:22
Calling from my job
59:23
here at the Country Club
59:26
My question is going
59:27
to be Cherokee related
59:28
Involving the
59:29
alternators on our Cherokees
59:32
One thing I hate is that the alternator
59:33
is put on the bottom of our jeeps
59:35
And mine got toasted
59:36
the last run at Creekside
59:38
I replaced it with a ZJ136 alternator
59:42
And it's working great now
59:44
But I'm afraid if I go back to Creekside,
59:46
I may toast the 136 too
59:48
I really love how my A-Z
59:50
blows ice cold all year long
59:52
And losing my air
59:53
conditioning is not an option
59:55
But I want my alternator moved up top
59:58
Is there any way I can put my alternator
59:59
up top and keep my air
1:00:00
conditioning as well?
1:00:02
Thank you
1:00:02
Well, you know, that's a great question
1:00:04
And I don't like that either
1:00:05
I don't like that the alternator is down
1:00:09
there at the bottom like that
1:00:11
I had very good luck
1:00:12
with my factory alternator
1:00:14
I got 167,000 miles and 13 years of use
1:00:18
out of it before I changed it
1:00:20
And even at that, it passed the
1:00:24
O'Reilly's bench test nine times
1:00:27
But I couldn't think of
1:00:29
anything else it could be
1:00:29
So I went ahead and got a new alternator
1:00:32
Now, I wish I had gone the
1:00:34
same route as Medlec 53 did
1:00:36
It was to get the 136 amp thing
1:00:38
I didn't want to mess with any possible
1:00:40
refit of blah blah blah
1:00:42
So I just went ahead
1:00:42
and got the replacement
1:00:43
Which by the way, even though my build
1:00:46
sheet said it was 117 amp alternator
1:00:48
It wasn't, it was a 90 amp alternator
1:00:51
So the 90 amp
1:00:53
alternator is running that winch
1:00:55
400 watt KC lights
1:01:01
Every other
1:01:02
Of course, I'm running a few LEDs which
1:01:05
helps that situation
1:01:06
But I haven't seen
1:01:09
anybody that's moved anything
1:01:11
And I can think that comes close to that
1:01:13
is what Steve has done with the second
1:01:16
air conditioner compressor
1:01:17
That he's using as a
1:01:19
onboard air compressor
1:01:20
Well Scott just put up
1:01:22
something here that is correct
1:01:23
On a Wrangler, the alternator is AC
1:01:26
compressor or change place
1:01:28
The compressor is on the bottom, the
1:01:29
alternator is on the top
1:01:31
That is one way of doing it
1:01:32
And pretty much anything else
1:01:34
is you're going to fabricate
1:01:37
Right, well I guess that's what Steve did
1:01:40
running the two AC
1:01:42
compressors side by side
1:01:44
But I'd have to actually go back and look
1:01:46
at that and see how he did that
1:01:47
But right off hand I'm
1:01:48
thinking that that might work
1:01:50
The same type thing might work by putting
1:01:53
the alternator right there
1:01:54
next to the air compressor
1:01:55
Now I don't know what serpentine belt he
1:01:57
used or how he made that work
1:02:00
But that was a really
1:02:01
cool setup, I liked that
1:02:03
Yeah I do too, but I don't know on the
1:02:05
alternator if that would be feasible
1:02:08
Is it possible? Sure,
1:02:11
anything is possible
1:02:12
But feasible, I think the quickest,
1:02:15
easiest way to solve it
1:02:16
would be go to a junkyard
1:02:18
Find your 4.0 or 2.5 or
1:02:20
whatever mode you have in there
1:02:22
And get the entire serpentine belt
1:02:24
assembly, all the
1:02:26
bracketry off of a Wrangler
1:02:28
And put it on your X-ray, that would be
1:02:30
the quickest, easiest way to solve it
1:02:32
Well maybe we can get a picture of that,
1:02:34
that would be a neat thing, a neat little
1:02:37
virtual project to work on
1:02:39
If we could get a picture of a Wrangler
1:02:40
and the brackets that are on there
1:02:42
And see how that might be able to be
1:02:44
swapped, that would be a pretty cool deal
1:02:46
Now another thing, there's actually two
1:02:48
questions I would like to know
1:02:50
He said it burnt up, I don't know if you
1:02:53
were out there that
1:02:53
time when he was out there
1:02:55
But I don't know how going out to
1:02:56
Creekside would have
1:02:57
burnt up that alternator
1:03:00
Running underwater in muddy water
1:03:04
Well I mean we were out there in that
1:03:05
pond quite a bit and mine was fine
1:03:08
I mean my harmonic balancer came apart
1:03:12
but I don't know that that was
1:03:13
necessarily because of that sandy water
1:03:15
No, his was still running when it was
1:03:19
under submerged in the muddy water
1:03:21
I mean it was like stuck and it was
1:03:24
underwater and it's only
1:03:25
going "weeee" and he killed it
1:03:28
Well then my other question was going to
1:03:39
be would a skid help stop that
1:03:42
But I guess if it's
1:03:44
submerged in water then no
1:03:46
I guess that if you have something to
1:03:48
keep the water out of it
1:03:50
while you're going through water
1:03:51
And it provides a void underneath there
1:03:55
and minimizes the water that might help
1:03:57
By the way I was going to try to sell my
1:04:01
factory skid, front skid
1:04:03
But I've actually decided to
1:04:04
go ahead and put that back on
1:04:05
I thought it really
1:04:07
doesn't weigh that much
1:04:08
And I thought it was kind of silly to try
1:04:10
to go out and spend $30 or $40 for a
1:04:13
sheet of metal and
1:04:14
make one when I had one
1:04:16
So I'm just going to go ahead and put
1:04:19
that back on and see if that
1:04:20
helps the airflow situation
1:04:22
Anyway let's try to get one more question
1:04:25
in here before we wrap this up
1:04:29
I think we'll play Weldman
1:04:34
Hey everyone this is Kurt aka Weldman
1:04:37
from XJTalk.com website
1:04:39
I've got a quick question for you
1:04:41
How do you guys
1:04:42
waterproof your distributors?
1:04:43
I hit a big puddle the other day with all
1:04:45
the melting snow up here in Wisconsin
1:04:47
And trucks started sputtering and
1:04:49
spitting because the
1:04:50
distributor got doused with water
1:04:52
Besides using a rubber condom or the boot
1:04:55
that slips over the distributor which
1:04:57
ends up holding in moisture anyway
1:04:59
I was wondering what you guys used and
1:05:01
how you went about it
1:05:02
I look forward to your answer, thanks
1:05:04
So I guess there's some dialectic grease
1:05:07
and stuff that you can
1:05:07
put in them can't you
1:05:08
Isn't there a way to
1:05:09
waterproof the distributor?
1:05:12
Dialectic grease around the
1:05:13
bottom of the distributor cap
1:05:15
And then on all the plug wires
1:05:16
number one get good plug wires
1:05:18
You don't have a problem with them
1:05:19
And if you end up do have a problem with
1:05:21
them later on down the road
1:05:23
You know the stuff that you spray on your
1:05:24
tent the waterproofs in the spray on your
1:05:26
shoes and everything
1:05:27
Spray the f*** out of everything with
1:05:29
that it will waterproof it
1:05:31
And Glenn XJRat in the
1:05:33
chat room says VO5 hair spray
1:05:36
Huh? Yeah?
1:05:38
Sure that would work just as well I'm
1:05:39
sure it's pretty much the same stuff
1:05:42
And you know I was mentioning earlier
1:05:43
that how he drives off road
1:05:46
I now know how he keeps his hair in place
1:05:48
and those radical moves
1:05:50
I think he's making
1:05:52
fun of you there Glenn
1:05:55
His hair was perfect
1:05:57
Yeah and any of the stuff that you would
1:06:00
be applying I would assume
1:06:03
That after you've gone through water it
1:06:05
would need to be reapplied
1:06:06
If you wanted to make sure
1:06:07
that it was continuing to be
1:06:09
Continuing to do the job of waterproofing
1:06:12
Because you know we can
1:06:15
hit water pretty high speed
1:06:17
And that's a lot of
1:06:18
pressure being forced up in there
1:06:19
And it's going to push
1:06:21
that grease or hair spray
1:06:24
Or what else was there 3M or Scotchgard
1:06:27
all that stuff it could affect
1:06:30
You know with the tint spray the stuff
1:06:32
that you spray on your tint
1:06:34
I've done that a couple times on my Fords
1:06:37
because they were notorious
1:06:38
With getting water in these tributors and
1:06:40
the distributor sitting up
1:06:41
in front right by the radiator
1:06:43
And by the fan I would spray it one time
1:06:47
and wouldn't have to
1:06:47
spray it again for months
1:06:49
What is that stuff? What is that stuff? I
1:06:52
don't know what you're talking about
1:06:53
If you go to Academy it's a waterproof
1:06:56
spray that you spray on tints
1:06:58
Oh I'm thinking of window tint like the
1:07:01
stuff that makes the glass dark
1:07:03
Yeah no no it's a waterproof
1:07:06
spray that you spray on a tint
1:07:08
Makes your tint water more
1:07:09
watery, just more waterproof
1:07:12
You spray that on there
1:07:13
and it works like clay
1:07:15
Yes, tints
1:07:17
Not the female part, tints
1:07:19
And not the tinting on a window
1:07:21
But the tint's like you sleep in
1:07:23
Ok well we're about 11 minutes over what
1:07:25
do you think another
1:07:26
question or wrap it up?
1:07:27
Last year
1:07:30
Non-committal
1:07:32
So let's do... I don't
1:07:35
think we did Dalton's did we?
1:07:36
But the kit, the four wheel drive kit,
1:07:39
let's do Dalton's real quick
1:07:40
We did Dalton's
1:07:41
Did we do Dalton's? Oh that's right, his
1:07:43
was the death waddle, that's right
1:07:46
Who else do we have here?
1:07:47
Well we'll do Green Chevy
1:07:49
Hi this is Green Chevy and I'm calling
1:07:51
from Johnston, California
1:07:53
My question is where did the Jeep
1:07:54
Cherokee get the same?
1:07:56
That's interesting
1:07:57
Does any... I forgot to look that up
1:07:59
Does anybody have a clue where Jeep came
1:08:01
up with the name Cherokee?
1:08:04
Got me on that one
1:08:05
Don't know
1:08:05
I mean that sounds
1:08:06
like a Winopedia question
1:08:08
Wikipedia
1:08:10
Yeah Scott the question was
1:08:12
Green Chevy wanted to know
1:08:14
Does anybody know where Jeep came up with
1:08:18
the name Cherokee for our vehicles?
1:08:22
Yeah I'm sure it's an Indian thing but
1:08:25
What was the story behind that?
1:08:27
I mean there's Wrangler, there's...
1:08:29
I mean there is a Comanche
1:08:31
MJ Comanche
1:08:33
So I can see there was an Indian type
1:08:38
naming convention there
1:08:39
But it's kind of interesting
1:08:41
I guess the Cherokees as a people
1:08:45
Their warriors were brave and
1:08:48
they were able to go anywhere
1:08:51
And I don't know
1:08:53
I don't know I'm just guessing here
1:08:55
Yeah I don't know the answer to that
1:08:56
That might be something worth looking up
1:08:57
and putting it on there
1:08:59
I'll have to make a post about that
1:09:01
And see if I can get an answer
1:09:04
And we might get as many responses as
1:09:07
there are ideas as to how it came about
1:09:09
But it's a pretty good question
1:09:11
Where did it come?
1:09:12
We just accept that's what it is
1:09:14
It's a Cherokee
1:09:15
Some of us kind of think about the
1:09:16
politically correct
1:09:18
ramifications of said name
1:09:20
And you've got to wonder if that's why
1:09:22
they changed the name of
1:09:23
the Cherokee replacement
1:09:27
Calling it Liberty
1:09:29
Of course there's the
1:09:30
Patriot and so on and so forth
1:09:31
So it looks like they went
1:09:32
off on a different tangent
1:09:34
Of course I think that's after the
1:09:35
Germans bought the company
1:09:37
Or the Liberty
1:09:39
Okay guys, well...
1:09:41
Reenie I sure appreciate you calling in
1:09:43
I'm surprised we didn't
1:09:44
have more time for more calls
1:09:46
It's pretty cool that...
1:09:49
Two calls and that took up over an hour
1:09:53
So you guys are good talkers
1:09:56
I'm mad to not be in stock
1:09:58
of you good talkers, never
1:10:01
Well I much appreciate it
1:10:02
It's very welcome, I
1:10:04
always enjoy talking to you guys
1:10:05
Whether it's on the show
1:10:06
or in person or on the site
1:10:09
Well Reenie I'm going to let you go so
1:10:10
that you can bang away
1:10:12
at your keyboard at will
1:10:12
I know you've been
1:10:13
trying to keep it quiet
1:10:15
Alright man, I will talk to you all later
1:10:17
You all have a good night
1:10:18
Thank you
1:10:19
Alright, bye-bye
1:10:22
Well guys, that's another show
1:10:24
And in the can so to speak
1:10:26
Not to be confused
1:10:28
with any bodily functions
1:10:32
Hopefully it's better than that
1:10:34
And you know people are
1:10:35
leaving and the show's not over
1:10:37
I'm watching you, I
1:10:39
can see you guys leaving
1:10:40
Who was that that left, was that Glenn?
1:10:41
I think that was Glenn that left
1:10:46
Taking names
1:10:48
Well guys, we've got a
1:10:50
couple of contests going on
1:10:52
The FireWire contest,
1:10:53
the entry period is over
1:10:55
But we are doing votes
1:10:56
And it would be good if you could get on
1:10:58
there and vote for the best question
1:11:02
And the best promo
1:11:04
There's seven questions
1:11:05
that have been submitted
1:11:07
And there's three promos
1:11:10
Wednesday next week
1:11:11
We will know who the
1:11:13
winner of those two groups are
1:11:15
And then if, as long as
1:11:17
it's not the same person
1:11:18
If it's two different people, then what
1:11:20
we'll do is we'll do a vote on the promo
1:11:23
The best promo and the best question
1:11:25
And whoever wins that vote
1:11:28
Wins the performance distributor
1:11:30
FireWire kit 4.0 for the
1:11:34
Jeep Cherokee 1991 through 98
1:11:37
And basically it's a better coil
1:11:42
A better, a much much better plug wires
1:11:45
And surprisingly, they're red
1:11:49
And a rotor
1:11:51
And a distributor cap
1:11:55
So it's pretty nice
1:11:57
It even comes with an adapter
1:12:00
So that you can adapt the plug to the
1:12:05
To the new coil that goes in there
1:12:07
And since I got my CPS problem lined out
1:12:12
I haven't had a Lika problem with it
1:12:14
I had some issues
1:12:16
whenever I first got the kit
1:12:17
That's how I wound up
1:12:17
with two sets of parts
1:12:20
And the company, that company was good
1:12:22
enough to let me keep
1:12:23
them to do the giveaway
1:12:24
So the other contest we have, and that
1:12:27
one's going to be going on through
1:12:29
I believe the 28th
1:12:31
Is, and I've just drawn a blank
1:12:34
What is that contest?
1:12:35
That contest is
1:12:37
Ahh!
1:12:40
I have no idea
1:12:41
I've drawn a blank
1:12:42
I was thinking about the FireWire kit
1:12:44
Anyway, we have a contest
1:12:46
section, a contest forum
1:12:48
That you can read up on those
1:12:49
Get in there and apply
1:12:53
