Haha ! Ya I got caught chasing squirrels to and came across that in a round about way , it's crazy that he took pics that soon after . I want to know how long after that did he go to the hospital ? I thought about the same thing... Why the hell would you stop to take pics when you just lost several fingers and was probably spurting blood all over? I kept reading, and he mentioned that the only reason he did it was he had time to kill while waiting for the ambulance, and figured he'd at least take a few cell phone pics. Rob :dunno:

Rob, wouldn't that nice tailgate be so much sweeter if it had the Metric Ton badge on it? :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: Have one... And I know someone else who is sitting on one and won't use it... :redX: You know who you are. Rob ;)

After following links around to this and that, I came across this one in a roundabout way from the thread you posted... And felt really bad for this guy. Total accidental momentary lapse of thinking, that cost a lifetime. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=242261 Rob

Sounds like you need to go to the doctor and get a little advice. Rob

Is that Jerky!?! Oh My Word. Rob :drool:

Yep. Make sure it has no obvious problems, and take it somewhere. The cans at the parts store are bad ideas... Since you have no way to draw a vacuum to rid the system of unwanted air and moisture, you are just making things worse. Especially if you put in the cans with the stop leak. They are horrible for the compressor, and most places won't even evac your system if you've used the stuff, as the stop leak additive can ruin their vacuum pump on their AC machine. Air/moisture are the biggest killers of the AC system. Best thing to do is to make sure that visually all of your components are properly working, and that all the lines look good. Take it in to someone who can draw it down into a vacuum, remove the moisture and check for leaks, then charge it with the proper amount of AC and oil. Its not as expensive as you would think if all you need is a suck-down, leak test and recharge. R-134 is cheap, all you are really paying for is the machine they use. Ours at the shop is all automatic, I just set it and walk away. It draws the crap out, pulls it into a vacuum to boil the moisture out, then holds the vac and waits to see if it leaks, if it passes, it charges it with the proper amount of dye and oil. In reality, you have to be EPA certified to even take the cap off the service port (because that's technically opening the system if the Schroeder is leaking). If they wanted to nit-pick you, its a $32,500 fine for each time you could have released any sort of refrigerant into the air. I've ran into a local shop who got busted for not following the proper procedure and the EPA went through their records checking for any AC parts replaced. They counted up each time they replaced an AC part (A LOT over time) and charged them the $32,500 fine for each part. Bankrupted the business. Granted, the guy was a piece of work anyway, but none the less, that's a lot of money. Rob

There goes the neighborhood. Rob

As much as I hate to say it... Pics? Rob

Here are some brown recluse bites... http://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en ... =&aql=&oq= If at any point they turn into that... Your in trouble. Rob :ack:

Sounds like we should have a pretty decent group... I'm still trying to get into the archives for that weekend. Rob :cheers:

FSJ's are something I also dabble in. There are some out there that are a 4 door J-truck/Gladiator made under contract for the military. Rob

I am going for sure... Rob

If they start making lines from the area of the bite, go to the hospital IMMEDIATELY. Rob

'Nuff said. Rob :cheers:

As to what? Joking around? Can we not have fun? Pete, I miss a memo in the staff meeting? Rob :dunno: and I missed the memo about a mass murdering terrorist finally being brought down being a comical occasion. somber, sure. celebratory, sure. but not funny. it's down-right disrespectful. I thought you said he wasn't dead? How am I disrespecting the death of someone who isn't dead? Or is he dead now because you need a reason to argue and be difficult as usual? Rob :dunno:

wow. Seriously you need to get a sense of humor and take off the tinfoil hat birther routine, pat. :roll: :rotf: Rob

[hijack] build thread? [/hijack] Don't have one, but they are DIRT SIMPLE to put in. All you need is the console, and the ambient temp sensor behind the grill. As far as wiring goes, IIRC, its just power, ground, ignition, illumination, and the wires from the temp sensor. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jeepcoman ... 5/pic/list Rob

I ended up buying a whole 2.5L '96 XJ for $400 for the same thing your looking for... Ended up getting the axles, and trading away the Jeep for about $400 in parts... Best way to do it IMHO. Rob :cheers:

She told me they were owned... And since they have been sitting idle for 5 years now, with no payment or repossession, I think they are owned or forgotten rentals. Good to know that TSC does them though... I always forget about them and they are conveniently in town. Rob

Don't ask me why I am not a subscriber, but I finally picked up my copy of JP magazine today. Knowing we had a member in there, I immediately started flipping. Right on page 18, our own w_howey got it own section of a page from a comment left on their FB page... Attaboy Will. Rob :cheers:

Really... Hmm. Rob

Leave it to Fox News to tell us "Usama" is dead. :teehee: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/05/01/us ... y-sources/ Rob

Sigh. I would argue, but I know it won't get me anywhere. Not worth the energy to type. Rob

Worse than trump. http://www.hulu.com/watch/236319/the-to ... -statement Rob :shake:
