Yes I love all of Campbell's evil dead movies. The streaming series was great too.

I love the evil dead!!
I watched a documentary on the evil dead 2 and did you know that in order to get Bruce Campbell to scream the director poked him with a sharp stick? That explains why he kinda looked pissed off too. Heh heh

An interesting thing happens in forums where everyone starts parroting the same thing and "common knowledge" takes over.
Most experts aren't.

But is it cute?
As a gray haired old fart, most everybody is a youngster to me.
I covered my beam in my build thread. But it was a 6" beam with torsion springs. But you know, a beam is a beam and they are all the same.

This person isn't a youngster. It's worse. He's a manxster. He's got four threads he's started where he talks about his manx like its a person named Samantha I think? .

ive got to do better! Ive only got a baja called Lazy Mary named after the red ford truck in the beginning of Evil Dead.
And I've only got 146 threads that probably never helped a soul according to him.

Fine, lets whore it out just to piss him off.
He mentioned thru bolts. I assume thru rods. He wont post a pic, so we don't know. Again assuming, I suspect coilovers will be needed. Again no pic as request in the first responce by that og, joeseph. I didn't think coilovers will fit a stock shock tower. Well maybe one of those cheap shocks with the pretty crome coils. A beam is a beam, right?
We all at one point in time didn't know shit. But we had the people skills, and willingness to help them help us, to milk some knowledge from them.
Fifteen years ago, I didn't want to teach the youngsters in fear of loosing my job to someone cheaper. The new owner/mngt at least realize that after 25 years in the specialty trade of vehicle gate operators, I know and have seen shit that these youngsters can't comprehend.

well, there for a while several of us were busting Oprn's balls about his post whoring but in all honesty, after he slowed down / stopped the whole damn place slowed down, I prefer it when he does whore post. even if it is something just being parroted, that it turns out, is better because he kept thing moving. I told him we need him, he's like a good laxative that keeps the forums from getting all blocked up. hehe
so I say go for it , you post whore your heart out

Yeah, and sometimes I'm a postcount whore. Somebody needs to keep it flowin sometimes. I have no problem commenting on something I know nothing about when I think someone needs a boost. I think things have improved in the last year, it was getting really quiet in here there for awhile.

Aw, I think it's cute that he thinks all link pin beams and chassis are the same and one size fits all.

Ok. Now I'm pissed! He made Schepp talk about hairy stink holes!! That is just too much for me to handle, Where'd this guy say he was going to be? Somewhere in Idaho? Ok. I'm gonna catch a plane and go let this guy slap me for pushing Schepp to say hairy stink hole! Galdamnit! Entitled little shit! hehe

Oh btw, OP, this forum has been around for decades. I don't think your generic title is going to stand out amongst the tens of thousands of posts that probably had at least an ounce of effort put into them. Belittling people based solely on the fact that you didn't get what you demanded only makes you look bad. You're not convincing anyone. We got enough bad attitudes around here, like BFB, and we only put up with his ass because sometimes he has a good point and he actually cares about the forum.

You may leave now. Come back when you learn not to throw sand in the sand box.

@ 516swg
Did you not read the damn novel I wrote for you? I literally laid it out on a silver platter with links!
I bet you skimmed right over it like all the other posts. If you pulled your head out of your hairy stink hole you would have noticed.
Buy yourself the Buggy book and read it like the rest of us have.
Good luck trying to ever get any information out of us ever again after that.
You sound super fun to be around. The world is surely screwed if you already reproduced.

This is the most informative VW forum on this planet. If you can’t find the information you’re seeking. You should quit now. People have been doing the same mods for literally decades. Books have been written and published on this very subject.

BFB is one of the most knowledgeable people on here. If you took the time to see the pictures of what the guy has done with the VW platform you wouldn’t be bashing him like you are.

You are one sour grape.

[BFB]

wow you really got your feelings hurt. in all the time ive been on here and all the ppl who've been pissed off at me, ive never seen anyone make so many whiney posts one right after the other, no one.
I think you set a record.
good job little buddy!

you notice how everyone who posted said the same things to you? and yet they are all in the wrong, yeh ok.
I bet your the type that goes to someone to ask advice then tells them they are wrong.
or when you get someone to come over and fix the shit you can't , you tell them that according to the YouTube video you just watch this is how its done..


and this is coming from me, who's contradictory as fuck and will play devils advocate just for the sake of debating a subject. ( which a lot of people really don't like that apparently).

and if you think this thread is something for people to be concerned about being here for as long as the internet is alive, you haven't seen some of the other shit we've posted nor have you read any old threads from about 10 years ago. those guys would've made you cower in the corner like you were the new guy in prison about to become someone's wife.

[516swg]

Did you try the search button

[516swg]

To the earlier posts.... this is what I found.... a bunch of bs that didn't give any answers to the question. Have I made my point???? If I haven't. We've made a really good thread that some one looking for answers will find. We got 2 pages now. Idiots.

[516swg]

You made this forum a less valuable place. Good job. If I care enough. I'll search your user name and show how many times you've been useless

[516swg]

Do you clowns understand that the next guy who searches steering advice is going to see this bs post. And it turned into an argument in how to post and search. Do you clowns think you contributed to anything???

[516swg]

Should I start a new post with the same question, and or should I make a clause about stupid irrelevant answers?

I'll be at the Emmett show and shine if anyone wants to get past their keyboard and get a slap.

Again. Cupcakes, and respectful experts. I came here for advice. I asked a question. And derilects asked the same derelict question on every forum.

I would love for a confident individual to post his/her advice to the original question.

And remember clowns.... this is a searchable thread for years to come

[516swg]

Yeah... so helpful posts. How many are there? You cutie pies... it's not hard to do a search and see how many times you made useless posts. Nope cupcake. It's not Samantha. This one is yellow. Like I said. Man.... I should have titled this post sometime like......??????

What. Useless information that all you forum lurkers do to pollute the internet:

I wanted an answer and this post turned into a debate of stupidity.
