Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    It's lame man. They put a snorkel on it, but a tv on the floor? Yeah, that's a great idea!

        Woah!!! 10K? Well it will be something then I imagine.....best of luck...

        If I were to sink 10K into my Audi I'd be upgrading the Turbos, intakes & downpipes and get another 100 horse (for real!)...(and then upgraded brakes & suspension [and upgraded sound! - just as an added...] and some other stuff to round out the perhaps 7-9K worth...I'd be doing low 4s O-60 & quarters in the low 11s! ...maybe someday (if my current Turbos give out....)

        I can't fault you for wanting to upgrade your ride (way cool I agree)....but if I were you I'd invest in a good (fast & nimble) street machine so that you could benefit from the thrills on a daily baisis...where its at IMO....

          Last week, I've been driving the jeep on average about 70 miles a day around town. Don't assume for a second it's not a "street" machine as well! Actually, taking it out for a quick spin to the store and back is also a ton of fun with no doors and windows ... not only is it very easy to navigate in tight spots, it also gets the looks like nothing else I've seen. As far as quarter miles, I'll get there in a few minutes

          Yesterday I went and got me a professional grease gun and some mobil 1 syntetic suspension lube (good from -40 to +256F) ... greased up all the driveline parts, u-joints, and suspension parts and WOW ... it now rides quiet like a lexus!

          But although I plan to sink some money into it, I think I'm done with it for a while. I need maybe a year or so to save up and that will also give me a chance to see what it really needs. However, I'm pretty sure I will be regearing the diffs and going with stronger axle shafts. I'm not going to touch the engine as the stock I6 is fine ... it gets the job done for now but does need the right gears to stay in the proper power band with the big tires.

            ok, what i wanna know is...do you at least wear a seat belt? or a helmet!??

              Seatbelt always. Helmet no ... there's no need. The jeep does have full front airbags. One of the things I have planned for it is a complete cage ("roll bars") since the factory one is pretty flimsy though it will do a decent job on a roll over.

                I hate the fact that most chrysler bearings on the 4X4 vehicles are sealed bearings... i always feel safe when i richly lube the dang parts!!.. but you have to get the bestof the best grease for lubing your u-joints.. the cheap stuff will slick of and help for a few miles.. lol.. but the ynthetic blend is good.. what even better is the stuff i use to lube the chain on my bike.. no matter the speed or the weather or the type of road im on.. that stuff lasts!!.. and its easy to use... it comes in a spray bottle.. lol.. its like 18 bucks for about 16 ounces or so though...

                  Yes! I hate that the ball joints on my Ram are sealed. It's lame. If I want to service them, I will have to swap them out for Moog ball-joints.
