Marlon, that door looks really good. Is the opener nice and quiet? Ours here has always been incredibly noisy - I'm thinking it's time to replace it.

As for appliances...Seems like the brands are all made by the same manufacturer. We used to like Whirlpool but not anymore - asked about Maytag and were told they're made by Whirlpool. Seems like all we're left with is LG - which is Korean. Nothing against Korea but I'd like to buy American-made appliances.

Oh well - I'm done b****ing for the day! :evil:

Bob

Thanks.
It's a belt drive, so yes it's really quiet. Hearing the door go up and down the track is louder! But noise doesn't matter to me with a detached garage anyway.

In regards to Andersen... I think we're all talking about two different companies.

OK after seeing endless JKs with small lifts/33s/35s and then original spare mounted on the back and all blinged out with everything you can buy from a catalog,......I am starting a new phrase. remember you read it here first.
RUJ's pronounced ????
Rich Urban Jeepers

Several years ago now when it became the fad for Doctors/Lawyers etc to start riding Harleys
they became RUBs , Rich Urban Bikers. Before that people worked on their own rides, had a great time riding together, then the RUBs came in knew nothing about bikes, piled on the chrome and bought leathers and suddenly they were hard a** bikers. Thats when I started to lose interest after riding Harleys since the early 70s.

So a lot of todays Jeep owners are the same way. They buy one due to its the thing to do, they'll never use 4 wheel drive, but they're keeping the 4 wheel drive shops hopping and Marlon and Rob working . :ROTFL:

So these folks are doing the same thing to me as the RUBs did, they don't have a clue what lift they have on, what kind of tires even are on their Jeep, all they know is they have to have the look.

OK rant over

You wasnt ranting! YOU WERE PREACHING! :pepper:

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Tue Jul 23, 2013 2:39 pm

Tom, that's not fair. You forgot Rob.

I think I'll go outside to the garage right now.

Got him now :wink:

Going out to run the garage door up and down? :mrgreen:

I remember the first garage door opener I got with an overhead door ( before that I had the barn door style swing outs)
WOW I felt like I was hillbilly rich for sure !!

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Tue Jul 23, 2013 4:16 pm

Got home at 4:42 in the morning. Pushed button, door opened, pulled in, got out, locked Jeep (also a button), pushed another button on the garage wall and walked in the house.

So. Much. Freaking. Easier. Made it worth it right then and there.

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Tue Jul 23, 2013 4:41 pm

Haters are everywhere I swear. Someone has already asked me why didn't I grab a chain or screw drive opener, and save some money, since I didn't care about noise?

Well I have experience with a CHAIN drive and CHAIN DRIVES SUCK! I don't know much about the screw types so I just left those alone entirely. So I went with a belt drive...

Dang questioning people!

I know what you mean. I doubt I've ever bought anything in my life without some jackass coming along to tell me what I "should" have bought instead.

I think it's mostly jealousy. :wink:

Tell them last time you looked the place was in your name so you got what you liked.
or
tell them you picked the motor due to the color didn't care if it was chain, belt or screwed

So Tom, now that you've coined the phrase maybe we can get a sticker - "anti-RUJers" or something like that . Like John 3:17 said - you were PREACHIN' it Reverend! :pepper:

I feel like I should drive my Libby through a muddy field just to be sure I'm not falling into the Jeep bling crowd...

Bob

You know you're a RUJer if you...

just found out today that they are letting the other guy in my department (who has similar duties to mine) go. The budget belts are tightening at OSU. I'm just glad I have my job.

Glad you're hanging in there yet.
Its no fun when that happens for sure in any department, makes everyone a little jumpy.
I saw three before me go over an 18 month period, didn't think it would get me,.......
BUT it did. :banghead:

Kept hoping for just another 23 months .................... :JEEPIN:

Oh yeah. You should have heard the backlash at work when I traded in my WK for a KK.

ALL from people driving raggedy pieces of crap. So you're probably on to something.

I only bought this one that I have because it was on clearance. I really wanted the wireless keypad and this one had that feature.

Sorta like this guy at work. He tells me what I should of paid for my house, he has gone bankrupt twice and lost 3 houses. He tells me I should of bought a Harley, his is always broken and never seems to run right when it is out of the dealership. He tells me how I should talk to my wife, he has been divorced 3 times and his dog ran away.
Some people just love to give advise but never seem to have things straight themselves or just love to hear themselves talk. :shock:

If your happy with the door then that's all that matters!
I know I would LOVE to have a new door WITH an opener. I could care less if the opener was a monkey I had to feed daily as long as he cleans up his own scat. The downside, I need 2.
:jester:

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Jul 24, 2013 11:35 am

Confused .............
