Personally...I would shake the ladder to hear him scream like a little school girl.

When I was about fifteen I was cleaning out the gutters on our two-story house. The ladder was actually over a basement stairwell (brick and concrete), so it amounted to a three-story drop. My dad shook the ladder, and yes, I squealed... :shock:

Then I (slowly) climbed back down the ladder and asked him why he was sending his poor kid up there. He looked embarrassed and said he was afraid of heights. I told him "So am I - now!"

Oh I am not afraid of heights, I am just afraid of the sudden stop right after a brief moment of skydiving with no time to open your chute you forgot to put on :shock:

Well other than when I was in AZ walking with my buddy up in the mountains at dusk when I came around the corner of a huge rock and about stepped off a few thousand foot cliff. That sorta made my heart climb into my throat and palms sweat real bad :-)r

Gotta finish the porch ceiling I started, I got it about 1/2 done. Then I have to strip the porch and do that epoxy procedure stuff, then power wash and stain the rails and posts. Then scrub the house clean. Then maybe go for a 2 wheeled camping trip if it's still camp-able weather :pepper:

Almost forgot :shock:

Gave Mr. Stumphumper a very hard way to go about buying a Honda back when he did.
Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll now me a proud new owner of a Honda Accord :shock:

BUT I didn't buy it or sell my Jeep to get it, I already owned it but my mother was driving it as her vehicle up in MI and she bought a new one so this one comes back to me :roll:

Now to go hoop jumping with the Ohio title office and DMV :banghead:

Fill us in man , come on!

VERY impressed with the performance :pepper:

It's like a different jeep. I was climbing hills that I could barely start before. I crawled through mud, not quite up to the rim but slippery. I don't have mud tires but the General AT2's did pretty well at 15 psi. I didn't have the ground clearance for some of the trails, the ruts were just too deep, and I still haven't installed my fuel tank skid :oops:

so no big rocks. My traction control only kicked in a couple times. Once was on a large and steep hill and the other was in the sand. The rest of the time I had loads of power and traction. By far, the best mod was to the axles. I know trutracs aren't true lockers but they sure perform better than any other limited slip IMO.

Ted, that's awesome! :JEEPIN:

Like Tom I'm surprised it wasn't muddier since we haven't had a 5 day stretch with no rain. Man, I've gotta get the 4.10's in the rear axle, gotta get the 4.10's in the rear axle, gotta get the... :furious:

Pack for the trip like you would if you were going camping for a week. I bought my Liberty in May in Virginia and between one thing or the other it took me about five different visits to get things done. :roll:

One of the reasons I keep everything down home and not up here.
I know everyone at the License Bureau/ Clerks Office etc, If I need anything done I walk right in / they know my name ( they even know my real name :shock:

) and I can change a title or anything like that in 5 minutes. Own land there so my drivers license/Jeep plates etc are all down there.

Was just talking to a buddy of mine down home and he sent this to me. Heard it years ago but still funny
An elderly man in Florida had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some orange, and lime trees.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, 'we're not coming out until you leave!' The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked..

Holding the bucket up, he said, 'I'm here to feed the alligator.'

Don't forget trutracs or lockers. Probably the best set up would be a Detroit locker in the rear and a trutrac up front. Selectable lockers would probably be better but way more expensive and probably overkill. I kinda like not needing to think about it and having traction all the time.

No actually I wasn't,
I was in California waiting for the doors to open to watch a special pre-release viewing of a movie that opened to everyone on the 10th.
You may have heard of it, Uncle Toms Cabin

Ted15 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 05, 2013 8:44 pm

I thought the first stoplight was in akron.

profdlp · **Posted:** Mon Aug 05, 2013 8:52 pm

What I'd like to know is, who got the first ticket for running a red light?

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Aug 05, 2013 9:01 pm

The world's first electric traffic signal is put into place on the corner of Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street in Cleveland, Ohio, on this day in 1914.
I think in bold is where it becomes confusing, there were traffic signals and such back in the late 1800s but the first electric traffic signal as we know them today was in Cleveland

So where was the first concrete street in the US that you can still drive on yet today?( or could a few years ago)
Hint, its in Ohio as well

It can't be the street I live on. It's concrete, alright, but you can't exactly "drive" on it. Fact is, I bought the Jeep just so I could survive the 100 yards or so from the main road to my townhouse. :JEEPIN:
