    So violent Ray, got some stress you need to unload?

    I have been there, I know my Jeep like the back of my hand and get guys telling me what is wrong or why it is not working.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    I hear you guys on the car parts. I'm rebuilding a 47 chevy coupe. I HATE going to the parts store. Looking for a electric wiper motor, what year sir? It doesn't matter small, its custom, what year custom sir? Just give a small wiper motor! Same with battery's. Its in my trunk dude, there- that one.

    I have been he ignorant kid behind the auto parts counter. It is kind of a loose loose situation. They computer does not have a way to look at individual components just make and model. I you don't give it that info it gets stubborn and won't move. I put a ford 9 under the back of my unlimited with a home made disk break kit and a high pinion 44 up front. I pulled make model enginge size and tranny and put it into a book then when I buy things I record the part numbers.
    The worst experience I ever had at a dealership
    me- I am looking for a crew cab 1/2 ton 4x4 with the big motor. Salesman- no problem I will pull some keys. I test drove 4 withe the wrong size motor I refused to drive a regular cab 6'2" 250 lbs and when I thought I found the right truck I drove it and the wife approved I went looking for the transfer case handle or switch an it didn't exist on that truck. What a waste of a day.
