XJ: Yumpets ELMO

[yumpet]

Don't good afternoon me Andy, what you done is the worst thing
I could have ever thought too do to a fellow 4wder and even
Worse you WERE a fellow jeeper, we have always been a tight nit
Group but you just ****ed that for everyone.... your decision I
Believe was made in haste considering you didn't even have the
Decency too talk to me about it or even ask me personally how
I went about anything; I had an engineer I was going too see
Just north of coffs (the same engineer who has been receiving
Photos more often then the forum), I was not interested in a
Mod plate cause if you read the thread, I am moving back too
NSW, you have single handedly cost me another $2000 for a car
Hire and trailer hire too move my car, that’s alot of my kids
Xmas presents I can no longer afford, you also ****ed Xmas
For me, my wife, my kids and the kids grandparents that have
Not seen their 5 year old grandson and 2 year old granddaughter,
That just started saying poppy after months of trying too getting her
Too for him, for that ill never forgive you and believe me when I
Say do NOT EVER even look at me at any jeep event we may attend
At the same time cause I don't know what ill do, too me you are
Nothing more then a ****ing loser with no idea about anything
Mechanical, no brains and no comradery, you might aswell ****
Off out of Australia mate cause what you done was down right
UnAustralian, so from the kids, **** you, from the wife, **** you,
From my parents, **** you, from the wife’s parents, **** you,
From my brothers, **** you, from the wife’s brother
(Who traveled 1000km too meet up with us in coffs) **** you and
Last but not least, from the jeeping community and me **** YOU

geezus, really sorry to hear about this awful situation.

I have only some queries...is the whistle blower a repeated offender and what gives him the right to decide what is safe or not? Are you an automotive engineer?

(edit) I realise he may have had safety intentions, but the heavy handed approach without further consulting the owner is what sucks hard (end edit)

From doing research on the type of mods described in this forum (since there are many US rigs done like this), AN XJ fitted with the LA kit, 33s and appropriate brake and steering adjustments/upgrades (as intended), will handle just as safely as the stock vehicle, hence why Yumpet has spent a god awful lot of money building his rig instead of some god awful tight arse fugly fabs.

Yumpet, ashamedly, I only started reading this thread today. God knows how I missed it, but to say that it was an enjoyable read (mostly) is an understatement. I won't comment on the dob in as my opinion is just my opinion, and my old man always told me, that opinions are like a*ssholes. .... everyone's got one

Mate, be proud of the fine job you did. There are jeepers like me who are so very unmechanically minded who enjoy reading these threads to pick up tips here n there and to see the fruits of others labours.

I see why someone might have issues in relation to safety after some posts about driving with the steering etc, but believe that the manner in which it was done was not correct. A PM to you may have sufficed.

Here is to wishing you and your family a merry christmas up the Isa way.

Hope to see the rig at Camp Coffs in 07.

Chris

It's a sad sad state of affairs when people with a comon interest such as ours can't be adult enough to speak one on one but take the piss weak back door approach. (The rest has been edited)

[yumpet]

Andy, Jack... whatever your name is... you are without a doubt the lowest wack job I have heard of for while.

No way can you be an Aussie, and you certainly don't deserve to own a Jeep.

Tosser.

All I can say is Jack I hope you spend your days driving around taking down every rusty unsafe shitbox's number plate you see or this report is really a low act. If you are so concerned about safety go do something about it don't just report one car from a community that you are part of. I am quite sure there will be extended damage to the jeeping community. So thank you for such extended ramifications.
