Yeah, Robert left jeepforum.com too after some jackasses started flaming him for liking the revolver shackles. Of course, Robert has tons of pictures to back up every claim he made, but there were a couple of idiots over there who just keep giving the "I heard they were bad so you're wrong" and started getting personal. Robert left (I don't blame you one bit) and has now found greener pastures where one can tell of their experiences and state their opinions and will only get flamed by Minquez (JK minquez, just got through arguing with someone on gun control and I though about how civil you were when we had a disagreement).
As far as the revolver shackles go, I haven't seen anyone have a problem with them, and Robert seems to have definately put his through about every imaginable task. A friend of mine bought a jeep with revolvers and had reservations about them, but so far they have performed great. I'm sure there are some people out there who have had problems with them, but there isn't a single product made that somebody somewhere hasn't have a bad experience with. Robert, glad to see you found another board, and the people here are about the nicest you'll find on a jeep board. I was sorry to see you no longer posting on jeepforum but totally understand. Oh, and your VEX is one sweet rig. You can look at my sigline and tell where the initial appreciation comes from, but I'm afraid you've outdone me on the mods a little bit. Ah well, with two kids what do you do? I'm doing well just to hold on to both jeeps right now.
I'll be damned. The most eloquent post I've seen on any of the BBSs yet, and the ones (6) I post on are just great!!!!
Well, you are posting around this BBS with a signature that contains
TWO TAN-CREAM COLORED CJ JEEPS!!!!!!!!! My Lord, a fellow crazy bar none. I love ya already!
Thank you for the warm welcome and your own take on things which is exactly as if I was writing myself. Thank you, what a relief to read those words. It is good and fair to see that others see exactly what transpired and put themselves in that situation.
REVOLVER SHACKLES
So, far, this is my 8th week with them and so far I am pleasd with them but am still testing them and trying to get them to fail on me as the dissenters against them have claimed. If they do, they go bye-bye, of course, like so many other things I've tested for myslef over the years.
Tomorrow 6 of us are going back to the Pilot Knob area about 4 miles from the house--high steep inclies, rocks, snow and ice, and mud on the first part. We'll see again if these are going to screw the pooch by unloading and casuing trouble.
If you ever have trouble with keeping both Jeeps, for real, and since I have no one on Earth now, until I marry one of my Asian girlfriends, sell me one of your Jeeps and I'll give it right back to you. Should help you iff needed. A man should never lose his jeep(s) for being good and doing the right thing.
Thank you, whomever you are!!!!!!!
Robert
