Welcome to the new thread " you might be a redneck if........ It's idea was born from the natural humor possessed by our membership which makes up the family called JEEPZ.com . Out of necessity , it is sometimes necessary to fashion a procurement as a solution to a repair problem . This prompts the natural instinct to call upon ones personal ingenuity to justify what is seen as fit for such a repair . From the mother of necessity was born , redneck ingenuity . I have personally seen this engineering done and found myself marveling at its simplicity but incredibly obvious method of engineering and repair made me feel I was so much in agreement with the technique applied. It is founded on the simple "where there's a will , there's a way " .
Ever since personally discovered , I have found that getting it done by what means necessary of available, you just get down to earth and do whatever it takes . Has been working for me ever since . I'm proud to say I learned it from a former Floridian ( haven't seen him in years ) transplanted to my home town of Staten Island , New York . One most ingenious repair was the recondition method of a front timing cover of a Buick V6 engine. He was dead against me spending over $200 for a replacement part. He took me to the shop he worked at and trued it on a belt sander with Emory cloth . By eye , and feeler gauge , he got the cover flat with no warping left and it sealed like new and restored oil pressure. Was as grateful as I was astounded at his backyard education handed down to him . I told him I had learned and got my start from my dad too and I think my methods were probably no different than his . He than said " I guess you got a little redneck in you ! " asked him to explain "redneck" and he told me, there is no explanation , you either got it or you don't . He said you make do with what you got , or the tool man gets all your money . Been make shifting pullers and pressers when I need to ever since. Sometimes more inclined to buy a tool , but I still prefer to keep this personal ingenuity that we all possess alive . Personal accomplishment is self gratifying to me , as is to all of us . We would not build our own jeeps , or anything for that matter if it were not a labor of love. I'm personally proud to say , " I got a little redneck in me too " . Got to respect anyone who gets it done with their own two hands and the gift God gave.
With that said , I'd like to announce the formation of this thread to give members a place to post what they may find humorous for the pure purpose of watching someone else laugh at what may be found funny and share it with all who need a good laugh.
Jeff Foxworthy's claim to fame was with this very line " you might be a redneck if....." And I have giggled at any post I read that a member said " redneck it " or used in any other capacity . All are welcome to share some good , clean fun and get your kicks and giggles out to see how laughter is the best medicine as my mom used to say . There are no rules , just respect for each other as has always been . If you've ever laughed at someone's home made ingenuity , or your own , feel free to post it here and share your humorous experience with the family ! Just remember , it's all good , clean fun , brotherly and sisterly love . Never any harmful insults . Or anything derogatory .
Enjoy this new thread , keep 'me coming and feel free to send me, Greg92jeepxj a PM if you would like,to,express any concerns or comments with regards to this thread . Thank you all for your participation and whoever laughs the most , wins!
