just a quick question

What would we talk about once all the questions have been asked and answered? LOL

I typed search into the search function and this thread came up. ; )

Truckster, why do you always seem to be so aggressive to the newbies or those who don't know as much as you.

If you have nothing useful to add to the thread perhaps it would be better not to say anything.

Saves a lot of aggro all round

Truckster,
Yes there is, there is an little orange section under the menu bar which I still have to press "click here" to get the menu bar up, I still haven't figured that out. You little tricker you. ( major laughter). Hope you are keeping well. keep on typing those replies in, "cut and paste" works..............

Just a question about your bodylift for GQ PAtrol
I was told by Vic roads you must get an engineers certificate for 2" Bodylift
Because the steering shaft is more weakend, due to the slip joint being much closer to the end of the steering shaft!
They said if an accident occured due to steering shaft failure and someone was killed, you'd be in big strife!
PS Trying to get insurance for a Bodylift and 4" suspension lift is Murder!
Thats Why I took out my bodylift a couple of months ago!

Does it really matter. If you dont like it dont read it.

all the best

Truckster has your mouse got one of those wheels on it that you roll with your finger well just roll past the ones you dont like and dont read them.
Then you will not have to do uselles searches and post uselles information about how many times things come up. Some people may find it still interesting even though you may not. And as i said above dont read them if you dont like them.

I reckon Truckster likes a little bit of controversy. Don't you mate? hehehehehehehehe

Hey Truckster,
I agree with what your saying mate, but we are fogetting one thing here. Most new commers dont have any idea how this works. So they dont know how to use the search setup. I was the same when i found this site. I had NO idea how it worked and the most important thing to me at that time was finding an answer to my question.

Ohhh Roooo

There are more and more participants on the forum who do not know about the Search Function.....so we have to be a bit tolerant.

Tyres and batteries are the most important items on a vehicle and because there is such a variety of both products, consumers are unsure of what to buy. We all want a tyre that can do 100,000 clicks and a battery that lasts 10 years. And most tyres used are for recreational purposes and are invariably of the wide, tubeless variety. Therefor there is a lot of insecurity about tyres.

I take a middle of the road view on tyres. I run splits and buy tyres with an All Terrain pattern like Desert Duelers and an 8 ply rating. I hope to get 40,000km from the tyres when I know that it will cost me another $1000 to replace the five.
If get get better distances from the tyres I am happier. If these tyres do not perform well then I will look to another brand next time.

I normally skip the tyre questions when they appear as they are of no interest to me.

Today's novices become tomorrow's valued members??

Truckster,

Maybe its about time you put your money where your mouth is and paid the membership fee and joined.

Then you would really contribute to making this a better site instead of free loading.

thanks truckster.

Truckster, I agree, but first:

Do Hiclones make any difference?
What is better, Landcruiser or Patrol.
I am thinking of getting an Engel, is it better than Waeco?
Do you think as a nation we should get over ANZAC day or keep the tradition?
Bridgestone VS Cooper?

Now, now Bruce,

Did you do a search to see if the question "Does anyone know theres a search function on this site?" had been asked previously?

Truckster,

I also have a little sigh when i see the same questions being asked all the time, but i still read them. The other thing i do (normally) is let it be and not waste my time replying!!

But take this into account: What if someone Buys, waeco instead of engel, coopers instead of bfs or Toyota instead of Nissan and tells everone how good it is, only to have it break a few months later.

Now if some newbie uses the search engine to look up some of those products and hears nothing but good about it (from someone who's product has let them down a few months later) how will they get updated advice if the questions can only be asked once.

Thats why i think people will keep on asking those same questions, TO GET THE LATEST INFO, NOT INFO FROM 3 MONTHS AGO!!!

Cheers

He's just trying for Diamonds record so i'll help

time 7.12 pm. Where did all the tire threads come from. I cant see what could have happened to bring all those tire treads online

Any idea Truckster?????????????

Truckster some people are pretty rude to you here but you have a point. Not many people actually know how to use search functions and they are probably the rudest here. I have a Google search capability straight from my browser to increase the power of my computer on the internet.

David has asked in his programming that people search before they post. It is apparent they don't most of the time. It is good to do so as they then can refine their question to the point where they get the more specific information to help them.

I find this search engine to be very useful to see where some, including myself go off on the tangent.

Truckster I think all the questions have been asked about every thing so you will never have to post a question again just sit there and press that search button.
Or give one of those answers that always seem to be about you would not spend that sort of money on that.

Have a good one
Eric

GO_OFFROAD, "Perhaps if some people put more effort into solutions than problems, there wouldnt be so much bitching going on here.........." It's strange how your replies are always in the middle of this bitching...

This thread has now probably been done to death, but since I was one of those who started off the bitching, I will have one last go.

Truckster, I have indeed done a search using "Truckster". Despite what you said in your initial post to this thread, I was not at all shocked to find that most of your posts are condesecnding and full of drivel. I suppose we should all be so pleased that you sometimes deign to descend down to the level of us mere mortals

And as for accusing people who don't agree with you of being stupid, well that just takes the cake. even my eight year old knows better than to respond like that.

Perhaps the old adage applies in your case: "It is better to remain silent and let people think you are foolish than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

Just for something different, I did as you suggested and typed in TIRE in the search engine (admittedly leaving ticked only as 'topic' and only got one response. Maybe we should add a spell checker to the search engine as well.

what tyre presures do i run in my gq.
