Dear AndyG,

I have a friend that's obsessed with Jeeps. He won't stop talking about his Jeep. Whether it's all the cool upgrades or all the trail runs he's been on, He just won't talk about anything else! It's like a sickness has come over him.
He spends bucket loads of money on his Jeep and doesn't look like he will ever be done adding some gadget or modification. He's got a garage full of parts and many are still in the box!
I worry about him as a friend of course that he's spending too much time online on social media. I thought for sure it was facebook he was on but it was actually some jeep forum!
What makes me think He needs to see someone is get this, He's talking about buying another Jeep!
I'm concerned that if I don't get him help soon, I'll be sucked down the "Just Empty Every Pocket" hole as well.

Oh AndyG, please tell me what I can do to help my friend.

Once he finds out I talked to you he will certainly play the victim. He'll then hurry over to the forum to consult his cohorts. Then he'll probably buy some part to make him feel better.



Sincerely,

Mr. Flair ,
First , realize your friend is a sick, sick person . Unfortunately , we don’t know the cure for this ...we always tend to think a new bumper or some led lights may help , but it just leads to another purchase. A bumper needs a winch , a winch needs a line , a line needs a fair lead ...it never stops.
The best thing you can do is help your friend ...normally by holding a light or handing them a 13 mm.

I wish I knew more,
Andy G

Dear Hog,
This is a sad dilemma , and it does reek of snobbery by the 4 door crowd.
Just remember, they will wave like crazy on the trail when they get that bus stuck and need a ride out .
Keep Waving , it will come back around-

Dear AndyG,
I cannot find a thong wide enough to hold my junk in place. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rob Sacks

Dear Rob,
Now that’s a problem we haven’t ran into much here , but being TJ owners , inadequate storage space is something we are familiar with .
If you can’t stuff it behind the back seat , like we try to do , and certainly no one will carry it for you , the only thing I can think of is spray paint the same color as your thong .
Let us know how that works , and please, please ignore the “ this thread is worthless without pics” comments.
Knowing you back ground , this does give new meaning to the term regear.

Hang in there,
AndyG
 
Dear AndyG,

There's a young fella where I work who just bought an '07 JK 2-door. He approached me a couple of weeks ago, and said that he wanted to make it more off-road capable, and then in the same breath, said he wanted to put an Angry Bird grille on it. I was speechless. How can I slap him even respond to things like that without hurting his feelings?

Thanks,
Bird Flu

Dear BF,
Tell him it is perfectly off road capable ..when his 3.8 dies, push it off the road.
As far as the grill, slap him and say "that's from a guy name Jerry Bransford." He will thank you later in life.

Dear Andy,
Recently, I was invited to join the Kentucky Jelly Wrestling club. I assumed it would be in a typical gym, (I need to work on my fitness lol), but it is in large shed/barn type thing out in the county. It seems really weird, some of the things are kind of...awkward, but they say it's just because I'm new and have not learned the rules of the game. I also don't like how they exclude women, I mean, it's 2020, I think it's time to realize women are capable of great things!
My question really, how can I get better and learn the rules quicker? We are supposed to have a big tournament soon and I don't want to be the loser.

Thanks Andy,

Dear Jelly belly,
Take peanut butter and bread to the next event , and see how that goes. Be careful what you bite into.
