Makg

[ryan]

Nico used to turn from time to time at F150online. I haven't been on there for at least a year though.

Dunno what hole Jubean fell into...

Nico is active at RRORC

MAKG is one of a few forum members that i really wanted to meet, but will probably never have the chance to now

I remember two of the other members names on here - JuBean an Nico, anyone hear from them??

It's been a while but if I recall correctly, Nico was part of the mutiny with GBII that tried to hijack TRS with a mirrored site and when that didn't work, start up a competing site.

(cant comment on every single post)

But MAKG was awesome, articulate, and really did know his stuff. His view was usually from his degree background, Mechanical Engineering, and he would get truly technical and explain things to you.

Noobs got mad when he was blunt, or didn't tell them the solution they wanted to hear. Not everything is a cheap fix. Duct tape will not hold your oil pan on!

Trucks and engines are a science, broken down to particular mathematical formulas that are necessary to determine what needs what. He knew this, and half of TRS couldn't follow it.

I really wanted to meet Michael Gross, too, and I've been a logged active member on TRS for 9 years.

He answered the difficult questions many could not answer. Your "engine hard starting problem" is not one of those.

He drove an Explorer, too, IIRC, and he knew cars, not just Rangers. And even if he did confuse the SLA with TTB suspensions, its 2 years where the OHV carried on.

I left for a while, too. I got tired of the whiny bullshit kids that started trolling this website. Boggin, you were one of them, but I'm glad you have since matured a bit.

If he's liberal, so what? He loves RBV's. I'm moderately liberal, support our troops, went to fairly country school, think abortion is up to the woman, support the right to bear arms, helpful to TRS members, and will never wear a mesh-back cap. This doesn't make me a bad person. Perhaps rude sometimes, but never an outcast.

I wish he'd come back. Mainly to school some of the idiots on here who don't take our advice when we type it.

There's a guy currently in another thread with a "sound" coming from his front axle (it's not a hub-related issue). We told him to open his diffy cover and check his gears. He still hasn't checked it yet, and is convinced its his transfer case. Same to those Seafoam fanatics.

Your "solution in a can" will not help your bent valve train.

MAKG was very helpful to me in the threads on several occasions, even though he didn't even know it.

Long live TRS.

I like seeing y'all's screen names, the regular members who visit this site. Y'all are like the guys on the stool next to me in my favorite bar at Happy Hour.

Yeah, you were kind of a weinie back then.

Yeah, you were kind of a weinie back then.

Yeah. Yeah. Oscar Meyer even.

Lets see how long it takes for someone to recognize that line.

 

[LIMA BEAN]

Yep Boggin is our Wienermobile driver for sure.

 

[Boggin]

IIRC, I think GABII, Nico and some others were accused of copying the tech archive for another site, not for mirroring our site. JoelH aka CopyKat was accused of doing something similar as well.

A previous web forum host actually did hijack our site and mirror it as well.

But that's the short and sweet of things, I don't want to start a war or discussion over what all went on in the past and I'm sure that Jim Oaks would prefer that we do not turn this thread into a debate over what has happened in the past. Hopefully we can keep this thread on topic and not start a war.

we need a TRS reunion. like the trs 10 year anniversary. maybe if we get a 15 or 20 year anniversary i deffinetly want to make it, and with all the old original members of the site. that would be deadly

Actually, I've been here nearly 10 years now....

Just our join dates don't reflect it because they got zeroed out when our forums went down one time. TRS was in existence for a number of years before I discovered it and joined, so the next TRS anniversary would probably be the 20 year....

 

[Boggin]

yeah. ive been lurking since just before it was hacked when my brother was a member and this is how i got started on my first truck the 93 mazda, but i didnt sign up till just after the site opened again because i didnt want to sign up before i brought her home lol
