i searched, read, and got the info. if i had a specific questions, i asked it. "how do i swap a front axle?" isn't specific, and there is a HUGE knowledge base on multiple sites about it. if you told me seven years ago i'd be swapping axles and building a roll cage i would have laughed at you. i love helping, really i do, but this exact thread gets posted literally once a week.

I'm not gonna argue that but I remember when I did the same things, I was new to the site and knew no better. My point being its not his fault

that is simply not true. i know i did lots of searching and reading before posting on here. we should enlighten noobs to the vast resource that is the internet. the information is out there, you just have to find it. no sense in repeating it a billion times because people won't use google.


also, your english skills are horrendous. you wouldn't believe what some grammar and spelling would do to this forum.

When I was a noob I was able to take on axle swaps and building my suspension using just the information I searched for. this was about 6 years ago. There was a fraction of the information and resources out there back then than there is now. There is just so much to cover when doing an axle swap, I'm fine with answering questions, but not when they are such broad questions that could potentially have a million answers

Did u ever think that someone could search google and get all the info they want (like I do be4 I post) but I would rather have a forum that u know that someone did this already and you just want the ends and outs..example ....trimming my fenders. A million and a half post read a lot of them but still came back to this forum and asked the same question and you know what the guy that helped me on the forum gave me more insight in his to PMs to me then the days on google that I spent. And the only reason I say something is every time I have a post that everybody has already done u get....use the search bar use google...it is what it is...you just have some ppl out their that think saying use google is better help then someone that has been their and done that...me personaly I would like to have the guy that has done it that I can ask the lil questions to other then the humanless google...AND THIS IS JUST MY OPTION ....anybody else feel this way??????

You read about trimming your fenders for days and still couldn't figure it out? I think you might need to rethink your hobby...

i have a black belt in google-fu, but i like to help out where i can. starting a vauge thread thats been beat to death over and over never gets anyone excited. better to go through old build threads to find an example of what your are looking for, and then send a pm about it. and, sometimes when someone says "Google it buttnut", its really a short way of saying " if you do the research and cover all the bases first, we can answer some of the questions to the weird stuff you might come across on the way, plus you'll be an expert..." or something like that. I like helping someone who i can tell is really trying, not the guy who doesnt care to learn and just wants an answer cause he's lazy or impatient. whew.
