So what you're saying is that's NOT how they do it?

Then what the hell have they been smoking???
That's actually my only real goal here, to give normies a little insight into how it actually is done, why things are the way they are, and how it's a lot easier for a guy on the internet to go, boy I'll tell you whut I'd do if I ran that there Stellllantus....

Maybe help people parse information they receive from other sources a little better.

Oh. So you're some kind of authority? ;)

TBF I get what you're doing and I, for one, appreciate it. Saying there's a lot of BS out there is an understatement.

My only gripe is any time you spill some tea, by the time I see the post the pic has been deleted. 😂

Not only that, politics man signed orders Youtubers interpreted anyway they liked, so obviously multi-billion dollar corps will make 10 year plans based on that.

Love how the Jeep world jumped on that and figured "hey, they'll remove this from my Jeep - the man said so". Funny stuff.

Like a woman in FL said years ago, excitedly jumping up and down (likely the most exercise she'd had in many years!) "xxx is going to pay my mortgage!".

I actually enjoy hearing and learning new conspiracy theories, like the moon is a space ship, or Paul McCartney was replaced by a MI6 body double after he died.

Not because I internalize them all and believe them, but because I can apply strong critical thinking to them.

Spoken exactly the way a lizard person would to throw us all off the trail.

So here’s a question. I was just on RubiTrux website (again).

They have one Glad hemi conversion for pre-order, and every other hemi is a JL. The ones in stock for sale, and the listings that have sold.

Why no hemi love for JTs?

I could ask them next time I’m up there I guess, which is frequently.

If you went by this forum, it's because everyone is waiting for it to come from the factory. So many people love to say they'd get one, but won't actually drop the cash for one.

I see that over and over and over out there in the general automotive world. So people looking to produce, or reproduce parts, for customs and classics don't ask "if I make this, how many of you will buy it", they say "if I get xx orders, I will make it - you must make a deposit". And guess what - those who jumped up and down over and over do it do it do it! I want one I really want one - hid under rocks when they say "deposit required".
They want it really badly - in print.

To your point - I suspect people believe if it comes from the factory, it will be a $1,000 option. Fat chance.

I have a CNC plasma cutter, CNC Bridgetport mill, 3D printers, scanner, welders...

And I don't make parts for anyone but me, because I rapidly learned how quick, *takes toke... holds... "Bro you should make those! I'd totally buy it in a kit so I never had to think and original thought", turns into 🦗🦗🦗🦗 chirp chirp chirp after I invest dozens of hours and thousands of dollars into material.

I might, maybe, convert 1 of those guys to a sale.

So I just go to work at my day job and contribute heavily to my 401k.
