Not ANOTHER Newbie!?!

[Rusty Shackelford]

First Land Rover ever (02 D2 - bone-stock), long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks for all the info shared, I really learned a lot so far!

Now to make this thread "technically compliant";

I just searched over 1,000 threads, and apparantly mine is the only cd-changer in the world that skips/delays every time I drive over a ladybug. Highway expansion joints? Forget it. Off road? :smilelol: I have been experimenting with shock absorber systems for under the unit with no success (not that any of you perfect-cd-changer-having-veterens even care...) but as soon as i cry "eurika!", i'll share pics and install info on the appropriate page.

But, if anyone can spare me another trip to "springs and pieces of foam R us", I would really appreciate it!

thanks again for a great site

Want music that wont skip, get a hard drive or hook up your i pod! never have to worry again! holds a lot more than a pathetic 6 cd changer!

 

[Roving Beetle]

I have a perfectly functioning CD changer you can have for any reasonable offer at all, really, any. Or I love trades for anything - parts, tools, hookers and booze :dancer:

OK, maybe not the hookers and booze...... wifey may not like that one too much! :drool:


I will never use the CD changer again so if you want it I can box her up to ya'.

Thanks guys, I guess I finally have to step out of the stone-age and hook up with some technology.

I was wondering why 900 of the 1000+ posts in the search were selling cd-changers!

And sorry Roving Beetle, i wouldn't trade any of my tools for the world (or any of my hookers for that matter!) - but I do have a mess of extra jeep parts if you'll trade for an i-pod...

:rofl: Good one!

 

[Rusty Shackelford]

Yeah, I cleaned the living crap out of it, I even had my shocks checked..they're fine, i've tried just about everything - the good thing is that the Magellan Crossover GPS i'm looking at is also an MP3 player, and Atlantic British sells a cable that allows use through the factory stereo (it plugs into the cd-changer harness, so that may be the solution).

If my next shock absorber experiment fails, I might just have to reluctantly enter the 21st century...I've also considered XM radio, but i have enough monthly payments to worry about.

Oh, and smelly pirelli, nice try...FED!


No really, I'm about 90 miles North of NYC

im 10 mi east of syracuse!

 

[Roving Beetle]

No worries.... get an Ipod already! Used ones on flebay are cheap.

Just thought I'd offer and i understand about the tools and hookers - my tools and womez' are not for sale........... or loan either!!!! LOL.

The CD player is coming out from under the seat so I can instal a power converter anyway so it will just sit in my shop 'till someone needs the thing.

Doug

 

[Rusty Shackelford]

yeah, Roving...thanx anyway, i need the space under the seat too, for my pisto...my power converter, yeah - that's the ticket!

no takers on the jeep parts? really?

and Smelly, is there any wheeling up by you? because i thought the entire east coast was private property...those guys out west don't know how good they've got it!
