Speaker 3 0:48

I'm doing great . Good morning and happy not Valentine's Day , but happy St Patrick's Day .

Speaker 1 0:53

Well , it's always Valentine's Day here we're in a loving mood .

Speaker 2 0:56

Yeah , there's a lot of love to be , here Most definitely .

Speaker 1 1:00

How are things with the Lone Star Jeep Club ?

Speaker 3 1:03

They're doing great . Actually , we have had three events so far this year . We had our annual Polar Express run back in January up in Oklahoma . That's where we do a hat and glove donation drive and it's either warm or very cold . It was a great ride .

Speaker 1 1:21

Good . So was it both . Was it warm and cold ?

Speaker 3 1:25

It was cold , but not as cold as last year . At least it was in the double digits this year .

Speaker 1 1:29

Oh wow , Heat wave up there in Oklahoma .

Speaker 5 1:32

A little snow maybe .

Speaker 3 1:35

No , but we had some ice .

Speaker 1 1:37

Ice . Okay , well , that's what you got those big studded tires for I had ice in my drinks last night . Did you have ice in my drinks last night ? Did you have ice in your drinks ? I had ice in my drinks . Okay , well , that's always good to have that . So that's one event . What's the second event that you've had already ?

Speaker 3 1:51

That is our Valentine's Day run . That's down at Hidden Falls . We do that on or around Valentine's Day and in March , a couple weeks ago , we just had our 101 class . We're doing three of those this year , so introducing new jeepers into the club and how to actually use their jeep . So we do instructions in the morning , um , kind of a classroom hands-on instruction , and then we take them out and show them how to use the jeeps and then , and then you guide them home for drinks afterwards that that's right On the rocks .

Speaker 3 2:24

Yeah , on the rocks , we like it on the rocks , On the rocks .

Speaker 1 2:28

Yes , I know that you do .

Speaker 3 2:29

Now are you here in Houston ? Where are you ? I'm up in the Dallas area .

Speaker 1 2:33

I'm actually in Frisco . Okay , Frisco , and I'm sure that you have folks that are here in the Houston area that are members of your club as well . We that are members of your club as well , we do , we have several members down there , yeah , so you know based on my past club experience not with Jeeps but other clubs that there's always some crossbreeding going on within the clubs where you know . Hey , yeah , I'm also a member of that club up there in the Dallas area , and then they've got a few members that are down here as well . So when you have an off weekend , if you still want to do something , one of the two clubs has always got something going on .

Speaker 3 3:10

There's a lot of clubs up here , right ? So we have Lone Star , we've got North Texas Jeep Club , collin County , you've got some smaller clubs in East Texas and , you're right , there's people in a park , in all the parks every weekend . So if you wanted to go drive your Jeep you can certainly meet some of those other clubs at those parks .

Speaker 1 3:34

What is the favorite place to go up there in North Texas , in that area North Texas , not Hill Country , but the Piney Woods , east Texas what's a favorite place for a jeep gathering , to actually put your jeep through the paces , so to speak ?

Speaker 3 3:50

that's ? Uh , that's a good question . I think it comes down to personal preference . I . I like barnwell um , it's out in gilmer barnwell mountain recreational area . Um , I just love that park . It's big . There's a lot of challenges out there . Um , great camping area , great camping too . Um , a lot of challenges out there . Um , a great camping area , great camping too . A lot of people also like going down to mason . There's a park down in that area that they like to go to locally and we have our events . We have in the bridgeport off-road park . It's about an hour away . That's where we have our 101 class , not very big , but it's a nice park . They've made some , some big improvements . And then crossbars a couple hours away for us offers a little more ruggedness , if you will , in terms of rocks and some challenges . So but it's , it's all personal preference . I love barnwell , um , I I . I grew up back east and it's kind of similar being back east , you know .

Speaker 1 4:42

So it's just it's a fun park see , for me , I , I think that , and this is just me . I have no experience in this at all , but I'm just sitting there while you're talking about these parks , I think my first one would be something with like a pop-up that has air conditioning towed behind the Jeep , because it's light and that thing trailers sway in and all that stuff , because it's light , you can sleep a couple of people comfortably , get your camping gear , put your stove back there and do that sort of thing .

Speaker 1 5:15

And then , when you're out jeeping through the hills of whatever park it is , you got your campsite set up . So you play all day , come back to the campsite , have a few beers and call it a night , Figure out what you broke I mean , figure out , yeah , what I broke . Well , in that case I tell the club I've broken this . Can somebody come help me ? I continue with the beers and then they work on my car . See , I got it down .

Speaker 2 5:39

Do I not have it down ? So you're in Fantasy Park .

Speaker 1 5:42

I am in Fantasy .

Speaker 2 5:42

Park .

Speaker 1 5:43

That's right .

Speaker 3 5:45

You've down so you're in fantasy park , I am in that fantasy park , that's right . You've got it down . I do . The best thing to do is actually trailer your jeep .

Speaker 1 5:48

In that way , you can do whatever you want and if it breaks , you can just trailer it back , I know , but then now I've got to have to have another vehicle , the trailer the jeep and then I gotta yeah , yeah no , but have you seen the hybrid trailer and camper ?

Speaker 3 6:03

so the camper , that's a flatbed . It's big enough to hold a camper like a slide-in that goes into the back of a pickup truck .

Speaker 5 6:11

Yeah .

Speaker 3 6:11

So that's attached to the flatbed and

Off-Roading Parks & Camping Fantasies

Speaker 3 6:15

then there's enough room to drive your Jeep and park it behind your camper . So you can actually .

Speaker 5 6:21

Is it really a camper slide-in that somebody puts on a trailer ? Similar ?

Speaker 3 6:25

Similar to that . I've seen both . I've seen the slide-in that's been attached , and then I've seen where someone's removed the wheels and the axle from a trailer and attached it to the flatbed .

Speaker 1 6:35

That would be over at Mars' neck of the woods , you would do something like that . But here's the real question , tim . So does your wife know that you know this sort of thing ?

Speaker 3 6:46

She does . She's very supportive of my hottie , but she's not able to actually go off-roading because of some health issues . But up until then she was very supportive of it . In fact , one rare thing happened when I broke my axles in Hot Springs springs , arkansas . I called to tell her about it and she her first response was well , you know you wanted to upgrade to one tons next year . Why don't you just do it now ? So I can't think of a that's a good woman there I'm telling you that's a good woman .

Speaker 1 7:16

yeah , of course she's not married to her anymore , but I don't know . Uh , yeah , listen , I think that if I'm going to go off-roading and have to worry about breaking an axle at my age and experience , I'm out , I'll stay back . No , no , I'll stay back . I'll manage the campfire , the cold beers and I'll do my own thing .

Speaker 5 7:43

Have the s'mores ready to go whenever we get back To him .

Speaker 2 7:45

it's like breaking a hip .

Speaker 1 7:47

Oh yeah , that's true , it'd be like breaking a hip . No , broken axles , no .

Speaker 3 7:52

Just be careful , I'm waiting to blow an engine so I can do an LS , oh boy , or an X .

Speaker 1 7:58

No , I think that if I was going to do that , I think what I do is , instead of buying an lx or something depend , ls , something that's dependable , I think I would consider going and find , finding a real american motors v8 and go the whole retro route elephant motor yeah , and put that in there .

Speaker 5 8:15

Yeah , yeah yeah do you have any ? Do you have any jeeps in the ?

Speaker 3 8:18

club that have any of those motors in them um , not a elephant , but we've got , of course , 392s in the club , um , and we have some older model jeeps that they have the v8 in them . Not a hell of a thing , but we've got , of course , 392s in the club and we have some older model Jeeps that have the V8 in them .

Speaker 1 8:28

I see it , I would have to go with the American Motors V8 because I have no experience with them , but I understand that they're pretty good motors . They're made in Kenosha , wisconsin . I mean , come on , mike , hey , I'm giving you credit .

Speaker 5 8:41

I'm just saying something like that . You would not necessarily want to go out and rock crawl it because you'd want to take better care of it .

Speaker 1 8:48

It's kind of like a restored car , but no , no Sleeper , because those motors can be had and , from what I understand , they're pretty stout and able to take the mess up . Yeah , I would do that All right . Take the the mess up . Yeah , I would do that all right with the , with the , with the four speed manual transmission in there , lockers where you have to get outside , get over there and , you know , get in the mud or between the rocks and lock up the front axle on the side , we could go to hertz , rent a jeep and go on the excursion .

Speaker 1 9:20

Yeah , well you could yeah like this does hurts this hurt does hurts rent .

Speaker 2 9:25

I just threw them out there as a plug .

Speaker 3 9:28

Probably not with 40-inch tires .

Speaker 5 9:30

Definitely not with 40-inch tires .

Speaker 1 9:32

So there's your expense . You'd have to go and buy yourself a set of 40-inch tires and I know you know people in the Jeep clubs that you hang out with Somewhere in that somebody's got a set of those 40 inches for sale .

Speaker 3 9:46

Oh yeah , yeah , they're out there . Yes , they're out there . But with an engine like that you might as well put a bigger lift on it and go to 42s , of course , because you're going to have the horsepower to manage it . And then you know gear it 532 or you know 538s , gear it down really low . So you have that power . With those gearing and those big tires , you'll just like just walk up I'd kill everybody .

Speaker 1 10:07

I'd kill everybody . I would . I mean you . You couldn't compete against me . Yeah , hey , what do you got underneath the hood ? That's an amc . This is straight six . A 1970 model on each side , on each side , yeah well , the quick change pumpkin .

Speaker 1 10:21

You can change the ratio all day see , the problem with talking to you , tim today , is the fact that it stirs up all of these what's left of the few brain cells that I have left , thinking . Let's do it this way , that so we're going to have a tour , we're going to plan a tour , we're going to do a rock crawl event every other month , beginning now , all the way through the fall . We'll be done with the six-month tour .

Speaker 5 10:46

Okay , yes , I keep going back to his trailer with the camper on it .

Speaker 2 10:51

Of course you do no , no .

Speaker 5 10:53

But see , instead of getting a camper out of the back of a truck , go down to the portable building guy .

Speaker 1 10:58

Get him to build you a little building a little house on there , better yet , let's go the whole nostalgia route and let's find one of those truck bed bed mounted campers out of the junkyard . Now you got a job .

Speaker 2 11:13

Or you get a rollback , roll it back . Well , by the cab , you've got your compartment where you stay , and then you got on the back of the rollback .

Speaker 5 11:22

I want more room than that , then we can lower it down .

Speaker 2 11:24

You roll your Jeep off Now .

Speaker 5 11:25

I have to take the 40-inch tires . You , you lower it down , you roll your Jeep off . Now I have to take , like , the 40-inch tires . You know you put them inside your little building in there , and that could be your chairs . That's how you could carry your spare parts by using them as chairs to sit in .

Speaker 1 11:36

One of the many reasons that we have Mike Mars on this show is because he brings a different look at things

Broken Axles & Jeep Modifications

Speaker 1 11:42

. He's innovative , innovative and from very deep East Texas we're talking about Nederland , texas that you've never even heard of before . It's over in the Golden Triangle area , but it's a different mindset over there and he brings different ideas to the show , like that Thinkers Yep . And I noticed that you're not saying anything . Tim .

Speaker 3 12:04

I have no response to that . He's an off .

Speaker 5 12:06

Well , at least I didn't bring up the idea of cutting a hole in the bottom of it , like you do for ice fishing , except you'd use it for something else .

Speaker 2 12:18

My mind is spinning .

Speaker 3 12:19

I was thinking of all the different camper types out there . You could put on a flatbed .

Speaker 2 12:23

Yeah , you could build one yourself .

Speaker 3 12:25

Yeah , but you want air conditioning . You want a sink in the toilet .

Speaker 5 12:28

Oh yeah , I got an air conditioner in the garage I could put in it .

Speaker 3 12:31

There you go , you got to get it Run the generator .

Speaker 5 12:34

Yeah yeah , and that way you got a winch to winch your Jeep up onto the trailer .

Speaker 1 12:37

Mike's got all the parts and pieces . If it's not in the garage it . When's the next event for us Houstonians to come up and be with you , so to speak ?

Speaker 3 12:54

So we're actually headed to Barnwell , where is Barnwell .

Speaker 1 12:57

I've heard of that .

Speaker 3 12:59

Outside of Gilmer Texas .

Speaker 1 13:01

Okay , where is Gilmer Texas ?

Speaker 3 13:03

Gilmer Texas is in East Texas . It's north Halfway between it's off of I don't know it's off of 59 , I think 59 and 20 ? 159 , right yeah .

Speaker 5 13:17

I think it's above 20 . I think it's north of . It's about 20 .

Speaker 3 13:19

Yeah , it's between 30 and 20 .

Speaker 1 13:20

In other words , you're kind of up there in the Arklatex Piney Woods .

Speaker 3 13:26

Yeah , it's in the Piney Woods .

Speaker 1 13:27

Piney Woods . In the Piney Woods , yeah , there's a ghost out there too .

Speaker 3 13:31

I've heard that .

Speaker 1 13:33

Yeah , well , yeah , if there's any ghosts to be found , I guarantee you they'll find me . I don't know what the draw is , but I guess it's the entertainment value Because you're a spooky guy , that's what it is well tim how much fun is this tim mahaffy with lone star jeep club . We , we , uh , we love talking to you , man , it's uh , it's tons of fun and , uh , we want to come up there and we want to hang with you guys at one of your events . Would that be okay ?

Speaker 3 14:01

Speaker 2 14:08

You see a Jeep pulling up with a trailer and an outhouse on it and another Jeep behind that , then that'll be us .

Andrew Arroyo allegedly injured 10 people , with six sustaining great bodily injuries . According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office , video of a person allegedly to be Arroyo backing a small SUV into the store , turning the vehicle around and driving out the other side of the building circulating online . Arroyo was arrested by Englewood police . He was charged with one count of attempted murder , nine counts of assault with a deadly weapon , all because he got ticked off at the appraisal of a used car . Dude , if it's that bad , just get up and leave what ? Yeah , he got ticked off . So his bail has been set at $1.3 million .

Speaker 2 20:28

And they were going to give him $1.1 million for the car . So there you go . He's lost money already Already .

Speaker 1 20:32

A million dollars obtained through a July settlement with Vroom . Remember Vroom ? Oh yeah , former online retailer used vehicles that $1 million to be paid out to consumers affected by the company's shipping delays , according to the Federal Trade Commission . Affected by the company's shipping delays . According to the Federal Trade Commission , vroom agreed last year to pay a fine to settle FTC claims . It misrepresented inspection work done on vehicles it sold , failed to offer buyers timely refunds when it did not deliver the vehicles on schedule and did not make certain other required disclosures . Checks totaling $943,000 are being sent to 20,361 consumers . Now you do the math . What is it ? $18 , a person or something ? Vroom of Houston . Did you know that ?

Gladys , where's Martha ? Come back here . Ineos will replace a door button mechanism on all Grenadier sport utility vehicles made before April 19th last year , according to reports filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety . Don't replace it . Okay , the parts were assembled without enough grease being applied , the company said , leading external buttons on some vehicles to stick and cause doors to open mid-journey . Ineos will pay for the full cost of the repairs and funeral expenses .

Speaker 5 22:19

Let me make sure I understand this . You're going down the road . The button that's perfectly fine suddenly decides to stick in the open position to cause the door to go open . Okay , don't touch that .

Speaker 1 22:31

But environment environmental protection agency said uh , it's starting efforts to reverse the biden administration's vehicle emissions rules that would force automakers to build a rising number of electric vehicles . They're not selling any , so why would you build more ? The action is the latest in the Trump's administration sweeping moves to undo the prior administration's efforts to prod automakers to build electric vehicles after rescinding a push to make EVs at least 50% of new vehicles by 2030 . Goodbye . Union . Leaders at Ford's Germany-based business fear an increased risk of bankruptcy for the automaker's European operations , despite a $4.8 billion cash infusion from the US .

The automaker said it will invest over four years in a business improvement plan aimed at restoring profitability in Europe .

Speaker 2 23:37

Yeah Well , they're trying , yikes .

Speaker 5 23:41

Did you know it was that bad ? No , it kind of . I don't live in that kind of world to understand where putting a billion dollars into something doesn't fix it . I mean to me that you ought to be able to do whatever you want with a billion dollars .

Speaker 1 23:54

They pay the CEOs $26 million a year to know this stuff . Hey Bob , where you been for the past few years ? Hello . Counting his money .

So build them as fast as you can . We'll store the parts and hopefully get these cars out before April 1st or April 2nd , I guess it is is the deadline , and we'll just play it by ear and see how it goes . And then they park the car and park it . Elon Musk says he's running multiple businesses with great difficulty , as Tesla stock fell 15% , wiping out gains it enjoyed after the tech billionaire took an advisory role with the Trump administration .
