Most of us down here in the sty think of this as “our place” to hang out and shoot the bull, share pictures and stories and with that a certain vibe develops based on the cast of characters participating at the time. We have our inside jokes that make most of us smile like “post pictures” or “$5000 budget” but I guarantee you that you will be hard pressed to find an automotive forum anywhere on the internet and find a less judgmental or more helpful group of guys and gals, if anything said to you up to this point in this thread is making you reply with “making demands on me” or “don’t follow the thread” I believe you are either “A” overly sensitive or “B” taking things out of context and are overly sensitive.
If this isn’t the right venue for you then probably best you go back to the cat forums (https://thecatsite.com) and not post pictures of your cat.
You say that you can pretty much do everything for yourself on the 55 and you clearly don’t need or want any of our help nor do you enjoy our company so I really don’t know why you are still here but I would encourage you to say anyway. As I’ve said before this is one of the best group of guys anywhere and as you’ll soon discover there are very specific FJ55 parts and knowledge and nowhere on the internet will you get better access to both. So let’s start over and let me tell you about some of the guys that have already commented on your thread and what they bring to this community.
The Grumpy guy from “GREAT STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE LIVE FREE OR DIE” @bobm is an incredible fabricator and he makes FJ55 body patch panels that wouldn’t exist otherwise and sells them for not much more than the cost to make them just to help the rest of us.
@Gordobe is a great dude, the first time I met Gordobe I was literally stranded on the side of a mountain and he stayed with us for 8 hours to help repair my 55 and make sure we got off the mountain safely.
@RUSH55 is a heck of a fabricator all around good guy, he is always one of the first guys to chime in and offer advice when someone has a question.
@Ol Yeller Has a really cool 55 project going on right now with lots of interesting content on his build thread, definitely worth a look.
@Megadoomer is our resident color coordinator, when any of us are struggling trying to find that perfect color the Doomer always comes in and nails it on the first try.
@scrapdaddy is a wizard with budgets, this man will show you how to really stretch a dollar when restoring a 55. It’s truly unbelievable how much he can accomplish with so little and how he has helped the rest of us do the same.
@LAMBCRUSHER You literally woke him up from the dead with your “I just got the deal of a lifetime” thread and we are all better off for it, Lambcrusher is a wealth of knowledge and has been MIA for a while now.
@wngrog If you want to take a picture or make rust shiny there is no better to ask.
@PabloCruise He is a wiz with dealer installed A/C systems and glove box handles.
Me I’m really good at origami, if you ever need to make a peacock from a waffle house menu I’m here for you.
I’m sure I forgot a few but you get the idea these are a solid group of guys and you should give them a second chance.
!! F*#$ing learn something new everyday 
!! Well said
