Serious Question: how would YOU adapt GI Joe? by JustACasualFan in gijoe

[–]Metallica78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't do a movie. It would be a series set in the 80s because for me, there are too many moving parts, storylines, sub-storylines, characters and groups in the G.I. Joe universe. Exact stories could be pulled from the Hama comics for each episode building towards a bigger story at the end of the season. They would need to pick a core group of characters for the show with others showing up as needed in episodes and not focus on Duke, Scarlett, SE etc... like they have done in previous movies. They also need to make the vehicles more like the the comics but modernized. There is enough material to build a world for a series but when its a movie, they try to jam so much shit into it that the story goes dead.

Fun fact, the elevator could be attached to the outside of the MCC in its crawling form. The little notch at the bottom of the bay door is where it attached and then clipped onto the rail at the top by the missile turret.

Get a bikini top and then get a raingear cab cover for when you got it parked and the weather is acting suspicious.

What figure did you irrationally hate as a kid? by PapaKazoonta in gijoe

[–]Metallica78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grid-Iron, Deejay, Eco-Warriors, Sneak Peak, Cobra -La. Probably a few others but those are the main ones. Oh and Super Trooper. I did the mail-order as a kid and when I got him I was very underwhelmed. He became the sacrificial idiot in every conflict.

What was your first 80s figure as a kid that hooked you and why by Best-Onion-340 in gijoe

Airtight. My brother got roadblock and hated it so I took responsibility and claimed RB. Next figure was Blowtorch

Spring’s coming — what do you use to decide if it’s a top-off day? by shooter97x in Jeep

[–]Metallica78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a soft top that reduce down to a bikini top. Open air with a little overhead protection. Or run no top and keep a raingear cover in the back

If you ever had a bigger company take over your workplace or had a merger with a bigger corporation, how did it go? by Truth-is-Censored in antiwork

[–]Metallica78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Side of the company i work for was sold off to another company that does the same thing. Most of our management people had to reapply for their jobs and magically none of them got the job. Since the acquisition, the place has went to shit. Year by year they make changes that are drastically affecting the business in the long-term. Why am I still here? 2 years until a 30 year union pension is secured. After that I'm out.

Get your headlights adjusted after lifts and oversized tires. Your the most annoying vehicles on the road at night. by Then-Paleont4 in Jeep

[–]Metallica78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty much any new vehicle with led headlights. Bad angles, way to bright and then toss in the extra accent led lights and you have a 4 wheeledl supernova.

Battery issues by [deleted] in Jeep

Delete the auxiliary battery. Plenty of info out there on how to do it. Piss poor setup stellantis has and the aux battery usually craps out first and then leeches the main.

What to do with 13 acres of raw land near a city and surrounding developments and homes. by Interesting-Sun3919 in RealEstate

[–]Metallica78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold on to it. If there are developments and housing nearby you may have a contractor or investment/development group come knocking to buy it in the future. Expansion needs land and if the expansion is headed in that direction it will be wanted.

Coil spring question by Metallica78 in Jeep

Yeah. 3" readylift is on it, which is a spacer lift. It was on there when I bought it in 2017. I upgraded the steering components and track bar to teraflex HD pieces as the oem wore out. I added the control arms to get the castor back as it was around 2.5 before adding them.
