People that don't contribute. For example, a guy comes on here with a legitimate question, gets a ton of answers and completes their project. They eventually learn a lot from this forum and start to do things others haven't before, and post pictures of their truck. BUT when you ask them how they did it or what steps to take they don't contribute an effing thing. We all know the devil is in the details with modification of anything and without that you might as well start from scratch.

Don't get me wrong, there are quite a few guys in here with a wealth of knowledge they are willing to share. So if the shoe fits feel free to lace it up and wear it. Don't be that guy.

That's a Big A-HOLE by definition. Most likley the worlds largest. Keeping something (anything) to themselves that may in-turn help others is the only way they can feel superior, - and that 's important to them.

A complete opposite to most users of this site and people in general.

Besides, they stink, - and it's our duty or obligation to let them know how much.

Actually I don't think it happens that much. I can recall only one occasion. It was one the first V10 swaps into a F150. The guy wouldn't explain or tell us what he did with the motor mounts to get the V10 to bolt down. He knew and let us know that he did. He caught hell from the users and finally came out with it. It took awhile though.

I'll tell you for a price

The secret was, all you have to do is flip the V8 mounts over to bolt down the 10.

OP, - While your waiting for replies you like, why don't you try PM'ing him, it might help. Sometimes it takes a little more effort, IF it really matters to you.

Just a suggestion.

Lol might sound kind of petty, but the guy found a way to mount up the newer Ford style tow mirrors to a SCAB, and it looked almost factory. I asked a couple questions and got very vague answers. So I decided to look through his posts and threads started and found he only comes here to ask questions and post pictures while contributing nothing. I suggested he do a write up on them, even a simple one. Like what year mirrors, how he wired them and what he cut to fit. I mean that's not much to ask I don't think. Haven't even seen the guy on here since.
