I figured that's what it was but it was to good an opportunity to not post something funny lolLmao! I still call it a “page” but my office phone forwards emergency calls to my phone on the weekends. Then I call someone else and tell them to go to work if I’m not feelin it!

Nice work Mark. I know ball joints take some [emoji123] to do, it could be a breeze if you have a shop lift in you garage and have enough room the get in there with the impact wrench. Did you use an impact wrench for the u joints?
Also I think you meant to post that in a TJ build thread [emoji848].

I've got a pretty decent parts order ready to place now. The lift for the new Jeep is gonna have to wait until late spring though. I've got my 2nd hip surgery scheduled for the second week in December. If I raise the jeep up three inches and throw 35s or 37s on it and I won't be able to get in it lol. After I recover I'm all in though.Am just a mile away of need help with that lift [emoji6]

Lol that's perfect, I just need to find a disposable version, leaving one at every place I visit would get pricey lol. It's been a long year since I had my accident at work. I'll be relieved and happy when this whole experience is behind me.

I've been off since February 9th when the cfd took me in the ambulance to the hospital. Can't wait to get back to work!
Yeah I tip my cap to all military and first responders!! A truly difficult way to make a living, and you all have my gratitude. That being said, being lifted onto a gurney with a intertrochanteric fracture was one of the least pleasant experiences of my life lol. At the time I wasn't a big fan lol
