today I'm trying out a fleece pad under the knee brace. so far, it's much more comfy.

oh, and the red words are essentially telling you to transfer the speedo parts from the old t-case into the new t-case's hole.

using studs for the upper 2 bolts can help immensely with lining up the transmission.

he needs the bed and rockers. and leafs.

I'll ask. the pics he sent didn't show the tag.

and of course the obligatory: someone grab that bed!

the guy I'm buying a poster from also had this. never seen such a thing before. Doesn't say Jeep anywhere, so I'm guessing it's a dealership thing at best.

bug shield!!!!

same. I can hear them, but I can't see them. a huge thanks to Apple for making this far more difficult than necessary.

"as needed" is tricky since it doesn't hurt when I'm doing the right thing and it always hurts when I do the wrong thing. mostly we're just trying to reduce the swelling to see if I can drive again and get up north for the next step.

how loud are all these little compressors? the only experience I have with compressors is garage units and those useless cheap tiny things.

feel free to start a new thread and keep us updated on that DJ

you're describing most all Jeep projects.

victory!

now get out there and go win some car show trophies!!

Gabapentin, Baclofin and Ibuprofen nothing like compounding the "may cause drowsiness" meds.

all the pain was gone within an hour of wearing the brace and walking around and didn't return. definitely sleeping with it on tonight but I had a minor issue today. I stepped up my dosage on the one drug from 1 pill to 2 (was prescribed 2), but I had an episode of... "insufficient breathing" during a nap today so I'm going back to 1. and I might stop the pain med altogether. 20 years ago when sleep was trying to kill me due to my original illness, this happened a lot. it's very scary and I honestly want nothing to do with any med that might cause it. but I'll stick it out a bit more at the minimum dose. I think the brace helps more than anything else at this point.

great idea!

it's hard to say if it's an original meaning or a reused code. a lot of the old info is lost to us.

makes me so happy to hear that. over the last couple decades I've heard countless stories from guys that paid near nothing for their trucks and seemed determined to keep that truck cheap purely because it was initially cheap.

it says it's 4x5' which would be too small.

I paid 2.75 for gas in Alabama. back home near atlanta it's 3.19ish

so it sounds like we need to check for power coming out of the turn signal switch. I don't know which wires colors to check though. do you have the factory electrical manual downloaded yet?

update: so I've started all my new meds and wore the brace, and yesterday was a very positive day. it felt like real progress was happening. then this morning I woke up in pain... lots of pain. so it looks like I'm just going to be sleeping in the brace from now on. just can't trust my unconscious body to not try and roll over I guess. but hopefully I didn't do any more damage and it's just straight up pain. we'll see how today goes.

I've fixed my share of vacuums, but none quite that old.
