To Tybardy,

Direct quote from Yuke2K:
"Dude, you know that if you **** yourself up trying to use the C-clamp I'm going to drive down there on my way to Cali next month just to kick you in the balls for being stupid.

lol you should be fine, just take your time and be careful. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out."

He spoke too soon!!!!!! Hopefully your boys can help finish your project! Good Luck!

LOL why the hell would you do that??? Common sense says it would hurt!

well it was not on purpose lol, and yes beer was involved. it was 100 in the shade, I was cleaning/repairing the gutters on my house, dog started barking at somthing stupid. I slipped and I dont know if its just in the cartoons but I remember someone saying you should land on your ass. So I did. But I only get a slight twinge now.

And dont laugh at me. I have like a 75 degree slope on my roof.

But I do wanna build a second story deck, One close enough to the pool we could have a water slide and be able to cannon ball off of.

DUDE!


Dude.


What. The. ****.


You get the keys done, and then drop the goddamn truck on yourself trying to put the coils in? Shit!

Well, you did what I asked I guess, you didn't **** anything up with the C-clamp so that spares you a kick in the nuts...I just feel bad that I didn't cover all of the bases and tell you to not drop the truck on yourself when finishing the job, lol. Looks like a pretty wicked break though, man. Hope all goes well with the specialist on Monday, and that you get the 'hoe done soon.


I somehow knew that I'd be reading a thread like this from you today, lol.

Dude..... are you kidding me?????? WTF! On the rear springs???? WOW. I've pulled me at least five times with a $26 2 ton jack from walmart and a 4x4 for more hight until I bought a proper jack. The one in the pic look like it goes to 19-20'' how didn't you have enough height? Anyway that sucks ass and looks like it hurt a lot......damn, that is really ******. Really sorry to hear that, at least you can still drive'r once you get your arm and truck screwed back together.....

Still not sure how you managed to do that, did you jack it up from the rear or the frame in front of the rear wheel? I can see if you tried to jack it up all the way in the back where it was sitting like 5'' higher not having enough clearance but not if you jacked the frame in front of the rear wheel.......

Damn bro. Like everyone else said, lucky it wasn't your head or anything worse. Good luck on the surgery and recovery man.
I always use jack stands, and if I don't need the wheels off the ground, I use my ramps.
As for your neg camber, adjust the keys where you want the front to sit, then you can loosen the bolts to the upper control arms and pull the arms outwards to get it closer to spec until you get it aligned.

I kinda felt dumb admitting this but now I guess I will say I'm not. I hate being under my truck - honestly it scares me to think about that fukn thing falling on me. I use double the jackstands and I STILL keep my 6k lb. rated jack under the side I work on. I know that's overkill but it's better than kill.

Sorry to hear that ty, I'm glad it's not worse man - REAL glad. I've had my head in some places under that truck and gdamn if I didn't catch myself thinking wtf if this thing fell on me right now.

OH - BTW it sounds like you're going to get a kick in the balls to go with your broken arm.

:word:
