Your neck, my arm. Between us. Think we have some pretty good drugs.

How did you detach it to begin with? Sorry 'bout that.

Picked some flooring weighting about 80 lbs or more from a shelf. Turned around to load it on a cart. And it just ripped, and I heard it.

And you are talking to a guy who can do 30 chin ups, or used to.

Damn, bro
That had to be painful, made me cringe just reading about it!
Best of luck!
Hope your rehab is short and you get back to 100% with that arm!

Even rather new parts go without warning. Happened to me too many times for me to remember

Spooler's neck, Rusty's arm... and seemingly everyone's Stillen supercharger kit.

Its been a trying week

Swap out the stockers for the Volk GTF's and go for a cruise on the Hendley
and the Cusco locker doesn't like that and pops, groans, and growls and the whining!

Kill every bug on the road with burning oil puking from the diff and burning on the exhaust.... quite the trip

Stock diff going back in on Friday @ Speedtech. The Cusco is done!

The tire pressure keeps dropping on the rear tires and so .......
take it to a tire shop that I've always used and all the staff has changed
and I don't know anyone WTF?

They say the leak is from the centre of the rim on both rear tires and must be the seal on the rims.

My reply was that I thought these were one piece barrels and you were the last fuckers to touch them when you replaced the TPMS sensors; SO what did you do to them?

My guess is that they damaged the seal when they banded the sensors to the barrel and of course they take no responsibility for it.

Of course it was my believe that the Volk 10.5" rims were a one piece barrel but maybe I'm wrong?

After the car is back from the diff repair, I'll take the rims to a wheel specialty company and them repaired for $75 per tire.

The adventure never ends and thanks for letting me vent lol
