Try having so much pain the Doctor willingly gives you, 100mg of Morphine, per day.
Then, when you feel a little cocky, having the X-ray/MRI Tech, you nonchalantly told you to move here, move there,
come running in, to help you up off the table. Asked her, what;s up?

She goes, I was watching your scans I can't believe you walked in here.
I can't believe your walking, at all.

Morphine and Beer
Morphine and Beer
Don't care if it turns me *****
Just give me that Morphine and Beer

PS

Do hope it gets easier for ya.
Pain does suck.
Sucks even worse, when you cannot escape,
from it, with sleep.
BTW, you know how the the pain bill bottle says not to use alcohol on the side of them?

Decided to upgrade my 1.5" Body lift to 3"

Ordered 8 - M12 x 1.75 180mm bolts ( 35$ )
Ordered 2 - 3x3 lift blocks ( 30$ )
Will reuse my 8 - 1.5" pucks and stack them
Steering shaft ( 80$ ) My original needed replacing anyways.

Ordered the newer 2015 and up steering shaft as its longer. No need for spacers :driver:

Just something to think about ...

seeing that image of your seat covering, made me think about the seats that were going into a custom car, that was being worked on by Kindig-It Design, the TV show Motortrend TV’s Bit chin' RIDES

The Upholstery Guy mentioned that seats on vehicles are often made wrong.
That lip that sticks up on the top edge of the seat, should be sewn so the lip is on the inside, ie: if you look at things like a leather jacket, the sewn lip is inside the jacket & covered by a liner, Awnings are the same way, the sewing is hidden.

Why would they leave the stitching exposed, when they know that our butts will slide over it, as we enter & depart the vehicles ? Know wonder they always tear at that place.

Had a literal mountain of boxes this past summer when I rebuilt my brothers “new” 97 tj. That much fun was almost enough to make me want ti ditch pharmacy for opening a shop.

@DILLIGAF this is here to help influence you to keep the parts coming so the rest of us can live vicariously through you

Got 5 kids so I'm going with ***** Whale.

She ain't far off.
Ever see an old NFL Offensive Lineman or an Old Power Lifter?

60 yrs old, 6'0", now 340#, down from 405#
When younger, could place one arm, along each side of a full size, loaded with groceries, side by side fridge, grab the back corner, squeeze, and carry it wherever the Wife wanted. Sliding/Rolling it risked ripping her linoleum.

Always thought myself more of a damn Grumpy Old Bear, in both size and demeanor but got to admit I am warming up to the ***** Whale idea.
***** Squirting, Studly Stallion, works for me too.
