Yes, right knee=GARBAGE!
Medial Meniscus- torn in 2 places
ACL- blown
MCL- Torn, but not quite blown
Result, full rebuild on rt knee, and grips of rehab. It still sucks from time to time, and it is something I'll just have to live with. Moral of the story, life is dangerous, fawkin live it!! I just have to be very careful now, cause the knee is quite loose, and my meniscus will shift, and get out of place, that is when the suck comes!! I have figured out a way to get it popped back in, but it only works 80% of the time. I hope yours isn't as bad as mine Jordy!!

well, i pulled the third member out of my 9 inch to lincoln lock it, and found it has a trac-loc......so i just made sure the gears are the same as my front and slapped it back together. i just hope it works. if not, arb's coming this winter anyhoo.
i cannot, for the life of me, get this stupid pitman arm off!! broke a brand new puller in the process. i took franks advise and with the puller tight, i used a peice of tubing and bashed it from the top. also tried beating it from the side....and then the top a few more times. then the puller broke and i gave up.
any more ideas on getting that little f-er off? i dont want to heat cuz of the steering box seals........
im about to slap my drop pitman on my spare steering box and just slap that in it!!

If your replacing the PA anyways, just cut through the side of the PA collar at the sector shaft, and try to get it to split with a cold chisel, or air hammer. I have never tried it, and it could quite possibly be the stupidest idea ever......or not. It came to mind when reading the post, so good luck!!
Jordy, man that sucks! You seem to have a serious case of sh!tluck when it comes to injuries! Micro tears are not that big of a deal, other than the fact that you'll miss some ice time, but you have to think down the road too, and keep your future in mind. You will feel all of those injuries as you age....ask me how I know this! Just make sure that you don't wind up walking with a cane in your 30s bud....kinda hard to pick up chicks with a cane, unless you're a pimp....on second thought, maybe a cane isn't such a bad idea!! LOL!!

DUDE! thats actually a great idea!! i will try it tonight and let you know how it goes. gotta go buy another puller. should be sitting on its own 4 shoes tonight!!!!...maybe a test drive? will be in the garge working in about 3.5 hrs............stupid job always gets in the way of fun!!
Last day of work....vacation starting in 7.90 hours and counting, of course!! LOL!!
To do:
Fetch the trailer from where I have been keeping it. That is gonna be nice to have the trailer at MY house, for a change!
Change the oil in the Jeep
Clean the air filter....it's beyond bad!! oops!
Load everything, spare parts, camping gear, etc.
Load Jeep on trailer
Head west Monday!.....my favorite part!!
I don't have the computer all hooked up yet at the new place, so unless the Wifey gets to the PC, I will be off grid as of COB today....
On a related note, I have been without TV for 6 days now, and I gotta say, I really don't miss it! I watched part of a movie, Office Space, last night, while I did some work around the house. We hung the TV from the wall, which is a little strange for us, since it's been on a stand. Hell, we just bought our first HDTV 2 years ago....I guess I'm just not that techy...LOL!! I was the guy that always said, ehh, HD, who needs it....my old school TV has a great picture! Which it did, but it doesn't compare to sports on an HDTV! I was a fool!! LOL!!

I'm not much of a TV person at all. I watch maybe 1-2 hours total per week. That doesn't apply to football sunday though. I do spend a lot of time on the pc at home though. Something i've been trying to change. Wastes alot of time.
Have a great trip Kyle! and you know u better post pics. I've been wanting to go to that area for a few years. Won't be going this wknd.
Gona try a new MTB trail after work today.
