Just stared doing a few minor things to my xj and so far my hands have taking a good beating. Knuckles mostly.

I had my dads TJ slip off of the hilift & the LR drum almost landed in my lap! But I slid outta the way just enough to get the lug nut stud to slam into my shin! I can't complain at least I still have my legs!!!

Moved this since it is not a tech thread.

my grand father gave me some sort of acid stuff to clean my intake mani and vavle cover. he told me to fill it half way up with water. while on the way back from the garden hose the bottle slipped out of the spry nozzle i tried to catch it but wasnt quick enough and it hit the ground and splashed up right in my eye.

also cut the tip of my finger off between the chain and sprocket of my old bike taking it off a truck (not fun) but the tip got saved

Not From a jeep, but the rear pulley of a riding lawn mower did this to me while I was pushing it up a hill. It was running and in gear, therefore the pulley was still spinning, and I had the cover off of it. i was pushing it up the hill and it slid backwards a little, the spinning pulley hitting my knee. 9 stitches; a hematoma and about a month of not being able to walk later, I was fine...

Before:


Stitches, Got 2 in the deep tissue and 7 in the top:


Bruise from the hematoma (blood trapped under the skin) its in that place from keeping my leg up:


Next to other knee for comparison:


If you find these to be a little too graphic, please PM me and I will remove them, but Its obviously not as graphic as a severed finger...

Dropped a die grinder on my arm in February.
Horizontal cut is from the grinder, vertical incisions are from the re-constructive surgery.
What it looks like today.

Lots of busted nuckles but to best ones are when I had a lifted K5 with 38.5s and was sitting under it after it was running and stuck the top of my head right onto the cat and gave my self a shark fin blister on the top of my head. Was so pissed I through the wrench down onto the ground and it bounced back and nocked the side window of the garage and blew glass all over the inside of the garage.

this thread will be the reason why next time me or any of my buddies cuts themselves while working on our rides ill be taking pictures!!

so far the worst that my xj's done to me was when i was hammering out the old shackle bolts to install my lift when the bolt decided to just shoot out and i smacked my hand with the mini sledge left a wicked blood blister and i still have a lump build up of scar tissue

working around cars all i day iv had plenty of cuts
worst one not involving my own car was removing a skid plate on a toyota truck that was bent and cracked when my ratchet slipped gears and i whacked my wrist on the skid plate bad enough to where i said ouch looked at it and saw what makes up my wrist before any blood came out
it got a bad infection thought i was ganna lose my hand

wish i had pictures
