I've done a few in-person races this year and it's been great! I got a hernia in February (I knew what it was the moment it happened because I'd had one before) and I've been putting the surgery off until after my last marathon of the season, which was last week. So now I'm finally getting...
I've had hernia surgery once about 8 years ago - it wasn't laparoscopic though. I had pain in the area for a few days, but it wasn't bad. I actually have another hernia surgery scheduled (for the other side, this time it will be laparoscopic) in a couple of weeks.
Regarding the surgery and...
I haven't installed the extension cable but I have it sitting on my workbench. I have the Taser installed directly currently. If I want to install the extension cable now, before I even bring it to the dealer, do I need to unmarry the Tazer before I unplug it, plug in the extension cable, then...
Here are a few photos from the angles you asked for. I put the grip tape on myself because the sliders were pretty slippery when wet and my wife uses them as a step to get into the truck.
Sure - any particular angle you want to see? At some point in the next few days I'm going to crawl around under the truck and take a closer look at all the dings from the latest trail session, so I can take pictures of the sliders then.
For the folks who are concerned about the angled-down being a problem on the trail, here is a quick video I took of my sliders and the undercarriage of my truck after doing the Jeep Adventure Academy a couple of weeks ago. You can see the slider has some scrapes, but the skid plates and other...
I think this is a good idea, but how hard would it be to replace parts if it gets bashed on a rock? For instance, if a light is broken, is it simple to replace the night? And if the whole thing gets bent a little bit during rock crawling, can you replace just the metal frame? I'd want to be able...
I was there on Saturday and it was an awesome time! I have a lot of video of the first couple of JTs in one group (the red one with a rack-top tent and the lifted Gator/Gobi [I can never remember which is which]) in the group that started on the Jeep hill side of the trail in the morning. I was...
I went from a Nissan GT-R to the Gladiator (with a one-year break where I primarily drove a beat-up old Land Cruiser overseas) and it was a night-and-day difference. I didn't have any issues with the GT-R like it seems you had with your Merc, but the Gladiator is so much more useful, and I can...
I bought a plain black silicone frame from Amazon. There's no need to advertise anything on my truck that someone can use for social engineering, or that is going to piss off some cop or crazy person who doesn't like whatever I'm advertising. I want to blend in and not be noticed regardless of...
Ok, thanks for the info! Where in Phoenix did they do it? I just moved here from Tempe, but i only had my Gladiator for a couple of weeks before I moved so I only had time to head up to Sedona and do Schnebly and some other trails up there.
Do they use any kind of radio communications during the event? I have a GMRS radio that I need to install sooner or later, and I'm signed up for the 10th in Texas. If they use GMRS, I guess I'd better get my radio installed sooner...
I have a Rugged Ridge Armis that rolls and provides more security than a soft pleather cover. It was easy to install and has proven to be waterproof in the times I've checked it - I don't check it every time I drive through rain, but whenever I've had stuff back there it's stayed dry.
