    Sorry to hear about your Mom Doug. Very tough part of life that we will all have to deal with sometime. From what I have read about on here you were a great son! You put your life on hold and took care of her and were by her side when she needed you the most. I am sure that meant a ton to her!

    There were a bunch of trucks that showed up to my moms service and it was cool. She had a multitude of health problems so I took her on runs regularly so that she could enjoy the times that she had remaining. She was the trail mom to everyone out there.

    Before you go any further is the coil still on there? If it is do you have a spring compressor on it? If so, what I've always had do was take a pair of vice grips and grab that top rectangle piece of the shaft your talking about. Having a partner is a major help. If I didn't have to work today I'd cruise over and help ya.

    No spring compressor, I'm using the floor jack method, coil is still on, spindle is disconnected from the LCA and is supported.

    Thanks, but dad'll be up in a little while, so if I need help he could help me.

    I think I'm just gonna cut the nut off, it's no big deal if I mess the shock up, they're just factory replacements.

    Guys my friend Alex's fj40(fully restored + a ton of aftermarket goodies) got stolen from his place in point loma at 3am fri night/sat morn. He said he heard the thing start and walked outside to see 2 masked men w/weapons wearing "tactical" type gear stealing it.

    He had an interested buyer so he gave them his address, they said they would come look at it in the morning. Well what do you know those fuckers stole it. Be smart about selling your shit on Craigslist. I'm sure the thing is in Mexico by now but it won't hurt to keep your eyes peeled.
