    Yeah I've heard that too, my dad got Lasik done and then needed reading glasses to see up close. I wasn't sure if that was just because of age or because of the surgery, but yeah I definitely don't want that. I'll deal with contacts if that's the tradeoff.

    well its weird I have very nice head of hair albeit thinning in mid 40s
    my brothers (few years younger and maternal twins) were major balding in their 20s and i have not a clue why :facepalm:
    my sister has a rats nest of curly hair and hard for her to manage even with being a professional cosmetologist
    i cannot believe she actually did this sort of thing for training and a state license

    Actually any Siphon system (that the cabinet is equipped with) would work fine, even with a small compressor. They don’t require or consume as much air as a media blasting tank.

    The key is to find a repairman that warranties his parts/labor. Mine snaps about every 3-4 years, latest one has a 5 year warranty. Paid a little more up front, but it should cover 2 springs if this one snaps like the rest of them.

    Out with the old and in with the new...almost. My Kings are annoyingly in the way of getting the CV lined straight in which might be an issue. Anyone got any pointers on that it would be appreciated...hope I don't have to pull the coilover out but it wouldn't be the end of the world.

    Gonna have a beer before I try and get the new one in as I have a feeling I'll be cursing

    Last time I did this a year ago I fucked up by hammering the end of the axle in and messing up the threads, gonna put the axle nut on the end of it this time to hopefully avoid that.

    Of course it's barely 715 and already getting dark, usually I'm a fan but not tonight.

    Shout out to my $55 HF impact wrench, couldn't get my axle nut loose with my cheater bar for the life of me, it zipped that sucker right off.

    Holy shit I was seriously overthinking that, it popped right in by hand, flush against the diff.

    All good, just put the LBJ bolts back in and getting ready to torque everything down.

    Provided I don't snap an lbj bolt like I did last time I put them together I should be in the clear

    Honestly I'm kind of shocked this one went in so smoothly....I had a hell of a time last time I did this getting it to go into the diff all the way. This time I was able to just get underneath and turn it a bit while pushing pretty hard and it popped right in.

    sometimes those bitches can be a bear to put in if their aftermarket new. Remans usually pop right in no issue
