    Prayers for you buddy. Brother had same issues and pins put in vertebrae and part of it fused. He is doing fine at 60 and so will you. Go see a few doctors to include specialist for this sort of thing. Beware really new procedures (I got hernia mesh 5 years ago and that stuff still bothers me but no way to really cut it out).

    Hey guys. Pains me to do this but I’m tight on money. Im Looking to see if anyone is interested in trading 33s for 35s. Wheel setup and all. I have 5 level 8s in bronze wrapped in Wildpeak AT3s. Obviously I’m looking for a tires in good condition. I’ve been keeping these on a 5 tire rotation and they are in great shape. PM me for details.

    Im sorry to hear that man. I have the same symptoms and have been told basicly the same thing. They told me i have arthritis between 2 -3 and 4-5. And looking like ill get it between several others. Ive been thinking that it sounds like a false diagnosis as im only 31. But ive had some pretty hard knocks in my younger that would explain it. I think i may go see another doctor as well after hearing this.

    Prayers your way and i truly hope you have a full recovery.

    Dang Tyler, really hope it all works out perfect for you. Neck and back surgery has improved a lot with all the laser surgery they are doing now. I have found that if you get a doctor that only does the surgery that you need it helps faster. I stopped letting doctors that try to cure multiply things try to help only to send me to a specialist. Do your research and find the best, they are a lot of doctors that see you just to get your money.

    I hate to hear that man. If you need anything, you know i'm right up the road. My wife is going through some of the same neck stuff. She is seeing a chiropractor and doing PT to help her out to keep from having to do any kind of surgery. She hates it, but reminds herself that she doesn't want surgery if possible. Hang in there and we'll be praying for you.

    after seeing what happens to steel skids in these trails, I would never run aluminum skids. Bumper maybe, but not skids.

    wet trails and smallish sharp Rocks result in slamming on skid plates all the time.

    I’m not rock crawling so I’ll be fine. Also don’t run anything more than blue trails. Haven’t seen or had any instances yet where I need them. Aluminum complex fine for me until I’m proven otherwise lol

    I noticed with skid plates, you have more surface area underneath to scrape on. I took my Inferno out to Big John the other day to play around and I was scraping on rocks that I didn't scrape on prior to my skids. At least it's my skids scraping and not other vital truck parts!

    We got 17" in Gadsden that year. That blizzard was so fun to play in though!

    I was in 9th grade. I remember playing backyard football in the snow. I also remember it being whiteout conditions during the event. Haven't seen that since so I guess that's why they refer to it as the blizzard of 93. Of course it did impact a lot more than just the South. In Opelika the snow drifts were 6' easy. Bring it on again I say.
