South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Yuck.. im sorry.. least it's repairable.. looks to be cosmetic .. sometimes I think we should all drive bumper cars.. would be a lot easier

 

Um. That could be fun! I was reminded by my friend about weird accidents earlier
Her house was hit by a drive on the corner diagonal from the roads. Basically the rear corner of the house behind privacy fence. So it seems parking anywhere (or building a house) is at your own risk lolol. Its all good. Neighbors prolly think I'm mental because I'm not angry or sad or much of anything. Just whatever? Too many years of social work and bs I guess...

 

Daytime pic. Lol. Just realized I created a street party rave complete with a light show and security but that music sucked really bad and it was raining? I hafta laugh....I'm exhausted after being up so late with this shit....sigh....

 

Texting and driving strikes again

 

Seems so.....maybe she learned? Idk

 

Look at the bright side, aluminum or steel front bumper. Front quarter panel sucks to replace though. Difficult to see the extent of the damage without actually putting eyes on it but if your suspension components aren't damaged then you got lucky.

Finally got a boot and no more splint. Boot brand is MAXTRAX. Still another 4 weeks of no walking or driving.

 

Damn

 

Shit if I knew you needed a boot I woulda gave you the one I had (sent it to mom) Fucking thing cost me $438 cause insurance is shit! Never wore it.

Limped for 18 months like a man that fell on his steel bedrack trying to man handle it solo!

 

This one was less than half that price. I’m just glad to be off bed rest. Laying in bed for 45 days was a nightmare. Put a thumb throttle in my Jeep so I can drive with my walking boot on.

 

Maxtrax, you're practically back out there wheeling!

 

Any shops in the Columbia/Lugoff area (maybe Ft Mill ish as well) that ya'll could recommend to press in new bushings and ball joints for LCAs, install said LCAs and perform an alignment? I have the old bushings out. Need the old LBJs removed and new ones installed as well.

For those aware, yes I work at a Lexus dealership. It's very hard getting your own stuff worked on. We don't have to correct sleeves to press in the bushings, because we'd just replace the whole LCA. The main guy here that can do this is always very busy resealing 3.5 V6s.

Yes that's how I got the old bushings out. But now I need them pressed in. Yes I could rent the tools but I'd rather have a one stop shop. Specifically one that knows how to align a lifted POS.

 

my guy in Hickory can do it, but it's a bit of a drive for you. Ask for Ryan Bartlett - he's the guy building my GX and quite frankly the only person I trust to work on anything I own.

 

I sent an email. Let's see what he says.

 

Are you game?

 

I'd do it but I'm slammed at work . Been working 7 days a week from 6am till 9pm
