1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Oof that sucks. Glad you’re still around.

Definitely read that as “braked so hard I snapped my leg” the first few times..

 

crossing my fingers as well, thank you! still have to go back into surgery tuesday for another clean out and closing it up. getting stir heavy sitting tho

yeah, it was an open compund fracture. i looked down and saw my tib/fib out the skin. my foot was positioned under the chair behind me, had no other choice tho than slamming the brakes. glad my arms and neck/back are good tho!

 

light turned yellow and they made a left right in front of me, prolly impacted around 40-45 mph. insanity

 

For sure, gotta pour one out for the guy that invented the modern seat belt. I saw an ad the other day for a 3rd gen T4R parts rig at a junkyard, it was wrecked bad and the windshield looked caved outward like a giant projectile got launched from within the vehicle. Someone learned a hard lesson there

 

good lord i couldnt imagine being launched like that. just the thought is chilling. airbag worked well in combination with the seatbelt, i didnt even get a seatbelt burn lol

 

Flashback to James' bent steering wheel and dented windshield... what happened to that guy

 

Sad to see that happen. Hope you heal quickly.

 

he's been posting on IG so probably just took a TW break I guess

 

Time for a 4x4

 

I had that typed out in my original reply to his post but edited it out, figured I'd give him a minute to lament the slug first haha.

 

SuperPro bushings are 20% off this weekend. Free shipping over $50. I guess I should place an order by May 30th.

They are proud of those huh

 

I had good luck with them in a Nissa application years ago. I see them being used often for 100 series lower control arms and the Panhard.

 

Exploding Jeeps are becoming a thing it seems. Be careful where you park.

 

Damn that's a pretty good impact. Glad your ok.
On a lighter note.

Awe shit man, here's to hoping for a speedy recovery!

Bet that bed was still straight though with those stiffeners on!

 

There was a video some months ago where a guy's Jeep went up in flames suddenly; was a wiring issue wasn't it? He had lights and other accessories going on in that thing.

 

The blows. Glad you're mostly ok. Hope you have a swift recovery! What kind of vehicle did you hit?
