    ya i figured by the time i get napa cv's and either do the boot slide mod or put high angle boots on it will come out to about the same price as a CVJ axle w/ the boot already on it. Save me lots of time and frustration :D.

    Hmm thats strange because on their website it literally says that they are remanufactured OEM axles. Also says how much better they are than brand new cheap chinese knock offs lol..

    x2 (unless PO put aftermarket ones on but they look OEM)

    not bad.

    If that was true I'd be a combination of Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein.

    For example: I can hardly blink my right eye currently because the overspray from the spray paint has meshed my eyelashes together.

    You just need to make more mistakes involving electricity and speed-of-light travel.

    Don't even get me started.

    Years ago I was building a heating light for my snakes. Pissed my drawers when I electrocuted myself.

    Haven't electrocuted myself since... so maybe you're right about this whole "live and learn" philosophy.

    Do it. I had mine removed with OEM suspension and didn't experience that much body roll. With aftermarket suspension, the only thing I notice that that driving over curbs and rocks is less jarring...which is a good thing.

    Got ya beat. I was cleaning a Wagner Power Painter and in a MENSA moment, I figured that if I plugged it in while holding it in the water, I could clean the sprayer quicker. Sad thing is after the first shock, I did it again:anonymous:

    Got my Bilstein 5100's and new stock coils on today.. Set at 1.5". Left the rear alone for now. Will eventually get 881 coils in the front and new leafs/billies in the back. Little bro lean as of now but I'm hoping it'll settle.

    One time, I was working on a vacuum tube amp with a flat blade screwdriver in hand. I had reasoned with myself that I didn't need to discharge the power supply caps if I kept the other hand behind my back. Somewhere in there, my forearm touched the chassis and then the screwdriver was in the ceiling. Good times!

    "Don't wizz on the electric fence..."

    Got my pack hung up on an electric fence once while I was wearing it. The wire was sitting on my shoulders and traps and I thought I was getting stung by a bee. It wasn't until I got myself through the fence did I realize what it was.
