Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Dude. We’re twins.
The 25th is my one year anniversary of my car crash. Both lungs collapsed with chest tubes, 11 ribs, collarbone, scapula, teeth, eye socket bone, and god knows what else.
I feel ur pain


I also feel your desire to dive. I’ve been certified for a decade and am no longer allowed to dive without asking a physician. Mine unfortunately doesn’t agree that I should. So looks like I’m retired from diving.

 

Who adds ice to coors light?

 

jeez ... had to quickly google Halo 9 if it was out

 

Did you get a pic?? I saw one there last year too but missed the shot

 

Man...I thought mine was bad...both lungs! How is your recovery been? My chest tube hole still hurts. I don't remember the insertion but I've heard it's brutal. Were you intubated with a resperator? I was hooked up for 4 days...that sucked.

I broke my cheekbone off the rest of my skull (zygomaxillary complex), upper jaw and orbital bone a few years ago. I ended up with 5 plates and 15 screws in my face. I had some nerve damage so it never actually hurt.

Between that one and this one was 22 fractures. I've had a total of 30. I think 30 is a nice round number to stop at.

Not diving is going to suck. I just bought a new to me used DUI drysuit last fall. I got one dive out of it....lame.

 

Recovery was slow. I’d like to think I’m okay now. Neck still hurts sometime if I sleep weird. Oh add fractured C2 vertebrate to the list. And yea, I was incubated for 4 or 5 days. Was in the hospital ICU for 8 days. They had me in a coma for the first two letting my body focus on reinflating lungs.

Yea both lung tube sites are still sensitive. I notice I’m out of breath quicker, but not sure if that’s recovery related, or my lethargy symptoms from my unrelated Kidney Disease. Sucks. Can’t work out like I use to.

 

JESUS FUCK!!! Glad you are doing good now that is some scary shit.

 

Holyyyyy fooooookkkkk. I sent my car flying 70 feet cartwheeling, but thankfully on dirt and I had a lap belt. Glad to see you’re still walking man. Wow.

 

Shit man...this whole experience gave me an appreciation for people with long term illness or super serious life changing injuries.

I was training to climb 9 14,000 foot peaks in CA this summer so I was in really good shape. Now I can walk a few miles but getting better all the time.

Thanks!

High on my list of things to be thankful for are no spinal injuries.

 

Its a 2009 the last year of the 470. It has a 100k on it and I just did the timing belt and full service. I had to overpay and drive to Nevada for it but its mint inside and out. I test drove 5 in norcal before but they were all beat.

I got 5 falken 285/70/17s and 5 steath Sr8s. I ordered TC uppers and extended 2.5 kings for the front and rear plus a coil conversion kit for the rear with icon overland dual rate springs. Also ordered weather techs, better light bulbs for the whole rig. Ill be adding @RelentlessFab sliders and a prinsu rack. Its the wifes daily and she loves it. She also wants to do all the installs.

 

Glad you survived that. sucks to hear that happened to you.

 

Nope same as you... was there watching, but didn’t even have a reaction to pull the GoPro out and start filming. I was too much in awe. lol.

 

Badass man. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

 

Sorry to hear that man. That's rough...

Typo, right? Intubated?


Either way, glad you recovered.

 

Old





New



I’m torn like a fresh vagina after a 10lb baby... I like em both. I can get an extra finger between the tire and shock now, should (hopefully) eliminate shock rub. Guess I gotta go wheeling to find out

 

Like the old better. Can't get used to the Dorkle. But the new is nice, as well. Can you help me cut my front fenders? Yours look nice.

 

What’s your dog staring at?

 

I like the old more than the new, but sweet truck regardless!
