    Damn man you really thrashed it on the trails. I haven't gotten any body damage out there yet and ran for a long time with no armor what so ever.

    I wouldn't call it that bad to need to be out of work much.

    My buddy had his done a few years ago. He said he came home, slept for 6 hours, and was awesome from there.

    My story...
    They give a couple Valium before surgery to help relax
    Surgery on both eyes was quick and easy
    Amazing to stand up and SEE
    Walked into the next room for a quick check that the flaps are in place.
    Turned quick from there as expected.
    Walked out of the office wearing dark Oakleys and a towel over my head and all the way home with in the passenger seat.

    About 1.5 hours later, I was asleep in a dark room. Eyes are burning and I think it's really bright in the room.

    This is when we learn my buddy came home and had a pint of whiskey with 4 Benadryl, aka he was unconscious for those 6 hours :rofl:

    I took some NyQuil at this point and finally got some sleep.

    It really was amazing from that point forward. No glasses. No contacts. Clear eyesight. I can see the clock from the bed.

    The first 4 weeks were rough but not bad. Eyedrops as close to hourly as possible. Dry eyes and fatigue off and on. But each week had fewer and fewer days with issues.

    Currently use eye drops once every few days.

    Best thing ever!

    Anyone have issues with their abs wires hitting the coils on their lift? I searched and no luck. :help:

    They are set to 1.75 inches of threads showing, supposedly what they come from the factory with.



    Almost done with the install and I noticed this going on at full lock.

    It gave me a run for my money too but didn't get any damage. TL problems caused me to take a pull from a jeep. Tomorrow if others in our group will go I'd like to give her hell tomorrow and tackle it I think I can make it up.

    I'm dropping them down. Sucker is sitting at 24" hub to fender. That's about 4" of lift isn't it?
