    OMG crazy
    Same thing here . Don’t know what I did but the bottom of my second and third toes on my right foot all of sudden feels like a knife stabbing me and I can not put pressure on the front ( toes) of that right foot . When it happens it feels like something snaps in my toes . I did 3.8 miles this morning in the woods . Up and down hills on uneven ground . Foot a little sore but whatever usually happens didn’t happen today . Go figure .

    Good morning CT.

    Had to help someone with a Jeep Wrangler last night. They bought this thing with a 2.5" lift already installed.
    He wanted to install a "HD" steering kit. I helped them remove the old parts and I looked at the new ones, they won't fit. You have to drill out the knuckles and pitman arm to 5/8" and then use a reamer to taper the hole.
    He didn't have the correct tools that are listed in the install instructions. He's did/is doing a bunch of other work on the Jeep (new brakes, new shocks, new tires, lighting, etc).

    So, while driving down I-395 this morning I was passed by an older Chevy pickup.

    It appeared to have a pretty severe downward bend between the bed and the cab and was leaning pretty hard to the left. When it pulled in front of me, I could see that the truck was crabbing pretty badly such that I could see the entire left side of the truck (think B-52 cross-wind landing).

    We both left the highway and I was directly behind this truck at the stop light. This afforded me a better view of some of this truck's problems: (1) the left rear tire was completely bald (think racing slick), (2) the left rear tail light cover was broken - was covered with red tape at some point, but the tape is now tattered and the bulb is visible (but is at least functioning), and (3) the rear window appeared to be completely covered in clear packaging tape.

    I realize that we can't all afford to maintain our vehicles in perfect condition, but this truck was like the poster child for bad or no vehicle maintenance.

    There are some dangerous vehicles out there. Recently, I was at a gas station and at the next pump was an older, large, Lexus SUV with four donut spares as its running wheels !!

    A friend of mine turned me on to this product because of soccer. We met through soccer because our kids play together now, and he knows the owner of this company.

    So I ordered a custom board and received it today.

    It looks amazing! I love this thing!
