    Well, I'm back

    The hmong Ceremony took place in Wheaton Missouri. Her family is great and it was a lot of fun, except for the fact that my Best Man and I both contracted Salmanella the day before the wedding. You can see in the pictures that we are both miserable. They also like to drink a lot as part of...

    need new tires, recommendations?

    Dunlop RVXT Have served me great in Michigan winters. I've gotten very good treadwear out of them and they're only a couple of pounds heavier than the stock Goodyears. They look great and have impressed me on and off road.

    This has been a bad day

    I went and looked at the Jeep yesterday and it's pretty rough. Rear axle is toast along with the differential, uni-frame is twisted, something in the front end is bent because the toe is way off. Rear shocks snapped in half and the corner of the trunk area got pushed up into the cab. Needs a...

    This has been a bad day

    Yes it seems that way, but the other vehicle was a low-sitting car so it went underneath me and into the rear tire at a high rate of speed. The axle/driveline probably took a heck of a hit. But we'll see what happens.

    This has been a bad day

    Thanks for the support guys, it's very much needed and very much appreciated at this point. Michigan is a no-fault state. The only thing I'll get out of it is filing a mini-tort against his insurance to cover my deductable. Marlon, it happened on Fred Moore Hwy. (32 mile road) just east...

    This has been a bad day

    I coulde, but truth be told I'm actually fairly relieved to be away from that contractor. I would definately love to see them burn for the way they treat their employees though.
