hmm you could send your winch to me i could give it a good test for you?? lol.. i am BURIED in the snow and ice my wife wanted to do a doughnut in the backyard she took the truck and now its buried at a 45 degree angle with left side box corner against the garage......... i have spent 3 days tryin to get it out to no luck...
Dang that sucks


And yeah, don't mess with knees, I don't know about the surgery part. But my dad has had two and the first time he pushed it too much and it was hurting so much the next couple months. I haven't had surgery but my knees are always killing me, and the days I try and push them the next day or two is hell. Hope you get to feeling better and congrats on all the mods in your future.
Aren't you a little young to be having knee problems? Or am I remembering your age incorrectly?

You are remembering correctly, I turned 19 yesterday. I am an offensive lineman, so my knees take a regular beating. I have had knee problems since Junior year. Its hard on your body when you weight this much and my weight fluctuates a lot. I have gone from 210 to 315 and back and forth for wrestling.

I am most definately on the wavelength of waiting until my knee is healed before working on my mods. I have spent 10 - 15 years dealing with the pain, waiting a few extra weeks if like water under the bridge. Besides, after explaining my doctorate in stupidity I am actually going to follow my surgeon's instructions.

Luckily for my knee and everything my home equity loan was delayed for a week because of a damn typo. This is cool so I can wait a week before I can even order. Before anyone asks if I got a home equity loan to buy truck stuff, no. I got a home equity loan for debt consolidation, however I was offered a loan about 10k higher than I needed, a full percent lower than the amount I needed and my payments were only $40 more a month to take the higher amount so I did. I was trying to lower the amount of money forked out on bills, truck payment expecially, before I retire from the Army so getting a 60Ka year job starting is not so critical and I can get a 50k a year job starting while still looking for a 60k or higher job. As a result I will now be paying about half as I am currently paying for credit so this helps. Oh well, I will have to wait until the 27th before the money is deposited.

A lowley Staff Sergeant. I suffer from complacency, if I like what I am doing I don't try to accel nor fast track. I loved my last job I did for the Army, all 6 years of it, but it was not a great career progression job.I did see that Staff Sergeants retiring is more common than I thought it was when I went to the retirement briefings.

I officially got a green light from my wife for a WARN Trans4mer with XD 9000i winch. I also got a go ahead for new shoes, BFG MUd Terrain TA KM2's with 17" rims. I will order sometime this week. I am looking at about 1600 for all of the WARN stuff from www.clemson4wheel.com and about the same for the shoes and rims from www.tirepackage.com. I am also going to throw a leveling kit on while I am at it because the added weight to the front and for additional clearance for my shoes. These mods will keep me busy for the next few weekends. The hard part is since I am still recovering from knee surgery it might take longer than planned.
Would you tell your wife thatI love the color she picked for her truck.
