I need a do over weekend!
« on: October 02, 2017, 11:39:20 AM »
So, I took a three jeeps to Trey mt on sat, they are new to wheeling and I was close.  Had some issues with my truck on trail that were fixed quickly, the most serious was that my rear axle shifted 2-3 inches causing tire to rub on body and drivibg crooked. Loosed u bolts wrapped strap around axle and pulled back into place so I could get home.
  On Sunday I decided to take a look at it and fix it right.  I have 2" blocks for my lift in rear ( I know I need a real lift, I mean a jeep) jacked it up and was trying to get it back in place, I needed three hands, so I did something stupid and truck fell in my finger ( I don't know how it didn't get the whole hand). I had to jack up truck to get my hand out.  Crushed/severed the bone in my finger from bottom of fingernail to the top of finger.  The tip was just hanging there, it took 17 stitches to put it back together to somewhat resemble a finger.
  Dr.  Did a great job putting back together .
If you want to see the finger, I can post pics

Arrow is where my finger was. Other pic is after I jacked it up to get hand out.

Damn man sorry to hear.

On another note the blocks look aluminum. They are made to lower trucks which places the block under the axle. They will deform and shift if they're used as lift blocks.

Pic doesn't show it, but from the fingernail up was just hanging there.  He went through nail to finger to attach and built from there

Danny, truck was like this when I got it.  That block is severely deformed, prob what caused the axle to shift.  Shifted out of place and ubolts came "loose"
