    Swelling has came back and both sides of my hoof are showing bruising as well as the top behind my toes. Doesn’t really hurt but is tender, still can’t twist my foot sideways with any weight on it. I never was one to bruise, feel pain but never bruised to where it was visible….

    You been on your feet a lot the last couple of days? Wrap that up with an ace bandage not too tight, ice and elevate it. It looks angry with you.
    It looks like you got a hockey puck in the ankle at 90 mph!
    Seriously though, That swelling slows the healing process down

    Man you keep teasing me with that jeep. I found a 302 Fontaine last month, but it sold before I got to it. Was on the market for a week.

    it will help you some

    with my 3 axle truck it works really well. In the that picture I was 36 36 with 15 on my steer - that’s with an 8’ 1” drive to jeep spread. Turns like it is not even there.

    I can give you the guys contact info in Mexico - he builds them pretty fast. I lowered my my empty weight to 83k and change as 1/2/2/4 with 61’ in the well down from 90k

    it would help you with Georgia if you run your stinger - another pivot point

    you could haul all those 631 scrapers …



    @truckdad it will not help me haul scrapers

    Did this one to myself this past January, jumped off a tractor and landed wrong on a clump of frozen feed. Probably the worst pain I’ve ever had. Take it easy on yourself until it feels better! IMG_3034.jpeg IMG_3033.jpeg

    That’s exactly what I did. When I jumped off the tractor my left foot landed in a walnut or something, when all my weight went down it rolled outward and I hit the ground in excruciating pain….

    Yeah when you get a chance shoot me that number. I am considering getting a 36” neck extension and adding a third cylinder. I don’t mind scrapers, but I don’t like loading them alone.
