My VX ran over me

[TheGanzman]

OH Man the Lord was with you bro!. I had a similar event 6 months ago when I was under mine. I accidentally triggered the shift selector from park to neutral and it started to roll. I spun around and was out from under that truck faster than a New York second.

Question: If "the Lord was with...(him)", wouldn't the accident have not happened at ALL?

, my wife said something along the lines of someone looking out for me. I said, lets say it did hurt me bad, would he get credit for that too? Gotta take the good with the bad. Only Obama can take credit for the good and blame someone else for the bad

As for the rock chock, no rock is big enough to stop my VX, ever seen Secretariat? That is like my VX with rocks.

Not necessarily.

Ouch!

But, given how much these VX's weigh, the outcome surely could have been worse. Glad to hear it wasn't.

And you know, if you look at those scuffs with your eyes squinted just a little, some of them even look sort of like Isuzu emblems.



I'm thinking embrace it, fill in the blanks via tattoo, and make the best of the situation.

I found another silver lining. I am going to try and drive it FWD only tomorrow. I know 4low will work, but I am curious how TOD will react.

As for the tat, already have one....

You should get a tat of a pot of gold or a bucket of money and see if that works.

I'm glad you are ok. That was a close call.

and don't forget the front cladding

your a lucky man Chris and I'm glad your okay. Stick to the sparks and leave the mechanics to people that know what their doing.

As far as driving it with the rear shaft removed. Can't remember what ours are like, but most drive shafts have a machined rear spline that seals the tail shaft seal. i.e.; keeps the red stuff inside the gearbox.

Ours is a flanged on design. Pinion seal holds the fluids inside:0 The spline is in the slip yoke in the shaft portion of the drive shaft. I ran around with no front shaft for months, I just want to do it as an experiment, no one seems to have done it yet.

Is that a BF Goodrich All Terrain KO tread mark on your front shoulder or is that a General Grabber?

That is Goodyear Kevlar MT tracks buddy, no weak AT for me....lol
