EEEEEKKK!!! I don't get why so many of you think that back surgery = no more wheeling? As I posted, wife had a fusion of L4/L5, and is probably working on another surgery for the next set up, and she still manages to wheel. Gets shots in her back every few months, moderate exercise, and alternative pain management (relaxation techniques, breathing exercises etc...) and of course vicodin for the bad days. But she still wheels!! Of course, the trooper seats are way more comfortable than the VX seats, but stepping up into the vehicle is much easier than crouching down. I would also recommend getting rid of the OEM shocks and switch to the rancho 9000s so you can make the ride softer as you see fit. With back issues, the in cab remote control would be a good idea?
