Torquing down my UCA bolt on the frame side tonight really hard, and the ratchet slipped off, flipped back, and SLAMMED me in my forehead!!!! I ended up having to get 7 stitches tonight! Don't be stupid like me folks, and don't let that happen! lol #BUILTNOTBOUGHT #Darwin

Impressive looking wrench!

Glad you are somewhat OK! Looking forward to more pics of the lemon looking TJ

Thanks! Hopefully I don't have that ratchet outline permanently scarred onto my face! LOL But hey if you don't bleed a little sometimes, you're not working hard enough!

She's the Bayou Bengal, I need to transfer my build thread over here from the other forum.

Same here! They add character! I'm going to have to post the scars from my CR500 that ended up with plates and bolts and one nasty ass scar!
I don't have anything of that magnitude. This dialog about scars reminds me of the scene in "Jaws" where Brody, Quint, and Hooper are sitting in the cabin of the Orca, drinking and comparing scars. It's a guy thing! (y)

The Bayou Bengal is a looker! I really like those wheels on a Rubicon.

Damn! That's a bad one.

I've come close, but so far no stitches from wrenching on the vehicle thankfully.

When guys get older, the conversation turns to comparing surgeries. Pathetic.
