So i started today.





I pulled the seat so there was more room for tools and working on the inside.


Got the drive shaft out, all of the shifting pieces and wires, and drained the tranny oil.







I almost died, it was fcking scary.

Me and my friend were jackin up the car. It was about 2' up in the air and i was trying to place a jackstand in place. I heard a crack and i moved out from under and the entire car fell. I was stunned that it almost landed on me. I'm assuming that we didn't have it complety on the front part of the frame and it slid off.


After i got up i realized that there was only one jackstand next to me and i forgot about the one i was putting in place. I was pissed because i looked under and saw it was standing there right by me wheel. I didn't see it from inside the hood so i was like check the wheel well. It landed right in an opening and the jack didn't touch anything, it was completly loose and we pulled it right out.


After looking here is the damage. I actually think it looks better lol. I dont have that weird hole anymore, not it's all open lol.





Nothing major happened except for my bumper being pushed in.
Overall it was an alright day

 

nice, but what are you doing, 5 speed swap?

 

yeah it's a 5-speed swap

 

whoah!!!!

glad your ok. not to be mean but damn, rofl!!! not as bad as a friend of mine. took a free way off ramp a bit too fast. if youre in socal youll might be familiar with the ramp that connects the 10 west to the 605 south. crazy S bend. he was going like 65 and flew right into the ditch and did a few flips in his 4 runner. he and the truck was ok, even drove it home too!

 

sucks you almost got crushed, but glad to see your ok, good luck with the rest of it

 

i had somthin like that happen to me exept i was under my freinds truck with 42 inch super swamper TSL's, need less to say it didnt come close to me but it was still scary lol, glad to hear ur alive and the car wasnt hurt much
