My current shafts have lived with 15 inch travel shocks using shocks as bump and limit and rear are triangulated. A center limit would keep a shaft alive preventing u joint Binding axle droop if you were to jump it ...I'm not I have a 3 ton monster econo box stomper not a lightweight all around rig.

Put a one amp charger on the Optima until it is over 10 volts, preferably close to 12. Then put a normal charger on it. Trickle charging is your friend for dead Optimas. I killed my new deep cycle optima, and had to take it back to Advance, and their charger brought it back when trickle charging wouldn't. Until you have normal voltage in the system, it's hopeless to try to troubleshoot.

The battery took power easy from my trucks jumpers had it on for 30 minutes battery was warm and charging....never tested it but the jeep does not act like low battery it acts like something is not hooked up...I do not expect rear lamps to work I.never hooked the rear harnes back up to the light as I got more to do there but since even the seat in front I if the JC box was caked with rust dust from grinding I'm about certain the harness is suffering from.getting dusted with it also so I bought a new box off eBay for $29 and will skip wondering about the condition of the box I do not even have head lamps and the battery runs my set if 22 light bars fine ...just seems like the harness plug is not connecting well ...lol..
I hate having to wait 5 days to give it a look see again .

Re: The Colorado BS thread
The first world choices of ORI or King coil overs ...The ORI I have read many posts with seal leak issue and since that means you lose you lift it sucks worse than a leaky shock on coil over , but I like the sway control of the strut. So I'm leaning towards that , however I'm not sure I have enough lift to use the ori as they say 6 inches of shaft showing the last two are used for the park feature ,and I only have about 5 inches of shaft on my current shocks and use all of it so the ori May not work for me ...I'm only probably doing the front as I put $500 into new buckets and coils last fall in the rear , so I want to use them b4 tossing them .16 ori would be the choice in front that would net me same travel as a 14 inch shock
..Damn choices ?

Re: The Colorado BS thread
So almost a year and a half after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, I STILL have jaw pain. I'm starting to think the wisdom teeth weren't the issue. All of the doctor, dentist and surgeon visits have ended with "I wish I could help, but I really have no idea". I finally get a 3D CT later this week. Crossing my fingers.
Working two jobs has been tough enough, let alone with chronic jaw pain.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
On some folks that lower nerve that runs from the tip of your jaw to your ear gets enflamed and you just can't get rid of it... I had lingering, but not severe, pain in my jaw for the better part of a year post wisdom tooth removal. Now I've had it for a year due to a molar extraction on the same side where there was infection eating the jaw... Strangely enough, drilling a hole in the jaw and sticking a piece of titanium in there caused no pain at all.
Good luck, it is definitely a nagging frustrating pain.

:cheers:
Did you have any lip or tongue numbness? My doc's didn't think it was the nerve since I don't have the typical numbness.
I had less pain with the damn teeth there. :flamemad:

Re: The Colorado BS thread
my pain tended to be at the end of my chin, and in my left ear... it comes and goes to this day (from the molar - 2 years later) with hot (coffee) or cold. I don't call it pain, cause it doesn't make me cry or anything, but it still brings the suck. I appear to be improving at last though, and all I have left is the post/crown to complete the implant, which should be pain free, so fingers crossed!

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Yeah that's good.
I've rated mine 5 out of 10. Mine seems more TMJ related as I have a popping and grinding in my socket, along with constant pain from that area. However the joint appears to be fine and I don't have a fractured jaw from what I've been told. One surgeon was 60% that it was chronic tendonitis.
It's getting pretty F*ing old.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
are you wearing a nightguard? That will help the TMJ a lot, $5 at wallgreens or $500 at your dentist
Sounds like the pain has you chomping down in your sleep which f's up the TMJ.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Yeah I have one. We didn't think that was the issue either since I have little to no pain in the morning but it gets worse as the day goes on.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
What is TMJ.
All I remember about my wisdom teeth removal when I was a teenager was the guy giving me what I thought was a lot of novocaine. When I flinched when he went into my mouth he said you felt that? And he gave me more. The worst at first was the smell of the teeth he was breaking, and after that at home was the blood that landed in my stomach. I am not a puker. I found one position on the sofa that worked and if I rolled it was hell. Finally I barfed it up. Eggs with blood ketchup in the middle. Yuk. Sounds like I was lucky compared to what you all are going through.
