Great to hear all is ok, my wife is the reason I am back in a Landcruizer. We had a 1999 Volvo V70 that we were rearended by a 1977 Suburban on the gas accelerating through 55 mph. Off set hit in the back with wife and 1 mo old son beside her. Totaled the Volvo and Suburban, all walked away without a scratch.

yes on the seats, I don't think I need two sets.
ARB winch bar on the bumper, Doug thinks it helped, I didn't really see it after.
I get the titanium rod out of my femur in June, glad to be rid of that. I've been riding the mountain bike to work most of the summer, towed three neighborhood kids on a sled all around the neighborhood and through many lawns this weekend. My first studded bike tires, these things rock!

Won't be going by your neck of the woods any more.
Made my last trip through Chitcargo end of June.
I am going through high elevation therapy to recover from driving through
Chitcargo IL so many times
I feel much more better now

bump old thread... -
Make me want to buy only 1995 and up which air bag becomes standard. How expensive to add airbag in 1993, 1994? Is this even possible?

problems solved daily...
It wouldn't be cost-effective, if at all possible given the difference in prices between 93/94 and 95-97 models.
Thanks. I want 95-97! I want ARB too, but I think air bag don't get enough credit here in this thread. I can't imagine without air bag.
Do you still remember how heaven looked like?
Scott, came in late, but very glad you're still here and take it easy on the mend. Family time is certainly a blessing to be enjoyed!
Take care,
Take care,

Limp? It's totally gone, unless you ask my wife, or the guys at work, or my therapist. What do they know, I don't feel any limp! I haven't tried running, it does hurt sometimes, but I hammer on my bike every day and that feels great. At the gym, I'm less than half-strength on right leg extension compared to left leg. I think my body mass is back to where it was, I'm still not up to 100 pushups every morning, but I'm gaining on it, slowly. Sucks getting old! Kinda fun when I catch up to a roadie on my mt bike, then he sees my grey beard, heh! I needed to stop running anyway, so I don't miss that after 25 years of running, but I am limited in peak strength on my right leg, so not much hill climbing. There are some steep, paved hills near my house, I may start hitting them on my commute home just to see what I can do.
I had the hollow pin removed from my leg a few months ago, that was possibly causing pain because it didn't flex with my bone, possibly bruising the inside of the bone.
No airline flying yet. The most dreaded challenge in airline sim training is the engine failures. The plane yaws to the side, which on a swept-wing plane puts a lot more wing into the wind on the upwind side, and a lot less wing on the downwind side. That means a lot more lift on the upwind side, which causes the plane to roll over, fairly quickly at low speeds/high thrust (on takeoff). The pilot flying has to put in a lot of rudder to stop the yaw, that means pushing one rudder pedal with a lot of force and grace. It's sort of like standing in a one-legged squat. The force has to be adjusted smoothly as the plane accellerates (rudder & engine become more effective) and the throttles are adjusted, to keep the plane going straight. In the military I flew with a lot of serious injuries, took aspirin 'till my ears rang, did my job. We don't do that in the airlines, no-one would suggest it.
I'm happily working as an engineer/project manager/account manager, designing and building automated industrial machinery. I love it, and I love seeing my family every day, going to church, going to my kid's games, real life.
