I had to get an emissions test. My plates were about to expire. I took it to the testing center and they told me they can only test up to 34" tires. My 35s only measure 34 but they still wouldn't touch it.

So I borrowed the rear tires off my girlfriend's 93 Eddie Bower Bronco. (The next project) A set of 265s. Looked goofy as hell.

So I passed the emissions test with flying colors. Most of my exhaust was Duct taped on, and no muffler. They couldn't get the sniffer on my side dump so I taped a piece of my stack on and they accepted it out of pure pitty.

I got back to my girlfriend's borther's house where the Bronco was parked. We jacked it up to change the tires. We didn't have any jack stands so we just left the diff on the floor jack. We pulled the driver side tire off and were starting to put my swamper back on. The truck slipped off the jack. The axle fell to the ground along with the body and my head got caught between the fender and the standing tire.

I snapped my jaw right below the left ear and clean through the chin a little to the right side.

As soon as it happened I just heard a ringing noise and thought I was ok. I was kneeling off to the side recovering and Mitch (Oatmealman) asked me if I was ok. I said I'm fine. Then I felt my jaw seperate and the blood came pouring. Then I said I wasn't ok.

I handed him my phone and had him call my folks to take me to the ER.

I had a seat on the curb and just let the blood fill up in my mouth and then spit it out in the gutter.

Then I smoked a cigarette and waited for my ride.

So now I'm wired shut for the next 4-6 weeks and I have some plates in my face. As soon as I can scan the X rays I'll post them up.

It sucked ass. I really miss beer, cigarettes, fried chicken, and eating pussy.


DON'T BRAKE YOUR JAW.

Why would you waste your time reading twenty pages of this? It's one big on-going gay joke essentially hhahaha. But thanks!


I get rubber bands to retrain my bite next week (hopefully) and I'll be unwired totally in 3 or so more weeks. I'm rather hungry.


I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do jack.

I'm wondering if spray paint will just stick on top of my current clear coat, cause it'd be wicked hard to sand everything just right.... hmmm?

I might also go decal for it, but I'm wondering if that'll bubble eand melt in the summers on a black truck. hmmmm?

its not that hard to get a good paint surface just time consuming.

Being that there arent alot of small detailed lines it would be pretty easy to stencil it on there and do it yourself. Ive done it before on my dirt bikes and other projects. You can get a pretty decent finish even if you just use rattle cans.
