Battle scars from working on your truck?

I got 4 staples in my head and concussion from lifting up my trailer (6x10) to replace the axle. Jack slipped(no jack stand as I was lifting to put jack stand) and of course my dumb ass had my head in the wheel well and well the rest is history.

 

As my Chief would say following any injury, “Well, what did we learn?”

 

I learned to sale the trailer hahahah its looooonnnggg gone.

 

Wasn't working on the truck but using a breaker bar to put a drive chain back on an electric motor at work. Something broke loose bar hit my face broke my jaw in multiple places. Yes thats my front teeth folded over backwards. Jaw wired shut for awhile plus years of surgery i can finally eat normal again.. got a helicopter ride out of it.

 

You need to put up a warning for that kind of imagery. DAYUM! OUCH! SON OF A !!!!!!

 

YOOOOO!!

 

Ya i was debating on putting the first pic or not but hey if I can live threw it others can look at it lol
Never really felt any pain until recovery tho shock to drugs threw an iv really goes along way. Its the healing that hurts

 

Ouch.

 

So I think you have the high score in this thread now.

 

Yup, he wins so far

 

Didn't no there was a high score.. but I guess I'll take a win were I can get it! Lol

 

So far,
FlyingWolfe
has won the trophy. You go girl!!

 

Yea... I think @Getmeacoors takes that prize. Ouch

 

100%, yup.

 

We can share the trophy cuz i was working but not "on my truck". You were working on your truck. And plus the breaker bar that hit me did all the damage I just helped a little haha

 

Have you ever heard of a vacuum filler for cooling systems?

You have now. I know, boring...

 

That’s some serious carnage. It takes quite a bit to make my balls temporarily disappear, and that definitely did it.


Hope all is well, and you can chew food now.

 

Haha. Ya I can eat. Can't bite into an apple or anything hard with the fronts but waiting on implants to finish off the last of the damage. Just a long process to get there

 

I was going to post what happened to me but then I saw @Getmeacoors post and dropped my phone. That is horrific!
Made me forget what I was going to post.

 

Lol i was just thinking how this thread came to an abrupt stop after I posted no one wants to share anymore..

 

They do, but then they read through them, get to yours, drop the phone/fall out of their chair, and forget what they were going to say. (See post #111)

 

@Getmeacoors and @Prostar 190 definitely made us all cringe solidly. Honestly, if put in a "Would you rather" situation I don't know which would be worse.

 

I’d go with the burn. Both are naaaasty.
I’m fine with swapping a Tundra grille, but not my ivory grille

 

Ditto

 

God damn, bloody mouth and broken tooth pics get posted and this thread disappears like a flea fart in a hurricane

 

That description!

 

I've been thoroughly doused in really really warm ATF before. No wounds or scars from it.

Had my Ram in the air to change the transmission filter, and had my mechanic buddy helping me. Really he was teaching me at the time, but I digress.
Anyway, he tends to talk fast and get distracted when we hang out, and there was some minor miscommunication about where we were in the plan. I pulled the bolts on the front half of the pan while he pulled the ones on the back, and we were going to lower it slowly together. Well I asked if he was ready, he said "Go ahead" so I started to lower my side. Well, he thought I was asking if he was ready for me to start loosening the bolts. He didn't know they were undone and I was at the lowering part of the plan. My end went down and his did not, so some unpleasantly warm ATF poured out and hit right at my hairline and everything below.

Luckily I snapped my eyes and mouth shut in time, but it wasn't a good feeling. My buddy? He laughed and laughed so hard that he dumped more on me before we got it below shoulder height. The only true casualty was the lost fluid and the shirt I was wearing.

 

Smooooooth

Reminded me of the benny hill shit on the cutter, we were fixing one of the crane arms and I saw the other MK3 loosening one of the hydraulic lines about 50ft away. I hadn't depressurized, I was still going over the lock out procedure with my minions, and all I could get out was "I HAVENT BLED THE.." *POOF* 50 gallons of hydraulic fluid out of a 1" fitting into his crotchal region, blew him back into the pump room. He did not participate in the rest of the work that day and was known as "MK3 Dick-Spray" for the remainder of the deployment.
