Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
the problem is that i need to roll myself out of bed and limp to the toilet at night a few times before it stops hurting in the morning , i allready work more to get back in shape and forcing myself to walk more by parking the truck farther away and walk back to do the delivery
think being hit in youre lower back by a baseballbat a few times and have a screwdriver prying in youre hipsocket non stop no matter how you sit stand or lie down and youre pretty close to wat i feel at the end of the day , its realy annoying as it interferes with my freetime stuff like working on my car and trucks

Is your "raised floor" bed going to work with the body drop?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Oh lord.... You guys are going to make me do a big notch and body drop mine. I cant stand all this. Being a member of this forum is not helping my wallet.
