The stupid things I do while wrenching…

[Xjeepguy]

Am I the only one who sets strange challenges for themselves while wrenching? Here’s an example.

The wheelie bar kit came in for my Savage XS. I never, ever use the included instructions, but I decided to not only not use the instructions, but I had to install it without my glasses. I’ve never even seen this part, or how it goes on, but man-challenge accepted. Success!! With no parts left over!!

Yep. I’m an idiot.

Your results are different than mine would be without my glasses! Sometimes instructions are optional, but vision I kind of need. You sir may be a blind kung fu master.

Yep, every time I drop a screw, I catch it in mid air with chopsticks.

Following instructions is like asking for directions. I don’t do either nearly enough!

No, but I did figure out that the body installs perfectly backwards lol. The wheelie bar should help me not make that mistake again lol.

Any level of confusion, in driving, or assembling something, is a potential man-challenge. Only victory and triumph lie on the other side of the challenge. Maintain course and speed!!
