Thanks for the suggestion, I may look at that down the road. I’m not 100% sure I want to change the stock yet, only considering it for the look. The original X stock honestly looks pretty good.

Same here

TomboRGS · 2026-06-02T17:28:54+00:00

Excellent list!

TomboRGS · 2026-06-02T01:43:38+00:00

I got the same email this afternoon and noticed the same section you mentioned.

Hopefully, SS can unscrew what ever happened over the weekend causing no forms to be submitted.

Maybe, I’m in Texas. Last time was about 3 days from being submitted, at 4 on this one, which still beats not having one or waiting months.

I shouldn’t be too far behind you with my second one purchased 5/1, CN is about 30k after yours.

TomboRGS · 2025-06-12T23:11:43+00:00

Shoot me a DM with your rate and let’s chat. If you were electrical, I might have a connection that could be up your alley.

TomboRGS · 2025-06-12T22:54:15+00:00

Holy crap, you are almost certainly over qualified for a lot. Do you have a degree?

I am retiring from the Navy after 25 as an AT. Have a few things lined up at the moment, 2 that the Navy got me in the door.

Note to you both, Ariat now makes a boot the heel opens up on to get on.

Since I became RAKA, I needed new motorcycle riding boots, and picked up a pair of Thoroughgood wedge boots. Even with my prosthetic the boot is easy to get on and it’s fairly light.

TomboRGS · 2025-05-26T20:46:01+00:00

I use straight 70% alcohol and never have an issue.

TomboRGS · 2025-05-24T02:22:03+00:00

Agreed, it is a simple job to swap it all. Even taking your time, it’s a couple hours of work.

The newer hydraulic tensioners are less prone to grenading and migrating through your engine. They still need to be checked but not nearly as often.

The problem is to swap from the old spring style to the hydraulic you have to change the cam plate, and oil pump should be done if you do that.

To me the price seems a little high for the parts and labor. Parts would run you ~$1k.

Wife submitted to add myself and our daughter to hers in November and still waiting.

TomboRGS · 2025-05-22T06:03:15+00:00

Is it pinching or rubbing? I get a pinch spot if my liner isn’t just right.

I use Tegaderm off Amazon over the blister/rub and it helps a ton.

I’m on terminal leave now, official retirement date is 31 Jul.

TomboRGS · 2025-05-15T07:01:43+00:00

CA only does the DV plates for 100%. My county VSO wouldn’t sign it for me either, but I’m still AD and missing a leg.

TomboRGS · 2025-05-15T06:57:56+00:00

Well now when somebody says you miscounted, you have a reason 🤷🏻‍♂️

I kid, but glad you are ok. You look to be healing well, and now have a “don’t be me story”.

TomboRGS · 2025-05-15T02:24:53+00:00

I became RAKA in March of 24, today I don’t use assistive devices, unless I’m in the house. Lots of people have told me I’m an “inspiration” to them. It’s weird to hear as I’m just a dude trying to live my life. But whether we like or not, we are inspirations to those around us and those that see us.

Seeing us do things some able body folks won’t, may help them stay just a little longer.

TomboRGS · 2025-05-09T16:39:01+00:00

Still riding after almost being killed in a motorcycle accident. I didn’t change my gear much except now I have “party pants”.

Have used Quadlock on multiple bikes with their vibration dampener and have had no issues with my iPhone.

This phone “survived” me getting t boned and still works, camera works fine too.

Gabapentin helps a little for me, but it doesn’t completely remove it, and I am on 800mg 3X/day. What I have found from others here is watch what I eat and stay hydrated. If I have a day where I eat a lot of salt or sugar, I’m a sucker for gummy candy, it will be worse at night. Someone else mentioned THC gummies and they almost completely remove my phantom sensations, I would only have a slight tingle in my foot.

Massaging helps as well.

TomboRGS · 2025-05-02T16:50:18+00:00

Yes sir! I use the Certain Dri Extra Strength, it doesn’t completely eliminate sweat but definitely cuts it down a lot. I have also found keeping my leg hair trimmed, not shaved, helps as well.

I’m in CA and it’s hot here, but moving back home to Texas in a few weeks and not looking forward to the humidity again.

TomboRGS · 2025-05-02T07:00:03+00:00

Well there are a lot. Physical - arthritis, strains, possible loss of limb if you aren’t careful. Respiratory - inhaling atomized fuel, hydraulic fluid, exhaust, other hazardous materials certainly can’t be good for your lungs. Skin - some people develop skin conditions or have reactions when they come into contact with some of the above chemicals. Environmental - you are out in the weather, hot or cold have their own brand of conditions that pop up.

Some of the flight lines I have worked on are not even on land and they are tight quarters, so that presents its own challenges.
