yeah, i'm on the large side... and without and tension on the tbars it got real cozy, real quick. if i were built like jbfp i could've wriggled out easily.

i saw the prius today. the owner was nowhere to be seen. I even sat on the hood waiting, but he didnt come out. in the end it has 4 flat tires. I didnt do any damage, I did remove the valves from the stems and left them in an envelope under a wiper along with the tool to put them back in. AAA just left since he didn't accept the offer to use my compressor. it was probably an immature thing to do, but at least i didnt drop a car on him.

jay- the wheel was back on since i was getting ready to drop it and tension the bars.

after all the drama, the new pittman arm didnt have the mating marks so i made my best guess. i was off. the rig turns sharply to the right and not so sharply to the left. so im headed out to do it again and adjust by a spline. this time i am surrounding the rig with caution tape.
