I will probably be down a few months between the surgery and physical therapy. So i'm hoping to get this side done so I can get started on the other side so I can get the truck out of the garage before my surgery.

Buddy, I know what your going through, it kills me that I only get a couple yours in a day. Same situation, numerous back surgerys from 2012 to current, I have 3 rods in my back fusing my spine to my pelvis. I cant bend for **** and when I do i get the Ole sciatica pain doesn't play nice. I sit in a chair most the time it seems.

That being said your build is pretty badass and your doing a great job. i Hope your doing well and continue to do so.... don't push it too hard. its very easy to hurt yourself further, just by lifting too much or twisting wrong and set you back further. Ask me how I know.
I've been lucky so far not needing a fusion, Thanks its finally coming together, I've been taking it easy I know what you mean.

Thanks, The hip is starting to feel like its mine, but I still don't have full range of motion yet. but It does get better a little every day.

I temporary installed the battery so I can turn the truck around so I can do the other side of the bed.
