Not sure I will check tonight and post the make tomorrow, they are hard plastic and are not super expensive. I bought a kit that will do the complete kit and it comes with hardware for 95 dollar.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

So sorry to hear about your son. I broke my leg when I was 4, and I can remember having to deal not moving around and being sore (well, at least from what I can remember). I'll definitely keep y'all in my prayers and pray for a very quick recovery and no permanent damage.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

I just read through all your builds and all I can say is WOW! Speed and quality tend to be mutually exclusive. And with a dental practice. And with a wife. And with kids. Holy crap man! That's a lot of 5 hr energy, redbull, monster, mt. dew, whatever. Why, I got tired just reading the builds.

As for your little guy, I pray he is doing better. If it is a sprain, I would recommend following the acronym R.I.C.E.

Rest - bed rest with foot elevated above heart, aids in drainback
Ice - 20 minutes of ice every 2 hours
Compress - compression bandage to minimize swelling and aid in drainback
Elevate - elevate foot above heart

If his shin is extremely painful, it could be a high ankle sprain. Thankfully for me mine have all been low ankle sprains (basketball, volleyball, tall man sports) and by following the acronym above, I've bounced back within a week and a half. Since he's young he should come back even quicker.

Additionally, I personally took 400mg of Ibuprofen every 4 hours with food, as presribed on the back of the bottle. I am unsure about kids under 12 yrs of age though. Check with the dr as I know that Ibuprofen can be hard on your stomach. However, nothing takes down inflammation faster than nSAIDs.

Lastly, the more protein you can get in him, the quicker he will heal. Protein will rebuild the damaged cells in his leg.

Hope this helps!

The name of the clamps are tclamps. Should be able to buy the kit online. So I got a lot done last night but I do not have time to get the pics posted today and they should be up by tomorrow. I have the panhard bar on diff cover all the brakelines ran and air ride lines ran. It is coming out really good and I am super happy with it. The cab is going to leave tomorrow for paint and I will have the bed on by Sunday. I get the motor on Saturday so I am making great progress. Hope you guys like it. Thnis has to be back together by april 14 th we will see. Later Eric

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

My son is super sore and he still can't stand on his right leg. If he is not standing on it by friday he wil be going to an orthopedic surgeon for a 3rd consult. He is just really not doing that great. If you touch his shin he screams. Just does not seem like a sprain to me.
