I'm not 100% on the ARK yet so there's a chance I may join you guys in the FI club

. The Ark seems to sit lower so hopefully that's not an issue.

One particular bolt I rounded and had to drill out...otherwise everything can be done by hand.

If you're just doing the cat-back you shouldn't have a problem with bolts. Hit them with PB Blaster or something similar before hand if you're nervous about them being stuck.

Well, I bit the bullet and went against the grain by ordering the Ark Grip V2 CBE. Looking forward to having an exhaust note

nobody up for the bonfire/haunted prison?

So, I don't know why.....but I bought a treadmill for my home gym project today (pain cave!) I haven't been able to run for 6 months! After years of running/triathlon/mtb racing I ended up with some nasty plantar fasciitis in my feet. Hopefully, I'll be back at it soon, but I really don't know!

I just have to decide whether I'm going to stick this into my basement budget or put off my Stillen Gen3 purchase for a another month or two! LOL I know how you feel now Zman! I want to get this project done so I can get out more!

Yeah....it's been more than a year my PF has been going on. I've tried everything but cortizone shots and surgery to date, including 4 months of physical therapy that I did in conjunction with PT for a broken collar bone I did on a mountain bike trip. I also work with a coach/trainer on my overall training for races. He's tried several things as well. Finally, 6 months ago, he decided to stop me from running all together and add in a day a week of mobility/strength exercises. He's got a goal for me to ba able to do 10 pistol squats each leg before I can run again, to prove I have the mobility to quit getting injured. It's been quite a mess! It's cost me a lot of run fitness and added about 20 lbs to my wasteline!

Plantar fasciitis will do that. Terribly painful. I had it in both of my feet at the same time and it put me out of action for about 8 months. 12 weeks of rehab and pt sessions. Thankfully, it hasn't popped it's head since then. I learned that because of other injuries, I was running and walking incorrectly- trying to compensate where weight is being distributed.

That's kind of where I'm at. Both feet. I think it stems from the 1 broken ankle and 4 sprains that I've had. I'm not really changing my run form but more working on my flexibility and strength so that it corrects itself. I'm a weird runner. My coach noticed right away and was kind of amazed I could run 7min/miles without really moving my hips! LOL

Yep, my plantar fasciitis came from about 20 sprains on each ankle....
