whatever works man I wish you had been around when I did mine. I let almost all the air outta the tires used a cherry picker on the front to get it up, a set of saw horses and a 2X4X12 let it down on that went to the back with the cherry picker hooked my four wheeler on the front and pulled the frame out. Deffinatly sucks when you have no help and limited resources.

"our crane? you work for a company with a crane or own one you keep in your backyard? assuming it's work, what do you do?
Yea, I had some cash to blow so I bought a 20 ton crane.

I work for Case Wireline, we are an Oil Field business. I get to play with Primacord and Shape Charges EVERYDAY.......:woot:

Man you have now idea. Here is a list of the crap I know my boss has.
05 or 06 Ford GT. Yea, the $250,000 200mph car.
06 GT-500
60something Cuda # matching all OEM.
60something Cuda 572 CI ALL aluminum Chevy, with a Blower. (tube frame bla bla bla)
$45,000 Nascar Simualtor. Spelling
3 Harleys. One of them Is a Covengton Custom.
Harley Dirt Drag Bike.
A man Basket to hunt Deer out of.
Prolly 50 Rifles and shot guns. All Weaterby, and Bennelly. Spelling again
I spent 2 days hanging Deer stands with that Crane.
Around 7-10 Bowtech bows.
06 GIANT motor home. I heard it was $400,000.


Thats just what I can think of right now.
Coolest thing is, I have gotten a 160 mph ride in the GT, a ride in the Blown Cuda, drunk driving the Simualtor, Oh yea, he has a Vending machine that spits out ice cold Bud Light for free...:icon_hornsup:

Kinda makes me jelous, but he works harder than ANYONE in the shop. So its not so bad knowing that he works for it, not given to him like some other people I have worked for.
