Well with hardly any blood lose, frame has been removed and starting to replace all the 25 plus bolts that hold the frame in place.

Only one accident, I forgot to undo the fuel lines from the diverter valve

... and we know what happens... broken part.

Should have frame all secure and maybe drivable by tomorrow finish. After that... body repairs......uggg lol

The real injuries are to our bodies.Stiff necks,sore backs, scratched arms and general sore muscles. All for the love of the truck. And I will do it again next week.

Lol, Roy speaks the truth, today was a re-coup day.

The guys an animal, I'm sure if he could, he'd sleep with a torque wrench by his side ...hehhehe

PS. I did notice some of his elves were there this week as well when I left the front Springs and a arm were still on and when I came back they were off and most of the frame bolts was taken apart

This was how it looked when I left

I put the front shock Tower half on to make it look like I was doing something.



But I'm sure Roy Knows by those half turned Bolts, it's not even close to being installed...
