Out of town now and laptop doesn't have pics. I used a combo of high-lift, engine hoist, tall jacks, and sizably lengthed 4x4s. Lifted the body enough to roll the chassis out and replace again, on my lonesome... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

That will be cool to see...although the old Broncos are one of only 2 vehicles that I think are cooler looking than the Monty's. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />


You said 2... I'm curious - what's the other one?

Personally, I think the old Broncos, the IH Travelall 4x4, pre-1990 Land Cruisers, and the Jeep Grand Wagoneer (used to have one!) are all cooler looking than the Monty, but the Monty is more reliable, more practical, and has better features than all of them, except for maybe the land cruiser. But where I live the old land cruisers are made primarily of iron oxide now while my Monty is suprisingly rust free for a PA car.

Old Landcruiser, you nailed it. Although I saw an old International 2 door pickup that looked really badass.
