trying to figure out the easiest way to lift the body off the frame of the jeep. Don't own nor want to buy an engine hoist, which would be the easy solution. I own some pipe stands that would support the body once I get it lifted. May spend $250 and buy a Harbor Freight engine hoist before it is over. Tried to find a used one and everyone wants $300 for used ones.

Be careful and don’t get hurt. Safety first before cost. Engine hoist and proper stands will be cheaper than hospital bill

Better take cyclist up on his offer. My generation was all about shade trees and oak limbs with a few chain hoists. Lift engine out, move body on wheels and lift body off. However a HOA may go ballistic on you😉

Need it again when i drop the body back on the frame in a month or so.

Flew from FLL to Biloxi and then spent time setting up the hotel room bar. Fiji water brings me good luck (sometimes)🙄

Cut the yard, put out a low nitrogen/high potassium fertilizer, and sprayed the yard with RGS (Root Growth Stimulator). Wanted to get all this down hoping it's going to rain this afternoon.

So far, picked up the engine hoist from Cyclist, bought three Blueberry bushes and two Azalea bushes, and planted and watered them. While out running around, ran into the evil Girl Scouts and had to buy some Girl Scout cookies. Now I'm drinking my V8 juice for lunch and deciding what to do next.

I probably should start a thread on this but:
V8 Juice > Tomato juice!
