    Lots of excitement this week - but so far the deliveries aren't working out.

    My winch was supposed to arrive today, but they couldn't find the house (new neighborhood - doesn't show up on all maps) I gave them some directions and I guess they will try again tomorrow.

    Skids went to wrong address. They will be re-routed - won't be here today as planned but as long as they are here this week it's all good.

    Bumper delivery tomorrow is making me nervous - talked to them earlier and she seemed unsure due to the fact that they thought it was a residential address and it's a business address. Idk. Hopefully it all shows up so it can get installed this weekend!

    These people are stressing me out!!!!

    Man! That blows. Just give them my address on the winch and I will get it to you.

    Use the winch to life the bumper up??? While the winch is mounted...

    Perfect!

    I could use mine to hoist it but we have nothing to winch to or hang a snatch block from in our short ceiling garage

    Thats what wood and or card board are for. Gotta protect it until it gets scratched on the trails!

    I guess it depends on the jack and what you have to use between it and the bumper. Wouldnt be easy but probably better than trying to hold it with only 2 people. At least if you could balance it with 1 person holding it while the other gets 2 bolts started.

    It will mount up too high for a jack plus someone has to balance on both sides and someone has to work the jack... three people can mount it easier by hand lol

    I was thinking you could balance it while @MellyMel jacks it. :anonymous:

    I do agree it would be easier and safer with 3 people.

    I'm not gonna risk fucking up her bumper. I don't need another reason for her to give me shit.

    Totally understandable. I would only use that method as a last option after exhausting all effort of finding help.
