San Antonio

So what's up

 

Shifter replacement for a customer today.

 

Evening SA

 

I somehow managed to go a day or two without checking in here.

I must be adulting too hard.

 

Thanks. Nice bumper.

 

So I have blown 100 bucks before, but these guys who are paying 100 bucks to have a red button or trd shift know are ridiculous.

 

Automatic Transmission tear down and rebuild today.

 

That actually looks kinda fun

 

Yep, that's it alright!

 

Been there
Done that

 

Gets old in a hurry

 

Yea
Especially on your back in a driveway and turbo 350 comes off tranny jack and falls on your elbow.
It now predicts the weather

 

Tranny weatherman

 

Its the devil

 

Looks can be very deceiving lol

 

Alright, I have made up my mind what I can DIY with the old hitch, and new bumper. I really don't care if it ends up below the new bumper, where it was before - my ideal departure angle is walking upright anyway. And, I really don't want it poking through the plate with my back up cam. I've used it maybe three time, as a flag pole mount, so I have plenty of time to reinforce it later.
I'm going to take my circular saw, with a metal blade, and make a bunch of cuts on the vertical mount, right at the level where the horizontal frame mounts are.

That leaves me the four horizontal bolts to put it up with for now. Then I will find someone that can weld a tab to the outside, and the cutoff piece can be mounted outside the new bumper mounts - like the old one was modified to do.

The old bumper bracket was forced out by a thick washer at the bumper, then forced on.
