Just want to say a huge
THANK YOU
to Buggin for coming first thing this morning after working all night.
Could of never done it without him moving what he did
now for the rest of it, all room's have stuff in them, have to tear my "work desk" apart to get it out of the upstairs and of course they won't pay me to do it.
another 5 days and I may have everything moved

Tom it was an absolute pleasure to help ya out! I love your new place, it just like brand new and man oh man you have a killer garage! Can't wait to have a bonfire or two once your settled in

It's really quite simple. It's just a piece of steel approx. 2 1/4"x1 1/8" if I remember correctly. The piece is big enough to span the hole opening length wise (the 2 1/4"), the 1 1/8" is just tall enough to allow you to slide it into the opening but give enough material for strength. Then you drill the hole offset on one side of the plate and use your self tapping bolt to thread it prior to installing. Then comes the part where ya have to hold your tounge just right, you install the bolt in the lower left front mounting hole and start the bolt into the plate just enough for the bolt to grab it, then you have to angle the plate into the hole while holding your rail up but getting the plate to go into the hole. Once ya get the plate to slide into the hole, bolt up the remaining bolts but do not tighten the rest of the bolts, get your pinch weld bolts installed then tighten all mounting plates bolts down then your pinch weld bolts. The poof your done I am not sure if any of this is making any sence as I am writing this with NOOOOO sleep but really it is very simple. If ya want to I would be thrilled to help ya out in my errrrrrr ahhhhhh I mean Tom's new garage and I am sure he wouldn't mind YOU using his new kick ars man cave But then again ya might want to ask Big Dad first then I will offer my help once Big Dad grants you some floor space in his HUGE man cave P.S. Big Dad is taking donations for 220 out to the man cave in exchange for work performed on any ones KJ

How thick of steel would you say?? I'd love to have the rails stalled in Mudd's NEW MegaGarage but I don't know if I can wait that long.

I wish I lived a bit closer or I would have been there lending a hand in the move too. That Pathos must be a pain in the arse to move unless you just cut it down to a reasonable lenght. Still haven't found that map to hidden treasure on the property yet?

It's just a hair over an 1/8" thick, not quite 3/16". Yea the peice of steel you cut has to be big enough to span the hole but yet small enough to wiggle into place. I got lucky with my plates as they worked perfect the first go around If ya make it up here for the install, I have plenty of that steel laying around that we can make ya up some plates
After not sleeping for a shade over 24 hours I got 12 hours of straight sleep
Got up like I had missed sumtin, like a day or two Promptly went outside and changed my spark plugs, washed my Jeep, shop vacced and cleaned windows for the road trip up to MI today. All before my first cup of coffee
Now if I can only get home in time tonight to do some more NEEDED wrenchin, just may pull out the shop lights so I can first thing in the am run my front shocks over for the swap and then drop it off for an alignment to pick up Monday night before work Somewhere in there I will need sleep for work

Megalos
to do the rails right with the metal plate you have to install you either need two people or must have fingers on your feet to hold, wiggle, move, wiggle.....well you get it
Garage is or can be ready anytime now. House a while yet
Mine goes in close to the door but makes it,
with bumper two foot from the door still have 15 foot behind it, 8 or 9 feet to either side, ALMOST big enough

In town 10 minutes two trains go through horns blaring, one e-squad and two police sirens , plus neighbors yelling, time to head back to the country

Buggin...do what I do when I need to catch up on sleep...do it at work .

Tomm...Hopefully I'll get the rails on before the rescheduled M&G at the new Mudd's Garage but who knows. I have a neighbor that's not too bright but he might be the extra set of hands I'll need to get the rails and shim on.

I hope your new place is turning out to be all you wanted and more.

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Had a great Mothers Day with all the Mom's today up in MI But the entire time I am watching the clock and seeing the beautiful day outside thinking of what I could have gotten done Got home at 7:30pm and got to WRENCHIN! Slammed the rears first, springs, a extra upper iso, shocks and bumpstops, will do brake line extension later, just pulled bolt and pulled the line down a tad By the way Tom my sleeves worked AWESOME! Threw it back on the ground with a HUGE SMILE, couldn't pause too long as daylight was almost gone! Threw the front up on stands and tore it all down with my flashlight cause I forgot my shop lights at work! Now first thing in the am I will be at the spring shop getting them swapped out in hopes they do them right away for me so I can get back home and throw it all back together and depending on when I get it done I may have time to get it up for an alignment and hopefully get a few hours sleep BEFORE I get to work If any one sleeps at my job they are done, so I must get some sleep or duct tape my eyelids open and hook up a coffee iv My parts pile is smaller, my smile is much bigger and my Jeep is SOOOOOO high!

I bet ya had the best night sleep there in a long time, glad your so happy with your new place I know I am happy with my new garage Dad

Buggin, if you take apart old front spring/shock assembly, please measure the spring from floor to top coil....just been thinkin & need measurement!

Wen tto church yesterday, wife came home, promptly took a nap so I cleaned kitchen for her( ugh, how does she let dishes pile up like that, double sink and stove covered )
Then threw some turkey burgers on the grill. After that, went over to visit my mom for a bit, then came home and worked on dad's tractor. Weird that this is first year neither of our families had any type of get together on mom's day
