After It was on the ground I removed said 4x4 then bolted the doors back on for safe keeping of the interior till later. No bends, no tweaks, no errors.


Thank you for that! That was what i was looking for. I plan to strip the interior completely and doors, glass in, and use my fork lift and a 4x4. should be simple. thanks forum
