Slam the burb and be done with it already!
I'll hopefully get to it in the spring. I moved away from my big shop that I use for storage about a year ago so I'm working in this little attached garage now until I can afford to build a new shop out back. Way too tight a fit trying to wrench on a burb in here over the winter.

Made some progress last night and today. First thing I did was what I figured would be an enjoyable task of bolting on the 4x4 hangers to the frame. All went well until I went to bolt up the lower support brackets. Line up the existing holes and the shackle bolt didn't line up. Always something....

Luckily the frame was wide enough to line up the shackle bolt and be able to drill some new holes in the frame. You can see my marks showing where the holes needed to be and then the final locations in the second shot.
