Here They Are!!!!
Now, to the pictorial installation of the lift. I will add some comments here and there!! I want to say first and foremost, I couldn't have done this without the help of my brother-in-law Brent and his friends Jay and Mike (Jay and Mike were there from 3pm to 3 am.) Also I had some help from my buddies Drew and Joel (they were there from 9am to 1pm Saturday, also they both provided irreplaceable assets for forgotten parts and needed hardware!!!)
We began the lift on Saturday 4/21/07 @ 10:00 am. I will let the pictures do the talking.
Next.....

Jay (the bald one) then took over to cut w/ the plasma for a while! Brent is the one in the black beanie hat...
That's Mike working the drill for the steering box!! I would help a lot, however when I wasn't being used I was snapping pictures!
