I tend to come up with new and unusual ways to work on my bronco and I thought I would show you my latest and greatest fun way to work underneath mine without crawling around on the floor or fighting a creeper .
Hal9000; Cool pic though! You should PS the straps out and tell people you filled the tires with Helium....[/QUOTE said:I like that idea
Full droop. Good balance point too. can you spin it?
Uhh, hate to say it, but I sure wouldn't feel comfortable working under that vehicle. No positive safety and since you can't turn gravity off......QUOTE]
I agree, at least put some pipe stands under the axles just in case...

Just so everyone understands ... I don't lift it that high to work on it . I lift it that high to move it from one end of the building (over other objects) to the other end so that I can lower it and work on it . I recently replaced the rear axle seals and did this with the crane by just lifting the rear of the bronco slightly off the ground . When I went to put the tires back on , I had problems with the whole rear of the vehicle moving . I know the consequences of gravity and falling objects and I don't work underneath the bronco while it's hanging . I want to thank you guys for pointing out the flaws in my work station but I'm not looking to be the poster child for stupid accidents ;D ;D ;D I'm only half as dumb as I look

I was def. not trying to find fault. I figured that things were generally safe and I'm glad you thought about that kind of thing already. For me it's just a bit of the old "every gun is loaded" mentality (I used to be a rifle instructor too).
Nice tool boxes!!
