And a random pic, because our small local coast guard boats need 50 caliber machine guns mounted on the front to protect the cruise ships.

Hopefully by the end of this week everything will be done! Lift and wheels/tires and alignment and bumper mounted.

Oh yah, i realize the jack stands look sketchy. I made sure that it was well balanced AND THEN I added 4 tires to the back of my truck to make sure there is extra weight for extra safety.

I look forward to seeing the new setup. That coast Guard Boat looks like a row boat next to the cruise ship.
