I tried very hard to not imbibe while turning the wrenches on this project. I didn't want the 520 to fall on me at home or break down in Wyoming next week when we are in the Medicine Bow National Forest.
Actually, breaking down and making my wife hike back to Saratoga where we are staying might end worse for me that the 520 dropping on top of me.
I thought about using my floor joist to winch the 520 up so I could get under it for the install. It's still in my storage room downstairs. It is too damn hot in Omaha to work on it out in the garage where it normally lives.

I put mine on my truck ramps. Worked out ok.

You not fat like me though 😂
You're not fat, not even fluffy!
Besides, @KYgal83 reminded me there were jacks and stands involved!
I have a skinny memory, apparently...
Work resumes tomorrow evening. Skid-plate and finishing up the turn signals and horn.
My trip is scheduled for next Wednesday, so I have time to really screw up between now and then.

I actually had a little time last night to work on things. Got the back half of the skid plates mounted. I also ran two extra wires from the front to the back for future accessories. Zip tied everything up nice and tidy

Did you happen to put anti seize on the skid bolts? Just more friendly advise, it'll come back to bite you if not. 👍

Ugh… everything else but not those. At least there are only 12 so far and spinning them out and back in will be easy as the skid plate will be held up as long as I do one at a time.

Someone gave me that advise early on and I chose not to take it. Bit me in the ass later.

That's a good looking skid plate.

Well tonight I decided to work on the rest of my electrical. I finally have all of the turn signals hooked up and everything seems to be working fine except for the driver side front.
I posted below in the Turn Pro signal vendor section. I also worked on my skid plate a little bit tonight, but of course the one broken bolt from the OEM skid plate is causing me all sorts of problems. I drilled a hole in the broken bolt and hammered in the extractor. Of course while I’m turning the extractor extractor broke off inside the hole of the bolt. Quite possibly the worst case scenario for trying to get this thing out.
it must be my special gift in life just to have a little more struggle than anybody should have.😂

Well as you could read it another thread I got the turn signals figured out. Or any of you that I’ve purchased the turn signal kit off of our side, do your Turn signals work even when the ignition is off?
I assume it’s so you could run the hazard/flashers even when the key is off.
