I picked up a Valley receiver hitch yesterday for the rear of my 05 2dr
Figuered I would put it on this morning
It bolts threw the forward bumper mount bolts and another existing hole in the frame
I thought the upper forward OEM bumper bolts were a PIA to get out ,why did they have to put the bumper cap strut directly inline with it ?
After about a hour I have 5 of the 6 new bolts in
The new bolts have bumper bolt cap heads and re-enforcement plates and its pretty tuff to fit my hand in there and be able to see as well
I think I may have gas'd myself with a propane construction heater trying to stay warm
I will go back at it again tommorrow

 

Wife wouldnt go for purchasing a monkey
Loosened off the other bumper bracket bolts and the was able to get the remaining bolt in
Wish I would have walked away from it sooner
Sprayed the hell out of it with fluid film hoping that it wont be all rust by spring

 

careful with those contruction heaters... I just went to a friends funeral a couple months ago. He used one to keep his garage warm while he went out there to smoke weed and play guitar. Then he moved to a new house that had a better insulated garage and continued his same habits. His wife found him collapsed behind the man-door in the morning when she wondered why he never came in to go to bed. We figure he was sitting around and getting light headed, then when he stood up to go in or open a door or something, and got a blood rush it made him pass out where he died... I wont run mine inside ever again since I lost a friend that way.

 

I have been slowly bettering my garage ,doors and windows
The heavy covering in and around of snow probably has sealed it up better than normal
I made sure to leave than man door open about a foot the second time I was out there

Didnt really know the symptons of Carbon monoxide poisoning
