I Almost Died Today!!

Wow! Great to hear you're alive. :) As you now know, a hoist on grass/dirt/gravel is a bad idea but I'm not going to pontificate as I know you will never do it again. Like I said, I'm just dang glad you're alive.

Speaking of unsafe, I just picked up another 4.0L engine for my Jeep yesterday. The guy owned a shop and had a hoist but decided to pick the engine up on a leg of his two poster through the chain. I backed my RC up and it slid right in, and he let it down. It worked out and was fast but made me very nervous. It's still in the back of my truck and I'm getting the upper and lower control arms done before I push the Jeep out and back the RC in on concrete so I can pick it up on a hard surface with my hoist and a hook.

BTW, he had a nice Chrysler 400 for sale for 300 bucks. :)
