Build Isuzu 4BD1T Lexus LX450 (Land Cruiser) Build

So the reciepient truck I bought need some help getting into the garage. My garbage can made a nice bumper as I didn't want to scratch stuff. On a side note I bought this gantry a long time ago and I highly recommend them. Before, I use to use cherry pickers, but these thing make pulling engines a breeze.

Ha! Thats funny. I use an old tire on the front of the Mule to push on things. Nice work

I was looking for a tire but only found ones on rims. Garbage can regains its shape if you fill it with water for a day. Found this note from my oldest daughter in my lunch box the other day.
Happy Easter!

That gantry is pretty cool. Two quick questions: 1 - how tall is it in your garage, 2 - where'd you get it?
Thanks!

Isuzu 4BD1-T swap into a '92

So, after much research, thinking, research, buying parts, waiting on parts, and planning, I kinda ran out of excuses to not get started. I have had my eye on a diesel swap for over a year, and after much consideration, went with the Isuzu 4bd1-t. My first and foremost goal is range and...

Garage has 10ft ceilings, it's a few inches shorter than that. Really would like the ceiling to be 1ft taller. Loose a lot of height with the chain block and trolley. Origionally bought it from a friend. It was a static lift but I cut its legs to fit and welded on some Angle on the bottom and put some metal casters. Works great. Can pull an engine and tranny together by myself. Gives lots of fine control.
