Just saw this - effing brilliant.When doing the wiring in my shop I needed a cheap way to get up to the 14' ceiling. So I bought 2 of the Metal Tech scaffolding systems that can be stacked to get up that high. I also ordered the outrigger stablizers. Each scaffold will support 1000 lbs. One day while working on putting in the conduit for the lights, I discovered that the scaffold would fit over top of the FJ 40! Made a great way to get to the ceiling over top of the FJ40 with out moving it out of the way. I started parking it over top of it just to get it out of the way of other projects.
The very first thing I needed to move was the scaffold that was siting over top of the FJ40. As I was moving it I had one of those DUH! moments... Staring me in the face was the perfect solution... I grabbed a couple of big ratchet straps and 10 minutes later I had a mobile body crane! I have since went to four straps so that I can raise and lower the front or rear to work on either end of the bottom, or I can lower all four to get it all the way down to work on the interior. I can easily move it by myself on concrete. I have a gravel drive, so in order to get it outside for sand blasting, I am working on using air filled lawn mower tires welded to adapters that will fit the scaffold.
OK, there is your update for the month...
