Title: Bumper time!
Post by: FixItGuy on September 28, 2015, 05:16:08 PM: Howdy!

Mike/Mr Painroller/Fixitguy here... Anybody up for helping me muscle a winch and plate bumper onto the Mule after work this week? Barb and I got the rear installed yesterday; but I'm going to need some extra oomph (and probably a floor jack) to get the front bumper where it needs to be.

Let me know. Thanks!

Since we live in an apartment, it would be awesome if we could come to someone's driveway to get this thing done. ;)

I hear an engine hoist works really well. That's what Jordan told me.

With CaWoody on the job, their was no doubt.

Supervisors are like windshield wiper blades, you don't appreciate them when things go well, but when the sh** hits the fan... the squirter thingy helps too.

The Little Mule gotta look GOOD for the mall crawlin'! (Jealous much, ladies?) ;) Actually, I think it's the wax we used. Just washed and buffed...

His Designer/Architectural eye came in handy a couple of times. That and his muscles. Glad he was there to lend a hand. ;D

I checked the pinstripes are still there and very uneven between the two side. Just like the hella horns one is higher than the other :-p I noticed after my near deaf experience.
