P1000 Skid plate install. Machine at 45 deg

[Kelldog]

Trying to figure out how to lift the front up at a 45 deg and support it so it doesnt fall on me. And where the lifting points are so not in the way of the install. Any pics or advice

neighbor has a huge back hoe but dont trust it without support

Try pulling to the side instead.
Have someone trusting guage tipping point, hate to flop it. Lol

This video is a little past tipping.

I tipped mine sideways and leaned on the tailgate of my pickup. Used the winch on my quad and a couple buddies.

I used my chain hoist to the front bumper To pull it up. Easy peasy!

I used a cable ratchet tied of to our clothes line post, worked great had good light!

Similar idea to the chain hoist . . . when I built the RV garage, I reinforced the finished attic floor to support an I-beam and hoist to allow moving heavy objects into the upstairs gun room (like a safe!). Also comes in handy for hoisting the Honda up or whatever else of reasonable size needs lifting to make work easier. I've lifted the sxs higher then this, also put one end on ramps and lifted the other etc.

lifted mine with chain hoist also then put alum. ladders under tires just in case

So nobody is concerned about the lift device failing? No jack stands?

I was for sure so I put 2 little giant ladders under the front tires

I also use jack stands (not shown in pic above), and sometime put one end on ramps before lifting the other. Just depends on how much room is needed. I've used 4 ramps as well, which works too if you can do without a whole lot of extra clearance.

I did all the drilling / tapping / installing laying on my back under the machine. Went pretty easy.

I used 4 ramps. Two 2x4s 3 jacks stands a couple of bottle jacks and some blocks. Just used the bottle jacks under the 2x4s with the big plate on top until I got it where it needed to be.

If you lift the front, stand straight up, very little weight to allow it to fall its all on rear tires, rollbar. Done a handful using a chain hoist in this manner. Using the winch is even faster.
