Can I use a Smittybuilt winch on a Fb002 bumper?

Sure, why not.

Time to rip this thing apart! Prep for hangers, cut, drill, weld, etc. Then off to the blaster & coater.

Hey Chris. How long does it take your guys to completely remove the body of a van from the frame (like in the above post)? How long to put them back together? I'm sure it varies a bit depending on a lot of details, but can you ballpark it for me? I'm just curious....

I could answer that... maybe
If the interior is empty and zero rust a body can be lifted rather quickly. (No complications)
But I'm not Chris, he'll chime in with a more accurate description.

You sure? Y'all look alike.

If we ever buy a house again (we don't own one now because we move around too much), the first thing I'm getting is a lift. Then I'm tearing my van apart and doing this.

Every van is different and like Rob said, interior vs no interior is a huge factor. One guy can have a body pulled in less than a day. Body bolts are usually seized so they can add time for cutting/etc.

Thanks, Chris. That's what I was looking for. Just some reasonable estimate.
