The best way to start this entry is to say that it went very quickly, nobody got hurt, and the Willys wasn't damaged.
It'd been in the backyard under the swing set since last August, so my dad and I started by dragging it through the gate (on the left in the pic below), lifting and sliding in various combinations to get it this far. (Normally this is where I park the Big Jeep.)
Then we eased it onto the driveway and laid it down on two 2"x2"s to avoid finger pinches.At this point, the rest of the crew (my 5'0" mother and my 5'0" wife) helped us lift it up from the four corners, raise it high enough to clear the V8, and set it on the body.
I had another pair of 2"x2"s laid across the chassis to make sure the tub didn't get scratched up and hung up. That also helped me see rough what its ride height will be.
Job done.
Just for fun I added in the seats and gave the kids each a turn in the driver's seat.
