Interesting problem... so why don't you head up to ZdayZ now and when we get there we will wake you up... believe me, we all want you fresh for this event..

It usually takes me a night to get acclimated in a new place, then good luck waking me up.

Speaking of sleeping, getting tired again and might take a nap.

To install the bushing. I use 1/2" all thread, about 10" long. Double nut the one end. 3 thick 1/2" washers on both ends. 2 pieces of 3/8" thick 4"x4" plate with a 1/2" hole in the center.

Put 3 washers on the double nut end of all thread, then 1 of the 4x4 squares. Put that though the hole and the bushing, from the rear. In the front. Now install the other 4x4 piece, then the 3 washers, and then the nut.

It should look like this. 1 nut, 3 washers, 4x4 plate, bushing, frame, 4x4 plate, 3 washers, double nut.

Put your wrench on the double nut, and another wrench on the front nut and start to tighten down. The wrench in the rear. You can leave it rest on the body when tightening. You don't have to hold it. The front nut. You may have to do what is called double wrenching. That's where you take one wrench and place the box end into the open end of the wrench the is on the nut. What you are doing is making the wrench longer for more torque.

Ok, So I think Im doing pretty much what youve described with a couple differences, but same concept:

I have a 6" 1/2" bolt going from front to back, followed by a couple washers, then a 4"x4" (or maybe 3.5 x 3.5) galvanized plate. Then bushing frame. On the other side of the frame is the bushing itself, then the metal plate from one of the front bushings, 3 washers and a nut.

I have a passthrough ratchet wrench holding the nut (and letting it rest on the car frame as Im tightening the bolt), and enough space underneath with the QJ so I can use an 18" breaker bar. But the torque im pulling on the bolt when Im tightening must be 50-60 ft/lbs, if not more. Pretty exhausting.

Whatever they tell you, be polite and professional and tell them it is too low of an offer.

Once you play this game and reach an impasse, ask to speak to the adjusters manager.

Do some homework, have some facts and info to tell them and keep telling them that you can’t settle for their offered amount.

You have to play them. Their job is to settle with you for as low as possible of a number... :shakes head:

I'm definitely going to keep those points in mind. Thank you!

Ive never had problems sleeping in a new place. My problem was waking up and the first few seconds, not knowing where Im at.

Sounds like the same set up as me.

A piece of pipe over the breaker bar will help you out.

Coyote Ugly. Wake up, look over and go WTF. It's still sleeping on your arm. So you chew your arm off to get away without waking it. If it's really bad. You chew off both arms. That's a Double Coyote Ugly,

I have this problem virtually everywhere. I'm not sure if its a strong survival instinct gone wrong or something else, but unless I'm truly exhausted, noise or motion will wake me immediately.

While I was on active duty, I normally slept under the 5 ton holding the shelter, with a 400 Hz generator about 10' away. I'd wake up when the generator shut off. :eek::eek:

While I can go to sleep almost anywhere, the least little noise will wake me up and I'll have to check the house before I go back to sleep. Hotels drive me nuts, I ask for a room on the highest floor, the farthest from the elevator. :icon14::icon14:

If I fall a sleep with a tv or radio on. Someone shuts them off. I'm up. If there is some type of change around me. Light, or noise. I'm up.

I think when youre in the military, you learn how to sleep where ever you are. I used to sleep in the 1' space behind our wall lockers in Basic Training. In Germany, outside on a cot in 10 degree weather. Once, my unit was the designated Red Force, formed up in a Task Force unit. We slept in our armored vehicle. When I woke up, the whole dang task force was GONE! thats about 25 M1 Tanks, Bradley IFV's and M113's starting up and moving around. Nobody bothered to wake us up. Probably thought we were broke down. Me and my squad couldnt even wake up to a whole dang armored task force maneuvering..lol
