I was able to help a friend of mine is put a 2" lift on a '73 Ford Bronco. In order to do this you gotta first remove the VERY RUSTED bolts that hold the frame and body togather. Around these bolts are the original heavy rubber bumpers with steel washers. He was trying to pry at it with a heafty screwdriver but the tip was not deep in enough, I thought my S6 would alteast help, it did, we were able to tear/cut off the rubber bumpers with the S6 making room got the saws-all to do its job. There was a point where I pounded my S6 in with a hammer and pryed on it with all my weight, then I heard a loud low pich "snap" my heart just about skiped a beat as I thought' "Great I just broke my faveorite knife." Then I pulled my S6 out an the tip was still there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I was extreamly relived to see my S6 in one piece. Upon further inspection I did break a tiny little bit of the knife's tip off. but not bad at all. The black stuff all over the knife is burnt rubber we tried a tourch to get thoses nasty bumpers off. There are also a few small dents/rolls in the edge where I was pounding it with a hammer in to a steel collar or bolt that is inside the rubber bumper. This pounding also caused some light deformation of the spine from the hammer strikes. The whole thing took a long time and was a tricky in such tight spaces. My friend was impressed with my knife saying "Wow that is a tough knife." I smiled and said, "I know, I love it." Here are some pics of the aftermath, again I am more than pleased with how well this knife stood up to the unreanonable abuse that would have failed any other knife and voided its warrantee. ![[Linked Image from i152.photobucket.com]](http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s163/james_bond827/P4180221.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i152.photobucket.com]](http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s163/james_bond827/P4180229.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i152.photobucket.com]](http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s163/james_bond827/P4180227.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i152.photobucket.com]](http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s163/james_bond827/P4180224.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i152.photobucket.com]](http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s163/james_bond827/P4180223.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i152.photobucket.com]](http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s163/james_bond827/P4180222.jpg)
