Here we are 3 years later. How did it turn out? How did you get access to the underside of your ute?

I am encountering the same problem. Access.

I have the entire shell on stands and I can get to the underside of the tray easy enough on stands but not to the underside of the cabin nor the front end.

I have thought of hoisting the front of the car up, but what prevents the back from sliding off the stands and killing yourself as the car swings into you?

I have also thought of building a frame out of SHS and bolting the shell to it so that I can hoist the entire car off the frame....but too $$$$ and I can't weld.

Thoughts? What have people done before?
