I have undone all the pedals, and steering wheel. I believe I have gotten all the wiring done as well. Everybody seems to wrap the roof with webbing by going through the doors. I figure it would be safer to just have straps go underneath the whole cab and then have the 2 straps go through my clevis loop. Is this not a good idea?
Regarding the cab lift - low probability but if the straps are under the cab bottom they could shift and the cab could roll, if the strap is under the roof that can’t happen. Only the paranoid survive!

I use my engine lift with a long 4x4 and lift internally and roll it around but it would be better I think to have a gantry.

Making good progress - keep it up!
