ariffle I understand the concern about those jacks. I haven't had any catastrophic failures with them yet but I have one that tends to bleed down. I've got 3 of them and despite quality concerns they're still a vast improvement over working with bumper jacks like I used to (back in the day). I've used some pretty ramshackle methods for supporting vehicles but I always try to find material that won't crush or tip.
As you may have been able to ascertain from some of the photos I've posted, I'm organizationally challenged. Half of the work I've done has been out in the driveway because the garage tends to fill with parts. Usually there's at least 2 or 3 slow moving projects going on at the same time. Amongst the clutter I'm always hunting for stuff. - Usually something I had in my hands just a few minutes before. :banghead:
