The lug wrenches and jacks that are factory supplied in these new cars are full of crap.

I think manufacturers are handicapping people so they are forced to call AAA or a dealer.

The jack in the caravan is stupid and it has a 3 inch lug wrench, give me a break, after a tire shop probably hammered it with an impact.

I have my 3 foot breaker bar and my little floor jack in my car, so I got it done with my tools with almost no effort, and in minutes

That junk in the caravan would have taken forever

Yes ma'am. Tried taking the lugnuts off of a Chev 3500 pickup using a standard 4 way.. wasn't happening.. Had some pretty big fellers try. got 1 out of 8. A 3/4 inch ratchet and a piece of pipe fixed it right up..

Throw in your cordless impact and really go to town. I stopped to help a gal once when I was on my tool route. A in stock floor jack and a cordless impact and the whole thing took 10 min.

Nice day in Fargo! NDSU Bison won the National Championship yet again for football. Div1 . They rocked it! I went to a Bantams Hockey tournament instead! Hah! Neighbor slayed the perch today ice fishing so I see a fish fry in my future. In my Jammie's with a adult beverage, fire roaring cat in my lap dog at my feet. Life is good.

One more thing in the tool box and then have the batteries go dead. Screw that. Already carrying at least 100 lbs of tools in two boxes. if I can't change a tire with that, I might as well hang it up.
Only time I bring a cordless impact and a floor jack has been to speed tire changes at autocross. Even then, break 'em loose and final torque by hand.
I agree that trucks can be difficult. Took a lot of jumping up and down to break loose the nuts on the park baby dump - but we got it done.

That's great news with NDSU. We, K-State recently hired your coach away. So far I like what he has had to say. We're ready for a change. Hartman did a great job, but after 29 years we needed a change. Looking forward to Coach Klieman!! :thumbsup:

They just put a as little jack in there as they can to meet the requirements...
