    Hey everyone I wanted to say a huge thank you to those of you who participated in my charity raffle. I was able to raise $685 to give away and that's huge. We did have 1 Tacoma World winner it was @916TacoTruck Mike you won a 2 hour gift card. Let me know what you want to do if you're not the tattoo type! Thanks to everyone else @BudMan @Gply @DannyBFresco I think I'm forgetting someone it's been a long day sorry!

    Here is the link to the FB video and you can also check my IG @jbrucetattoos for the post

    Should have done a better job securing them. Even though I have plans to paint the cabinets, they now have "skid marks".

    thanks a lot Bret, I hope you'll be back! I also do this every year so better luck next year. I'm thinking of maybe doing 10 gift certs next year for $60 each

    Awesome Mike let me know and congrats! I was hoping one of the TW peeps would win

    That will be my next jack if this one dies. My buddy bought one on a decent deal and we've had no problems plus they are apparently cool with you returning it every year for a new one to keep it fresh regardless of function if you buy the 1 year warranty.

    9 years with no lifting issues. Haven't changed or added any fluid. It is noticeably less responsive when lowering though. The drop is hard to control. It could be me since I'm 9 years older and less responsive...image.jpg

    How much lift do they provide? Maybe my step dad would like a little lift.

    I have the same problem, it has a "catch" in the handle when turning to lower, and it is REALLY hard to get it to lower smoothly, usually it's all at once.
