    :laugh: So that's what you did in college. Honestly while they're are loads of fun it'd be great to have someone more long term that I can connect with you now. One day :D
    Grad school... no thanks :D. Maybe if I knew what I wanted to do major & career wise but since I don't I'll be happy with a bachelor's degree :D.. . I'd die in grad school :anonymous:

    Side note, you free friday night? There's a pretty easy/laid back run in the works

    Yes sir. Can't get it to attach though, it's in quite a tricky spot guarded by the tranny and another doohickey next to it. Can just barely get my hands in there. Gonna try an attachment Johnston has tomorrow. If that doesn't work I'm just gonna drop the damn thing. Got the other 4 no problem though

    To any naysayers out there who say you can't lift a lifted truck with the bottle jack (I was one of them) here's proof you can.

    @dtaco06 had to test it myself with my jack to 100% believe it! Sure is a pain in the ass but it'll work if you're in a pinch.

    The point is $50k a year versus $100k a year

    Edit: to clarify- first jobs ish. With a masters you can almost guarantee your first job will be paying you near $80k if not more

    Please explain the drill method. I get it in theory, but how do you attach the cross bar to the drill? Pics would be nice if you have any.

    I have a 90 you can use.

    Not enough droop then. You need moar droop! Lol. But seriously, the hi lift sketches me out enough. I won't use a bottle jack at incline on shale rock. Driveway, sure.

    You're manual crank. Use your drill to operate it. C'mon, rook

    You're a far ass drive for a 90* to borrow.

    I wish moar droop. Side of the road I'll use this method any day over a hi lift. Off road, I'll risk the hi lift. Waiting on @Shmellmopwho to come up with a cool mount for my floor jack in the bed though.

    I get the drill turns it, but where do you attach the crank to the drill? I'll just YouTube it...

    I'm aure you'll have a reason to say nopers but look at the Pro Eagle floor jack. Hands down the best floor jack for off road.

    Also, you know you could always come over and chill and have beers and use my 90. It doesnt always have to be just business. Stop using me. Lol
