i actually feel tired when i get a full 8 hrs of sleep.. im weird.
My GF is in bed by 11

 

can relate. Although I know I really need a good 7 or 8 I rarely can do more than 5 1/2. Sucks.

 

Meh. I’m pretty convinced.

That’s 16,110 pounds.

 

she thinks im nuts. but eh. i go to bed around now actually and we both wake up around 6:30-7. her typically first.. because that woman and her long ass showers.

 

push on it side to side. thats where lifts like that can get dangerous.

 

So when it comes time to swap my trans, i'll head around the corner to your place.

 

It’s my only choice when it comes to lifts. Other than that, there’s the scissor lifts that give you more height — but no access to the exhaust and transmission. That’s more for oil changes and tires.

 

I gave up trying to convince Miguel to buy a full size lift for the legitimate shop he has access to. I even offered to pay for part of it.

 

scissor lifts are even worse!..

ive been looking at quick jacks. but just for light work.. heavy suspension work jack stands are still superior because way less shit in the way

 

more height as well - and this is just the HF ones.

 

NEVER use a jackstand at the max height... bad things happen... i usually leave 2 notches. they get too wobbly to trust at their max

 

well, it is his father's shop. When he owns his own, then he can call the shots.

 

oh if you buy good american made heavy ass jacks there safe at full height.. but the regular run of the mill ones.. dont trust em

 

right, agree but point being those surpass the ones I have now which max out at 23.

I saw something like this (at least I think it was) being used at a MOD Day to while leaf springs were being switched out.

 

those lock pin style jack stands are the Beefiest ones ive used.. screw type are rare but good too.. we have the 5 ft ones at work for the lifts... thats the real monster! lol

these would be good to have around

 

Do they let you use the shop for work on your own? I imagine they are more strict with the liability thing.

I still have no idea how i am going to take that trans out. going to be a PITA. I bet I take longer than tyler has taken with his bumper.

 

man i had the trans out of my tacoma in 4 hours on the garage floor without lifting it off the ground!
i left the transfer case on too


i can use it for my cars. i just Write an RO up and put it under a tire light line.. just cant do anything too massive because i cant hold my rack up.. i did the engine in that avalon i sold at work on my day off

 

oooohhhh not bad.

 

Make sure you buy some nice long 1/2" extensions and a swivel adapter to reach the top bolts.
