    Should have clarified... it was a 3 ton floor jack. I got it from a family member a few years ago and there was never really much of a label as to the brand name, but it was nice. I was looking at the Harbor Freight shit this morning, but was curious if it was anything worth a crap as I have never purchased anything more than gloves and oil catchers from them. I'll keep a look out for those LC jacks as well.... may fit the bill perfect for me.

    That sucks. I’ve heard good things about the harbor freight floor jacks

    I have a craftsman and it needs to be bled all the time or the truck drops like a rock...

    I've had a Husky 3 ton from Home Depot for the last 8 years and never had an issue. Otherwise the HF jacks get great reviews and there is a 25% coupon floating around right now.

    I have one of the Costco $100 3 ton jacks and it works great.

    I use the Daytona from harbor and love it. It’s a low pro with I think 23” of lift. Works great! great control for lowering and no bleed off issues

    Yeah, I think I'm going to try a HB jack. They seem to be good quality for the price. Lot's of good options out there though... holy smokes!

    I had one for almost seven years never once did I have an issue. Had the steel and aluminum both and went and got an other one after the fire. Love it for the price!

    Anyone have a big yard that can accommodate a Queensland heeler? He's about 11 been fixed and loves his ball. We can keep him here anymore and need to get him to a good home by Monday morning.
    Message me for any info.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Wife has a job! Hallelujah! She'll start some time next month... Couldn't have come soon enough! Because it'll be a not-for-profit clinic and the pay is slightly lower than a normal clinic or hospital... They make up in PTO. I guess they start off with 3-4 weeks a year.

    Been thinking about adding one of the aluminum ones to the recovery kit. I've had the regular 3-ton floor jack for probably 5 years and it's been fine.

    Yes.
    Can all of these companies stop insulting my wallet by offering me “10%” off for Tacoma stuff. If I’m in such a bad place that when I need armor/lighting etc and I won’t buy it because of a whopping 10 percent I need to rethink my purchase.

    Once the house is done or I get an other welder or two I'm building mine. I like the challenge and the beef up I tend to over do. It's hereditary.

    It adds up.

    But I get it. A lot of other company’s offer a lot more off.

    I’ve found Marlin Crawler rarely offers more than 10% off but they’re a great company to buy from and support IMO. Pay to play I guess.

    The Harbor Freight jacks are OK. You can find them on sale or at least wait for a 20% ticket to reduce the sting (which isn't bad to begin with).

    Yeah that’s enough good feedback for me to get one. Thanks for the input all.

    So I figured out these three foods don't have good taste when eaten together.
    Egg rolls, lemon meringue, and egg nog. While thinking they're all good and that being right, they're not good together at all!
