Stock bottle jack on a rock

 

I still carry around a hi lift, but a pro eagle jack looks like a solid option.

Or I saw there's a company selling a kit to turn a HF jack into something similar.

 

I've seen a few different Harbor Freight off-road racing jack mods. Not sure if it's less or more sketchy than a hi-lift though...

 

What did he do to you that you'd tell him to get Harbor Freight jacks?

 

Off-road Floor Jack - Combo Kit

 

That's it.

Problem is I don't think you hardly save any money over just getting the pro eagle and being done with it.


And that price is why I still carry a hi lift, plus is has more uses. Just don't be stupid.

 

Watch pretty much any automotive YouTuber and see what kind of jack they use

I have an old HF 1.5ton, just not modded. I like the sled mod. The big-wheel mod does not look good to me--I posted that more as a joke.

I'd describe the 1.5ton as "fine". Pumps slower than I'd like, drops faster than I'd like, but perfectly usable. I think the newer models are better. Either way, it's lightweight and cheap, and I'm going to use jack stands no matter what jack I'm using.

Here's a DIY how-to for the Pro Eagle extension: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ah-debauchery-log.574048/page-5#post-19725010

Or you can buy a nice hydraulic bottle jack (much nicer to use than the OE mechanical bottle jack) for like $40 or $60.

 

Pro Eagle, that's what I was thinking of but couldn't find it.

The sliding/sled/skid mod is interesting...

A nice bottle jack with some slight surface contact mods seems like a good idea I have never considered.

Oh snap!

 

Good deal on skinny 35s. Figured I’d pass it on. Mine were well under 800 shipped to my door.

The same can be said for spouses.

 

IDK. Some spouses buy their husbands Tacomas and all the upgrades.

 

...and some spouses go from making money where they could have done such things to being leeches and spending the money made by their partner.

Honestly, it sounds like you’ve been in a shitty situation and I’m real sorry to hear it. I was really picky about getting married. I’d certainly rather be single than be with someone like that. I hope things get better for ya brother

 

Ha! Guess I still have some bitterness flowing through me. I should get that in check. I'm in the midst of figuring out how to financially recover from a divorce. I have another nine years of alimony payments... so it looks like I won't be retiring when I wanted to.

Thank you.

 

No worries. I’d be bitter as hell if I where in your shoes as well.
