Hahaha, no really, I got some pimp new jackstands. They're 6 ton Goodyear Racing stands w/ locking pins. Much better then my old 3 ton ones. Here's some pics:

It should be much easier to sqeeze my fat ass under the car now. ;)
Now I just need a floor jack that can lift the car high enough. :roll:

Hehehehe....Ya, I guess so.


Ya know the best part? They were only $21.67 for the pair at Sams Club! :shock:

Wow, that's a deal! They look really solid too.

Have you seen Carnot's jackstand block design? I wanna make a pair:

Hey, you snuck that in on me! It made it look like I was agreeing that I was compensating. :lol: I was referring to Scotts comment about the pics. :roll:

Really.... I don't need to compensate... really...no I mean it...really.

Nice! Those are really cool. I should make something like that. That's one thing that has always bothered me about my floor jack and my stands, is I couldn't use them on the rocker panels. :)

Yeah, same here. It'd be really nice to be able to support the whole car (front and rear) on four identical jackstands with the car level.

No doubt, that would be nice.

Insecurity? ;)

LOL j/k :lol:

I have two jackstands like your old ones, and two others completely different... I think one set is from Autozone and the other from Discount :)
