You're talking about about me right? How'd you know I was going to use my watch fund for those I kid, I kid. Those will look sweet with your Z. Congrats when it's offical.

 

Yeah I know I was just kidding around....I would like to see which watch he has to let go of....haha

 

yah that was me. I was bored at home =P

 

Youre mean ... I like having them... I have really bad breaking habits ...

 

WTH... Yesterday it was me, today its James... Dont you have anything better to do than to stalk the GTG locals ...

 

Saw you in the morning.. Then James in the afternoon...
I was gonna follow him home and watch where he parks his Z ....

James, you must have been leaving already.. You were headed towards the Gap store /BR side but you weren't there when we went to that side...

Have a good weekend guys... Stay dry..

 

So, Im working on my car (height adjustment) - taking advantage of the not so rainy day... As Im lifting the car, my floor jack decides to die on me ...

I do a quick search online... I find one that some members are using and happy with... Luck me "Harbor Freight" is a few miles from me ... So, I head over there and get one...

Wow, cheaper than the advertised online price ... Price, $75.00 + 2 years replacement warranty + tax = $110.00 (actually a few pennies shy)...

Ive never had to discard a floor jack before. Question is, do I just put the old jack in the garbage? Or, should I just "find a dumpster" to put it in?

Here are pics:

 

It's metal or more so, aluminum. Just put it in your recycle bin for pick-up. Let them do what they want with it

I have one of those too but it's anodized red.

 

Its metal... Ill do that then... I like this one... Its blue !!!

 

Haha...I was going to say something earlier about the color knowing you probably like it better cuz I know you like-a-the-blue
Mine's a Torin big red 1.5 ton Aluminum. Looks just like your 'I like-a-the-blue' one

Who was it that wanted to swap around wheels last wed for maybe next GTG?

I can bring mine to help out if that's the plan for next meet.

 

That was me, just wanted to see how the 285's would look on my car...lol

 

hey ritz is the jack easy on the Z or does it leave those indents like you're old one did?.

 

You should have asked me when I had my challenges . I'm still down to swap wheels - depending on the weather of course.

 

After a quick dry run - NO its not easy on the Z using standard jackpoints. I do however have the "Eastwood Adapter" on order to make lifting a whole lot easier. I should be getting it soon. I hope before Wednesday.

 

Oh yeah, eventhough its not a "rapid lift" jack - it lifts the car up in about 4-5 full pumps.

Next, I need some new jack stands to match the new jack .

 

Well, let me know if you and Ritz still want to do that...weather permitting.

Hey can we swap your TT to mine for a night? j/k
What's the Eastwood Adapter?
Mine has the rubber pad like yours, but has those metal tabs on the sides that would still touch my paint underneath my skirts.
I have to use a piece of carpet to protect my paint when lifting.

 

This is the "Eastwood Adapter"



More information can be found here... A little on the expensive side but a neat little device...

 

^ +10 Thanks for the info. Had a feeling it was something like that.

 

Tuesday morning bump... I'll still be there rain or shine...

 

I most likely will be there..
