C&C in Dallas!

 

nice find.

 

I saw it on G35Driver

 

wtf jeff? you went back to v2?? why?? ill trade you wheels now =]

 

I finally bought a floor jack today, got so tired of using the scissor jack. I was just gonna get some cheap one, but when I went to pick up the box I couldn't even move it off the shelf and directed my gaze towards an aluminum one. It's not light by any means, but I can at least carry it around without too much trouble. With as tight as it can be in my garage, I needed something I could maneuver easily and not worry about dinging any cars.

 

Hmmm,....I was going to get one also. I was just looking at them last night on line. Harbor Freight, Northern Tool, Lowes, Sears....etc.

I haven't found one I really like yet because I want it to be low profile for the Z, and be able to go high enough for the Truck. So I'm looking for one I like with enough weight, height, and extension for both vehicles.

Anyone have any good suggestions ?

 

I got this one because I wanted something light.

If it fails like some of the reviews have said, I will probably return it and buy the $40 one. If I have to replace something I'd rather pay alot less money for it. As for now, I will just see how it goes. I wonder if the failures are due to bad maintenance.

 

Thats actually kinda hard to find, if at all..only place ive seen something with the low profile curvature that can do the 25 inches needed for a truck is at northern tools and your talking a big aluminum one thats in the 200 range...

much better to purchase a light weight 18 inch height aluminum low pro for the car and then a sears cheaper steel one for the truck......your more than likely not gonna do the truck jacking as much..

Yeah, that's what I was figuring since I had no luck searching for one that i liked & could afford.
I guess I just need to get the one that Acidjake got....at Northern tool.

 

I just bought a 2004.5 Redline base today so I thought I would drop in and see what's going on. I'm from Allen btw.

Welcome to the forum texas_z, there are alot of peeps up in your area that are on here. Just watch out for Kristi.

Anyone use the new Mother's 123 step clay bar & wax system ? I saw it in one of the newer Auto mags at the Doc's office.

 

Welcome texas_z. Congrats on the new Z. I'm next door in Frisco. Definitely try to go to one of the meets. I haven't been to one yet, but I hear they are fun. I'm going to try to make one soon.

I use the Griot's garage clay.
Also, you said you wanted a jack and stands, well they have some specials at Sears with two stands and a jack for a decent price if that interests you.
