    How to cut fiberglass batts lengthwise?

    4 Post car lift ???????

    I just bought the Advantage 9000 and I second every positive comment reported all over these forums. I got 2 of the manual rolling jacks and I agree that 1 is enough, in fact I'll sell you the basically unused one for $550.:)

    Anxiety Kicking In - Picking Up 4 Post Tomorrow

    I built my Advantage against the back wall, then had to put a wedge in each lock so that I could lower it down on the casters and move it off the wall to insert the latch rod. The point is to start assembling away from the wall, then move into position later. By the way, I moved mine to where...

    So what do you wear when working on cars

    Back in the day I jumped in the car and drove to the downtown library. I needed to look at their selection of manuals on whatever car I was in the process of fixing. Leaving the library, after finding the info I had been looking for, a gentleman at the sidewalk asked if I'd like a sandwich...

    "The tray? Are they designed to do that? Does it sit flush with the runway when it is upside down?" No, it's low by an inch or maybe two but easy enough to fit a board to it. I'll get an exact measure later.

    4 post lifts

    I bought 2 of the manual jacks. Originally I was going to get just one but, I expect it to be better for brake jobs to have two. I'm currently replacing the rear axle on my Ranger, the second jack became a tool shelf.

    I too just set up my Advantage 9000XLT, and I am very happy with it. I can't make comparisons to other brands as this is the only one I've touched, but I can say that the construction overall is very nice. Also, the aluminum ramps and castors that come standard are great. I don't need a...

    Harbor Freight 44" roller cabinets discontinuing?

    I just got the series 1 top cabinet for 232.99. Series 1 bottoms were 399.00. The top was marked Open Box Item and a manager said that was because it was the last one. I didn't get the bottom because he led me to believe that they may yet go down in price.
