Hello from WA State

[DragonKnight]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick intro, my name is Rich and I was originally from California and recently moved up to the Seattle area in Washington state over 5 years ago. Found this site when I was researching jack stands. I currently have a set of Hein-Werner 3-ton jack stands. So far they've held up my 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 for almost a year while I'm restoring it. I bought them initially as they've had decent reviews on them before (not lately now I noticed) and they were made in the USA. Currently looking for an alternative as I need another set to work on my other car. Thinking maybe US Jack...though may give in to HF 3-ton as I don't plan on keeping my other car elevated for any extended time. Another alternative is the Craftsman 4-ton.

I work as an IT contractor at Premera in Mountlake Terrace, have a beautiful gf, 1 stepson, and 1 son of my own. I like working on cars, gaming, music, writing, computers, and eventually will return to the autocrossing scene.

So hoping to post more and definitely will research more here.

Best regards,
Rich

Welcome from the East coast. Get that Mustang finished up and off those jack stands and ya won't need another set or better yet, get yourself a big ole lift. Don't know why I'm bustin your chops, I' haven't got far enough on my projects to get em on jack stands.

Aww man, I've been at it for about 2 years now, lol. I'm renting the place so unfortunately no lift. Hoping to save up in a few more years to buy my own place eventually. Trust me, a lift would definitely be in the works then.

Here's a pic of the Mach 1 before I started tearing it down. It was originally blue.
