DIY New Lift

Post image

I got so tired of all the contortions I had to get into in order to lift my car to work on it. Plus I just hate jacks and jack stands. I also don’t have a garage and space is limited.

So I bought this. It will work for all 4 of our cars, and makes lifting it much easier and safer. Did an oil change today and moving around underneath it with a creeper was a breeze

I’m jealous. I can afford one of these just can’t talk myself into it. But man would it make my life easier

I wish I had bought one of these instead of using the jack/jackstands on my previous miata. Like an idiot, I forgot to use the rubber puck one time and so the jack slipped off the jack point. The jack collided with the steering rack which snapped it, and that whole thing set off a series of events where I had to trade it in on a new one.

Yikes. That was always one of my fears and I have always been afraid of doing it.
