I can do it myself quicker than the local tire shop even though they're free..

I do need a second floor jack I bought this one for the ATV and I'm surprised it didn't blow up trying to lift the freaking Ford....lol

Don't forget Marty, "Lefty Tighty"!
It’s that way on my Cabover

The idiots at the chevy dealer didn’t know that when I took it there to get new brakes. That dumbass told me he stood on the wrench trying to loosen it.

That’s good to know I have one. Thankfully tires and brakes are still good

I have one of those that's still going and held up to our abuse
Had the bigger one too (2-2.5 tn?) low profile
it crapped out early and was a POS

bought a Michelin labeled Chinese one for not much more, so far so good

gave away my heavy duty 3 ton steel floor jack .
it'll out live me, but was/is a heavy sumbich (like 90 pounds I think)

I'll never buy anything but aluminum now

Rack and pinion went out in our little dodge dakota last week out of the passenger side seal. After taking it off I got to looking around and I saw the wire on the starter was corroded as hell so ordered one of those too. Both went without a hiccup and only took me 1.5 hours. Whoever decided to use a bolt 10x too long to mount that starter should be throat punched.

I should have stopped there since I hadn't pulled a Marty yet, but I decided to do an oil change. I told myself to use a closed sloping pan but I just grabbed an open one instead. My phone slipped out of my pocket right into the full oil pan but I didn't realize it until I went to put the old oil in a container. :hopeless:

Future father-in-law is a mechanic/race car fanatic so I get free roam of his garage and tools and he has one of those fancy 5 ton air/hydralic jack combos because they have a 1200 gal water truck.

Yep got a good floor jack and four way wrench. Slide it under, four pumps and shes up.
Although I've thought about the impact wrench and a scissor jack for out on the road.
