Re: Harbor Freight Tools: got the 3 ton floor jack
LOL!
Man oh man, just how fat and soft are the tires? Do you have those arctic tires on that are 3' wide and 2' deep when soft or something? I only need to jack my Cherokee up about 2" to take off an inflated tire and about 6" maybe to change a flat....

Re: Harbor Freight Tools: got the 3 ton floor jack
Where are you jacking at Mike? I use the stock jack point (or close to it)
and need all the lift my 3 ton jack gives (depending on "summer'' or winter tires) of 19''. Snow...

Re: Harbor Freight Tools: got the 3 ton floor jack
I use the axle tubes or the shock/spring mount and just jack up the axle
end when working on tires or brakes. Jacking up the side of the vehicle so you have an unstable wobbly jack fully extended is not my idea of fun. If I do need to get the whole vehicle up, then I use a plate under the jack so it doesn't dig into my 'paved' driveway and I get jack stands under fast.

Re: Harbor Freight Tools: got the 3 ton floor jack
I guess I have been stuck working in dirt and off camber too many times
so started jacking low way back when. I also used that method when working in garages because it is so much faster. Even if the floor jack fails and drops down, the axle will stop when the jack is down, on the jack still. This stops the vehicle from hitting the ground.

Re: Harbor Freight Tools: got the 3 ton floor jack
You wouldn't beleive the crap I have to go thru to jack up my Cherokee. First I
have to grab up all my brother's spare weight set plates, then some boards to bring up my crap floor jack and jack stands to a high enough level to actually do some good. > How did you live so long with out it? -Bill (remove "botizer" to reply via email) |
