Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
The last one I was near came within 1/4" of removing half of my face and
I was paranoid of them already. Since first seeing one drop back in the
60's I think....

Re: Hi-Lift Jack Thread
Hi Mike,
That was a well earned respect, we learned. And as I said earlier,
I was scared sh*tless to go any higher with my T-Bird's jack and that's
with a floor jack stabilizing the side out of view:
http://www.----------.com/realTBird.jpg It doesn't look like it because
of the camera angle, but the tire is over a foot off the ground, the
only clean spot we can see.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
