Floor Jack and Stands

[Bobiam]

I agree about the jack....just got one. Super item. Don't know how I lived without one. Re jack stands, it depends on height needed. For wheel and brake work I made a pair from some pieces of 6x6 timber that was going to get scrapped and some piecesof 4x4. Less tippy than a jack stand, resilent surface and FREE.

Do you have photos of your stands? Its time for me to invest in a jack and stands for changing wheels and brake work.

For FTD, as requested.........

That is all the jack that you need. From Northern Tool. But you can get the twin piston one (same size) with twice the capacity (if you own a big truck too!) for a bit more.

The jack stands are scrap timber screwed together with decking screws. Yeah...the crudest thing ever posted, but very stable, perfect height for tire removal, and cost me nothing. Rustproof too....LOL.
