Jack Point - Help, please!

[Jims94vmx]

Got my lowly 1 on Amazon. Think it was 35 bucks.

OK...I'll admit it...I bought four. Where'd you think I got the idea to get one of these in the first place? As others have stated, the stuff we learn about here is tough on the wallet!

~SIGH~ Here we go again, off to Amazon I go With all these axles and tires a couple of these could be pretty handy I think. The factory one is a 4 ton but you have to wrestle it out from under the back seat. I think we need to start a support group called "RV gadget over addiction sickness" lol!

The Powerbuilt's unijack design is far superior to the Ford OEM jack IMHO.

For the record, if any DW is looking for a culprit to yell at it's @Rob's fault. I'm just a lemming.

Yep - It's always Rob's fault.

I think that jack stand is really a good idea. Now I have another thing in my wish list.

I checked on Amazon by searching "Alltrade Jack" and it came right up. Interesting thing tho... the 3 ton all in one is $35.82; they also have a 4000 lb unijack for $59.95 and a 6000 lb unijack for $74.95. huh??? Isn't a 3 ton jack rated at 6000 lbs? Go figure. I'm obviously missing something here.

I saw that to but its painted a different color. If you go the the Powerbuilt web page that show both and in the fine print they say their the same (similar), only a different color in the pictures. I was going to call or email tomorrow to verify out of curiosity.

I think the only thing you're missing is paying $75 for a $35 jack!

not gettin' my money that easy!

Those jackstands are for sure a good idea.

After giving Jiffy Lube several body parts for doing my first oil change, I resolved to start doing my own oil changes, again. So when the next oil change rolled around I drug out the steel ramps that I have always used for changing oil. Fired up the diesel, put 'er in 4 high and promptly crushed one of those steel ramps flat. Darn those diesels are heavy. Fortunately, they are also tall.
