Free? Six pack if you feel generous.

I raise to 12 packs!

What kind of jack, just curious? I've been looking for a low profile racing jack.

eikond · 06-30-2014, 01:05 PM

that is a very good deal on the the low profile jack.

The problem I have is that with my car lowered and the front lip to lower the front bumper even more, plus the rear valance I have on my rear bumper, I need the combination of low profile and long reach to be able to get to the jack point on the front and the rear diff in the back. I have the one from Harbor Freight that was like $90.. great jack!

Do we want to try once more for a meet? I'm sure everyone is busy on Friday and probably Sat. with this holiday weekend.. but what about Sunday the 6th?

We could find a park and grill?
We could drive one of those routes east of A2?
we could just find a good place to have lunch and hang out?

Anyone interested?

It's a Husky 2.5. I haven't used it yet, but judging by reviews its not great. That home depot deal was $25 for a set of 3 ton jackstands (well reviewed) and the jack though so at that price I figured it was worth the risk considering that's the normal price for jackstands alone. That's why I don't mind giving it to someone that can use it. As generous as the 12 pack offer is, I'm afraid this was a first come, first served situation.

Yeah no, I was just messing. Im still looking at different low profile racing jacks. I just wanted to know if the one you got is worth looking into.

Harbor Freight one is the cheapest i can find especially when they have a 4th of july sale for a 3 ton jack with rapid pump from 189 to 79$. But this one doesn't have a rubber pad on the plate.

3 twins that work at different companies on that tiny little road is crazy

Now there's another gray one. It'd be fun to meet after work.

I was behind the red one today, some type of exhaust work. We both pulled out and swung the tails out in uniform fashion. Then when I got along side of him, I don't think he even knew I was there

Kayysonie · 06-30-2014, 06:15 PM

Aw shit. That's smart. Thanks. I guess I'm getting that jack. Haha.

Kayysonie · 06-30-2014, 06:17 PM

Spotted a black BRZ in 5mile between Beck and Sheldon. A Cutie was driving. Also spotted a white Frs in Sheldon and 5mile who was very happy while waving at me.

Ha! Ive seen that red one before with the exhaust. I know where he works cause ive seen him pull out their parking lot.

Were you just driving around the area or work/live close by?

I see a lot of Focus ST in the same area too...like 3-5 in a day. Im glad I didnt get it.

I'd be interested in meeting up. I can't seem to track down any FRZs in my area. It's disheartening
