Won't that drain the battery down? Just curious. I installed a dashcam but haven't hardwired it yet.

I don't think it draws too much juice, plus you can still manually turn it off or unplug it. We'll see how it goes when winter rolls around.

@iamdaspoon, PLEASE, please, please, get youself some proper jackstands! Cinderblocks are just a disaster waiting to happen. If you absolutely must use cinderblocks to support your car (or any other), turn the blocks so that they are in the same orientation as the lower block you have there (holes vertical), not like the top block (holes horizontal) because they were not designed to support a load that way. Also use a piece of wood on top to help distribute the load. I just don't want to see anyone get hurt.

Easy guys, the car is on jack stands, the cropping of the picture just cuts them off, the cinder blocks are just a security

Whew!


My Grandfather got trapped under his Ford Pinto years ago after the cinderblock he was using broke, fortunately my Uncle was there to help him. Just didn't want anything bad to happen to you! (or anyone working under a vehicle)
