So much for sub-$100 for a jack that would work - lol...

I'll use ramps. If I need to pull a wheel (brakes, etc) I can go up on the ramp, then use my jack to lift it off the ramp(s), yank the ramp(s), and put jackstands under it.

I just gotta buy some...


Anyone got the ramps from Griot's Garage?

I did, but haven't tried using the ramps with the 370Z yet (2K mileage). If your garage floor is painted, the ramps will slide unless you add a rubber mat under them.

Typically, in my 350Z I just reached back from the front of the car to r&r the oil filter, oil drain plug. I have floor jacks (3-ton) & floor creeper as well and have used them numeous times over the years; however, the height is limited to lying on you back.

I can't wait for my 4 car garage addition and my 2-post car lift to be finished!
