Or how about a couple 2x12s screwed together? Should get you high enough to get your jack under the front end.

I'm having a harder time getting into Luke Cage compared to Jessica Jones and Daredevil.

No power tools to my name still. Nor would I know how or what to ask for walking in to a Lowes. For $50, I doubt this is much more expensive than the wood, glue, and screws needed.

I just can't justify spending $200+ on raceramps or even $150 on a HF low pro jack for 2 oil changes a season. I'm not under the car enough to warrant the expenditure.

Gotta love this city. Property taxes going up again. 100k home will now be $9,800 for property tax. Cute....

Well the total bill would be about $12 using 1 2x12 and a small box of screws lol.

You could make these using hand tools in a few minutes.

I thought you already bought raceramps a while back

Leingod · 10-03-2016, 08:43 PM

I just found this thread and figured the convenience factor would be worth it.
What if you got a flat tire on a lowered car with bodykit?

Maybe I'll give the 2x12 a shot this weekend. You just severely underestimate my knowledge of angles and how tools work. hahahahahaha

I almost pulled the trigger on them, but had a lovely emergency come up when the Civic got its fender nailed by some geniuses trailer hitch. Cost less than my deductible so I just paid out of pocket.

Now I am just being frugal and cheap since the car goes in to storage come the end of the month.

Last weekend I was out in my STI an apple fell from the overhanging tree. Hit the headlamp but no cracks. Last time I got hit by an apple it made a dent on the hood. Dent was about the size of a kid's fist. Luckily i had PDR training by then. Fixed it completely.
