its cool and all, but dont take this the wrong way, but where is the part that actually lifts its the rig? I think you need to add something onto it like what I circled below. Other that I think its cool thats its functional.

Definitely gives me some ideas...I don't know if I could keep my interest in it for 4 hours though.

Why does your HF "farm jack" have all of it's paint on it and is still reasonably straight? I bent mine with a Samurai..

I had to buy mine since I got high-centered in my BACKYARD.



So what's the little jack made out of? Looks like 1/4 flat stock?

Being temporarily stationary is always half the fun!

Only the jeep guys are jerks about that kind of stuff...Owning a Zuk is like joining a family.

It seems labor intensive.

Once I get my truck actually finished, I think I'll look at some HO scale train track...seems like a single I-beam would make for a great jack.
