You need a new car stand ? |
Re: You need a new car stand ? nice. can it hold my beer? |
Re: You need a new car stand ? I'm not a fan of things that have screws and wingnuts to prevent movement unless they have ridges where the two pieces interface - sort of like GoPro mounts. Otherwise it will move on its own. I can't tell if this stand has those ridges, but I hope it does or it'll be pretty useless. |
Re: You need a new car stand ? I can buy a 6' 4x4 post at the local box store for about $9 and cut it in to 4" blocks and get 18 stands out of it. For $23 I'll keep my 4x4x4 wood blocks. |
Re: You need a new car stand ? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fe14683a51.jpg I bought this one off of eBay last year and it holds everything perfectly. Even my 1/8 scale savage flux xl. I paid $13 less for it. I would buy it again though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: You need a new car stand ? Ive owned two of those swivel car stands "free with purchase of 150 or more at towerhobbies" about a decade ago. All they did was collect dust, so i gave one away, and still have the other. Both were never used as i just work on a table or workbench. They're all just gimmicks. |
Re: You need a new car stand ? I don't like all that swiveling and moving around. Simple is better for me. I just get foam yoga blocks from Walmart and cut 'em in half. Two stand for $5 that are lightweight and work with a wide range of vehicles. |
Re: You need a new car stand ? 1 Attachment(s) I'm with Inspector86 on the 4x4 blocks. After buying several CI blocks I decided to make some out of 4x4's. I had quite a bit of extra cutoff's from past projects. I cut the blocks to 4" high, painted them black and glued on a foam pad on top to cushion the links and help keep the rig from sliding off.

I’ve got an 8 foot workbench now and just stick a spare tire under the rig I’m working on. Lol |
Re: You need a new car stand ? I have a few stands one homemade and the other similar to what Ghonda99 posted and I dont think I've ever used them and felt like I needed it. I almost always use a table top. If I use anything its scale jack stands but just to mock up parts not while I wrench. My homemade stand actually got converted into a tool stand lol. https://i.imgur.com/blI2hIU.jpg?1 |
Re: You need a new car stand ? ^ That's a nice looking stand! "thumbsup" |
Re: You need a new car stand ? I use corn hole bean bags |

Re: You need a new car stand ? I just made my own from scrap wood & painted it red with some leftover paint. Works like a champ & holds my TRX4 Defender nice & solid. I put about a 12" rise on it. I will try to post some pics but I am not very good with technology, so no promises. Yeah, says I am not allowed to post pics yet, sorry. |
Re: You need a new car stand ? I’ve been looking at these fancy stands online, but I’m glad I stopped by this thread - I never thought of half these options. I think I’ma give the 4x4x4 a go with some foam on top. I came to get down! |
Re: You need a new car stand ? I've been buying empty black cornhole bags off fleabay and filling them with rice. Conform nicely so my rigs never feel like they are going to fall and they are cheap. |
