I’ll confess to the stupidity of this. I don’t even recall why, but I had to pull one wheel off a TJ once and it rolled onto my thigh. My leg was pinned under it (I was kneeling). It wasn’t really painful per se (although heavy), but I was definitely stuck. No cell phone on me. After a while, started yelling for my wife, and my neighbor across the street (who also wheeled a TJ) helped get me out. More embarrasing than anything.Quote:

Working on cars is dangerous like many other activities.
Jack stands, jack still in place.
I replaced a 3/4ton ford 4 speed manual tranny myself with out a transmission jack, it was all good until got the tranny input shaft out of the pilot bearing, then I ended up with the whole thing on my chest.
Anyone have experience with in-home lifts? Been tempted... https://www.amazon.com/TRIUMPH-NT-9-.../dp/B00QHEUULM
I've got a buddy that has had a few. Recently helped him stand up his latest one which is a two post like the one you posted.
Don?t use the ?drop in anchors? on these, cut the concrete and pour in a proper foundation with full length anchor bolts. The you tube videos of failed lifts like these look as though they were not anchored properly.Quote:
