    Great reminder here and very timely for me as my Factory Five kit is shipping right now. As with a lot of things, it is easy to get complacent. It is unfortunate that the reminders come after a tragedy.

    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.

    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.

    That's a good tip. Buddy had his garage custom built with thicker areas in the pad from the get go with the intention of putting in a lift later on.
