Chrysler/GM Tire Jack

DON'T TOUCH THOSE. I tried helping some guy change a tire on a Chrysler Sebring with the stock tire jack that came with the car, and the damn thing wasn't strong enough to hold the damn car up... bent like a friggin twig. Had to get the jack and tools from my truck, and off I went. Figures, his tire went flat in the parking lot of a local service station (the only one in the area not open on Saturday!)

Don't know if you can say that's much of a product review, just more of a gripe of sorts. Damn guy still gave me 25 bucks for helping him and I didn't even get the damn tire off. Tourists.... if it's called tourist season, why can't we shoot em?

I like our bottle jacks. Gotta love hydrolic pressure instead of cranking a screw!

Mine has the bottle... it makes it a hell of a lot easier to get the damn thing off the ground... I like my friends jack stands though... makes my little jack look like nothing...

Mine will have a lift someday... not yet, but someday... of course, that all depends if I can figure out the lift laws for Massachusetts... I hated math in school, and now the state has some algebra thing to figure out lift.... shoot... it's never easy. Welcome to Massachusetts.... I dream big when it comes to my truck, but I live in a state where I can't act on them....
