That one (bendpak) is only good for adding room for another car (storage). They do make all kinds of very nice lifts. This is one I like for the application Glen showed:

I and my cousins wife, a Harvard educated, johns hopkins trained psychiatrist, have both met VP bite me.

Some knucklehead installed the lug nuts upside down. The rust isn't a good thing either.

Meh. The rust is minor surface rust, and this trailer isn't under heavy load. I was more bothered by the lug nuts. Guess they were tight since I put 1500 miles on that trailer this weekend. I switched them around to proper.

they must live near the coast or something the rust on that rim and the oxidisation of the nuts. Thought that was a bluddy big crack on the rim for a moment,

You can install that second bendpak in my garage any time this week. In fact, I will be home to let you in the rest of the Month!

Sid, looks like that one lug nut is leaking oil. Better check the level.

Talk about some funky nuts...



My Range Rover has the funkiest lug nuts i've seen.

At least there is no way to install them backwards.

I think I am going to install one of their 4-post units in my garage when I move in this summer (July). Pretty sure it will fit. That way I can stack the 911s and still get two more cars in. Wouldn't mind one like that second bendpak as well. If one is good...two would be great.

i would have to put the bendpak in the middle of my 2 car garage to be able to get around the car to work on it. Still don't think I could raise the car high enough to actually work on stuff from under the car. Roof space just isn't there. Can't imagine trying to work from my knees or trying to squat and work over my head.

Nope, worse than coastal. Its a South Dakota trailer. It gets drug around in the salty slush for 6 months out of the year with very few washes. Those wheels have cheap thin pain though, they don't hold up well. This whole trailer is in way better shape than most of ours in that part of the world actually.


And whats all this talk about kitting and cider? I'm so lost.....

Nothing much. Just tweezers stuffing your man-card into the shredder.
