I remember as a boy, working in a Chevron station with a single-post hoist.
When I got ready to take the car down, I would spin it around 180 degrees
and drive it straight out the door.
If we cannot afford to take care of Veterans, then we should stop making
them.

Subject: DML: Lift
My father recently built a new shop and installed a 2 post lift. I used it
for the first time today to replace my CV axles on my '95 Dak and I have to
say things are SO MUCH EASIER when you're not crawling around in the dirt
and oil flat on your back trying to replace something.

Downside is I found more redneck engineering on the driver's side front
suspension. The same idiots who stripped out one of the caliper bolt holes
and left it sitting in there loose until the caliper piston broke into
pieces and also ground down the head on one of the banjo bolts for the
caliper for no known reason) also stripped out the threaded hole for the
lower shock bolt. They replaced it with what appears to be a bolt for a
starter and a LUG NUT. Idiots!
Looks like I'm in for new shocks soon too. The fronts seem to be
semi-seized. I guess Bilsteins are in it's future.
