<3 Axle stands.

No way I'd get under a car without them. Especially after XS1V's accident a couple of years back.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Your life is worth at least that $70, no excuse not to have them.

If in doubt, use a hoist :lol:


The warehouse even sells some for like $20. Sure they aren't the best in the world, but its better than nothing. For that money there's no excuse. I got a pair of 6 ton ones.....and a pair of 2/3 ton ones. 6 Ton ones seemed like a good idea at the time.... didn't think through how high i'd have to jack a car to use them though :x

I once read about a guy who used an old battery as an axle stand, needless to say, when it collapsed it wasnt a pretty sight.
