Leroy,

You & me both, and I am following this thread with solid interest.
There will be a lot of work ahead of me when I get home. Going to dig
into the archives here to see all of the other things I need to do.

Other than fire, my greatest fear with a vehicle is having one fall on
me when I'm under it. One day it actually happened. Well, I wasn't
under it, but I had a vehicle fall off it's jackstands and careen
toward me while I was laying on a creeper behind it. Car was up on 4
jackstands and one up front failed, just collapsed. ~2800lb car up on
4 stands rated 4500lbs each. That'll teach me to buy jack-stands at
wal-mart. Now I have a set of truck stands rated for >12klbs each and
only use them... (and I didn't buy them at a discount store)
