I give up....I need my dads tranny jack. Can't get a good base to angle the pumkin right. The one board I was using finally snapped

It's one of the low profile 2 ton Craftsmans. This is actually my second one. My other one finally gave out a few weeks ago. That one saw a whole bunch of work which is why I decided to just get it again. I still have to jack up each side and put 2 2x4's on each side so I could jack it up from the diff.

This is the one

I don't recall which jack we used when we did my swap. I do know that it was me and 2 others working on this during part of the time when doing the swap, that diff is heavy.

Looking good, it makes a huge difference when the covers are shaved.

Yeah, one person and a regular jack/mount = not so easy. I got the transmission jack last night so I'll give it another go on Friday.

I have something else (small) I'm working on too, to add to this thread.

Oh man, awesome thread idea!

I'll probably contribute as much or more here, as I will in the "look what I bought" one.

Got a couple projects going on right now that I need to go snap some pics of.
