It weighs north of 90 lbs!!! A little bit of overkill, but I love it. It made today's wheel swap very easy.



I will try out the T1R's on my rears once my Pilot Sport A/S's wear out. I've heard a lot of good things about the Toyo's.

Look at that torque wrench!!!
What was the cost on that jack, if you don't mind?

I bought it through harborfreight.com

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=91788

Here is a link to the product. It appears that it's still on sale for $79.99 USD. The funny thing is that shipping cost more than the price of the trolley jack (approx $90 USD), due to its weight. Probably a little on the pricey side, and I'm sure I could have found a cheaper jack, but what's done is done.

Also, I think I overestimated the handle length. The specs are in the above link.

I think earlier on in the thread GEE35X (Wayne) suggested using wooden boards to help with clearance, so there is always more than one solution to a problem. Wayne's solution is probably the most cost effective.

Hope that helps.

Hmm that looks like a great jack and a nice long handled torque wrench.

Unfortunately, I bought my jack long before I had the G and any need for a low profile one.

I'm going to have to weight that one of mine. It's painfully heavy too and I'd love to have a strong, lighter aluminum one.

+1... That is one long handled torque wrench!

What's the calibration span on that baby Joey??
- nice to hear you got your rubber sorted out.

Ian,

Off the top of my head I'm not sure about the exact calibration span, but the torque range is pretty wide.

I thought the 93 lb trolley jack would attract more attention but apparently my torque wrench (courtesy of Canadian tire) is getting all the oohs and ahhs.

Now that the rubber is sorted out, I snapped a few quick pics earlier this afternoon: https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...=124292&page=3

Cheers,
Joel
