Dang, sorry to hear that, Craig, I know you've gone through a lot already with that pesky joint. Is it minor prangage (I hope) or back to Square One?

My winter wheels went on both cars today, it was nice so I took advantage of the weather.

Well.... this weekend is it for me.
The play toy gets wrapped up and put away.
& The snows go on the winter warriors.
The hoist will get a good workout.

I was mentioning your hoist to Karen after I jacked up my vehicles with the factory jack to change all my tires.
Every time I was turning that stupid jack crank in my outdoor workshop, I was muttering to myself, "Dam, I wish I had a hoist like Ian"

Or at least a decent floor jack. It's a good investment in safety and convenience.

It's too much hassle to drag a good heavy floor jack back and forth across the lawn and into my basement when I need it, remember I don't have a garage either to store these items.
I'm getting plans drawn up for a garage with a full basement underneath. Hopefully start the build next year. Then I can get a good floor jack.

Yours is perfect swivel- after using yours I went and got another one for out here. No more having to drive up on 2x6s.

Not going to lie. Summers staying on all freakin year!!!

What floor Jack do you have Wayne, Is it one of the lightweight ones?

I went to the dealer yesterday and got mine mounted as well. Paid $30 but it included a free wash so I was happy.
I picked them up from Kijiji a couple of weeks ago. They are Pirelli Winter 210 Sottozero, anyone have any feedback on these?
