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.

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?
