^ That's exactly the floor jack I have, and I like how it comes with a carrying case so I can store it in the trunk or somewhere else. That's definitely heck of a deal you got with the 2 jack stands

I got these as well...but for $27 (including 2 jack stands) when it was on sale. Now...that is a bargain!

Then I also bought another pair of those jack stands for $20 bucks.

gerr so now I guess it wont come with the 2 jack stands eh? and I just missed fathers day sale, hmm any other sales coming up? I am going to need something in about 2k more miles.

Edit: bit more searching it was a special sale on the one that came with 2 jack stands they are 80 bucks now. how did they lower it to nearly less then half

I guess its time to read the Sunday paper lol.

Rhino ramps are fine. I've put my mom's 96 suburban on them lots of times with no problem. Used to use them to change the oil on my 94 and 00 Trans-Ams too (talk about a close fit)
It is important to use them on a down slope though, I've noticed the shape of the VQ35's oil pan will retain a decent amount of oil of it's not level. (Didn't have that problem with the TAs oddly)
On a side point, I did once change the oil in the Trans-Am with no ramps, and I'm sure I could with the G too. But then again, I'm quite limber.
