Called them yesterday and they said they would have pricing done next week. Talked with Chris and he told me $329 for a pair and he's checking on a pair for me. He mentioned a free shipping deal was going to be offered for the first 30 days its available.

BTW, i have a friend with a 944s that has them, i took this picture with my phone because i was so impressed by the stability and workspace when you use two. I know they seem expensive but you just can't compare them to the $50 set from Sears. there in a class all there own!

one mans opinion!

....to support your '77 Plymouth station wagon - yes, but by cinder block and 2x4 standards :icon23: you're not supposed to even be driving a Z :driving:

Please tell me your Z at least deserves a hockey puck!

lets all just do it like the yards and just pick it up with a forklift. Takes like 5 seconds and you never need car dollies, also make parking multiple vehicles in on driveway easy.

carguy that picture just gives me the creeps... it still looks so unstable with that huge opening on one side for the jack...just waiting to collapse.

but i suppose one wouldn't be convinced until seeing one in person.

lol at using cinder blocks and forklift. :D

it's a stand rated to ANSI standards at 4000 lbs. that means a single stand has to support 6000 lbs. wouldn't want to try that with a cinder block.

Sorry kenchan for leaving you out in the cold and not replying. I understand where you're coming from. I've got to tell you that when I went up to the car to touch it I was a little tentative, but I could put my shoulder into it and the car was firmly planted. It was not moving an inch. they're really a very high-tech product. My buddy who bought them is a real geek for new toys. But he researches the pants off of things before he buys. this product has a special aluminum magnesium blend, with variable thicknesses in the walls, Developed in a lab somewhere. That's why it works I guess! cheers

So there's a new video posted on the Jackpoint jackstands.
Jackpoint Jackstands demo on Corvette C5.wmv - YouTube

This time the car is a Corvette. I've seen lots of different cars on these things but no Z's. I guess it's time to get out my camera. Anybody know how to post Poloroids on the web? :pics:

Well yes, imbedding the video is much nicer, but uh I just couldn't figure that one out. Poloroid generation - remember? The only thing I know how to sync is a pair of SU carbs.
