Borrow a Floor Jack

Hey all, I know this is a weird request but my floor jack decided it didn't want to work anymore. So I was wondering if anyone had a floor jack they would let me borrow on Saturday morning for about 3 hours.

Note: needs to be able to go past 13 1/2"


Thanks ahead of time,
Chris

I think mine will do that, as long as you use jacks also, has a slow pressure leak .

Costco has an aluminum racing jack for $99 in stock. It's the same one we are using at the shop.

I know and If I had the cash right now for that I wouldn't have posted this thread. But I don't so if I want to do it this weekend this is my only shot, Otherwise i'll have to wait (which wouldn't be the end of the world).

Thank you but If I can make it down to visalia I might as well go to my parents and have my dad help me with it. I know you're flying out of fresno I would be more than willing to meet you at the Air Port at 5am to pick one up.

So? What is the end to this Saga?

Did PUTZ get the jack?

Did he do his MODS?

Did MINI Chef miss his flight?

Tune in tomorrow?
