Even Jade is like, dude, that shit ain't gonna fit under your car.

Chad, no sir...I actually wanna go back to the yard and look in my car and see that it's missing...
Is it removable? I have had to replace the damn cupholder sliding door twice before. Although I guess I could keep top portion.

That's amazing all this time, all the mods, the cars, and you still learn something new. Lol.

Those pieces were accessories that come with 3M tape.

One set goes around the cup holder and the heater buttons. Another wraps around the back of the center console.

Not many people have the rear one.

Nice. Kinda pricey for that single piece right? Like $90 or something.

heck yes, she loves that thing! Although her little fat azz is getting too heavy, it's making a crazy couch sping squeak when she's on it...

Not sure what the shipping is going to be on this this. It ships via UPS, which is always higher than USPS.

I wish there was an easy fix for the side pieces that are kinda scarred up.

Also, love the jack, other than the fact that it's "low" entry is over an inch higher up than my low profiles and I have to drive up on 2x4's to use it.
Oh?

must be a newer revision or something.. but then again, i'm not that low either..

If it's not 100% to your liking, keep your box, we can go return it when I come down.

Oh, there's a joke in there somewhere, I know it. I'm just too lazy right now to figure it out.

I'm going to the bank at 1. He is calling me at 1:30. Book flight at 2?

I also found another one...listed for $27k with 33k miles! Same color combo but it doesn't have the full leather seats. Has the same options though. One of the wheels looks curbed though. But it has brand new tires.

Difference being factory warranty is only good through next year.

J, just looked and it seems like the newer version is called HJ3000. The one I have is the XL35R. XL35R - 3.5 Ton Extra Low Service Jack older version. 3.5 inch minimum as opposed to 4 inches on yours. Mine was also all-steel versus the newer one which is lighter at 60 pounds.



But like i said, if it making you happy, eff it man.. return that ish. I don't want you to have that doubt in your mind if/when it annoys you working on the car

LOL...I thought you said rear was $80 and front 2 were about a buck twenty...


So that link you originally posted does the 2 little pieces...around the cup holder and the other one around the heaters...

then the rear is another 80. Shoot, I might jump on that...120 for all of it isn't bad.

Nah you should totally do it before they are all gone. Best TL deserves all the accessories.

Also if a jack is too tall and it's annoying you're gonna be pissed off using it all the time.

I bought this at first: Craftsman.com


but the jack is junk, i rarely use it. minimum height is 5.5 inches

so then I got the Xl35R from Costco years ago and it worked for me on my lowered Accord and it fit my needs

It's a fantastic unit...
it still fits under the rear side lift point...just not the front.

i still have my pittsburg that is low enough and big and strong...this costco one was to replace my smaller 1.5 aluminum racing jack that is also about 3" min height. So I had 2 jacks that fit under both cars without the boost...now I would have one. If I can get the aluminum one working, i'd be happy. The costco one feels VERY solid and rolls around smoothly and lifts fast and strong.

I can't order the front units because of my stupid work browser. I have to wait until I get home.
