Costco is the shit.. I have them and Sams Club.

I just get pissed because Costco will carry something, and then stop carrying it. Also I'm pissed because Costco don't carry Pampers, just Huggies.

Dude... there's also that crappy 3G TL forum, they're full of douchebags... I just came in to ask if I should buy a car and they totally chewed me out.. I then opened another thread about what gasoline to use, another one about what mods to do.. they're so unhelpful

Yup we found that out when my son was a newborn. Switched over to pampers and haven't went back. I have a garage full of Pampers for the next baby.

If you were a manager, you could afford the $40/year membership

Okay, okay, I'll stop. I was just kidding!

But seriously, costco is the shit. I actually got two jacks from there for Xmas from the wifey. They're "blackjack" brand, I believe. Super low and wide. 3T capacity.

Dis is da troof. They seem to always get awesome products and then drop them 2 months later. It's shitty because they lose good stuff. It's awesome because they get different good stuff.

I think it's some sort of licensing agreements they have with manufacturers.

They had my favorite body wash for the longest time and then stopped..

I went to Sam's a few weeks later and saw it there.. DAMNIT WALMART!

I dunno, maybe it is 55. All I know is that once a year I go to pay for something and they say "you're membership is expired. Pay up or get out" so they just end up tacking on the membership fee to whatever else I'm buying.

I believe wifey paid about $100 for each one. They had a crazy sale on them sometime before Christmas. I think they were like 150-200 each, regular.

Please stay away from HF for a jack.. my friend had one and it slipped on him.. luckily he was using it as a backup jack so the other one saved him from getting smashed..

Harbor Freight is great for some things (like maybe jack stands if you wanted), But I would stay away from them for other things like jacks)

Everyone out here uses Low profile HF jacks. I like my dads jack, but it's not low profile.

I had an HF jack and the hydraulic was toast in about 3 months, took it back and got a refund.

I only shop there for consumables, or tools that I know I'll only need once or twice. I want a good quality low profile jack that can go up at least 18 inches. I'm willing to spend money on a well made one. I actually just remembered that a couple guys I know work at costco. Will ask them to check for me.

I also wouldn't trust my life to a shitty jack stand either. If there are two pieces of automotive equipment one shouldn't skimp on, they're jacks and jack stands.

My face would only be half as pretty if the oil pan landed on top of it
