Ive been eyeing it at harbor freight for MONTHS, i got a 20% off coupon in the mail and was like "Hell yea, ima get 20% off the jack, im a smart mofo" little did i know i got the jack went to checkout and the girl said she cant accept it. I was like uh what? She read out the fine print and i looked like a dumbass lol. Still bought it anyways. Total was 180 with 2 year warranty, 130 without warranty. Little tip she gave me was even if the jack isnt broken, come in and get a new one before the 2 year warranty is up. They dont check if the jack works or not.

Got a new baby


JL 12W6 & JL JX-500/1 Amp. Gonna upgrade to a SLASH 500/1 later on.

Question guys!

Do any of yall know how to remove studs from the front rotors? At one point a shop stripped 3/5 of my wheel studs so I'm going to change out all five. I can't even get two of my lug nuts to screw in all the way. Going to a mechanic isn't really an option because I can't roll on three lugs in a straight line. It'd be easier if they were in a triangle.

But yeah I was reading up on it and they said I can just knock out the wheel studs with a hammer? Couldn't find too much on it for a 3G though.

^its a bitch to do. I have like 2 or 3 studs to replace....


I have that same jack, Tony.
Except, I should have opted for their alum version. 30lbs versus 80lbs for mine.

Hey guys I know get on here much but do you any of you guys know anyone selling any decent 17" wheels for a decent price my friend's wheel got cracked and he might as well get a another set of wheels. But he didn't wanna spend a lot or change wheel size because his tires are still brand new. Unless you guys know a place that'll fix it for good price.
