Hey Bill look at this guy. First to lift an SS and all of a sudden he rates to insult one of our founding fathers...

Not saying I wouldn't call him fat... haha, I might! But I was suggesting he typoed the tons of his jackstands. Not to mention, I wasn't the first to lift an SS either. haha

BACON!!!!

I am pretty sure you are the first to lift an SS that is functional... And actually taken off road.

You'd be wrong. I recall seeing those. I can't find them now but I have these 12 ton stands: http://www.harborfreight.com/12-ton-jac ... 34924.html

Room for 2 full size trucks end to end is a pretty decent sized garage.

I can't even fit my whole truck in, well I could if I took that support beam out but them the 50+ year old building would collapse! The ass end is about a foot outside, even without the tire carrier. Image

I could get mine in the garage if I backed out the golf cart, the ATV, the lawn mower and some random tools that never got put back up.

Lawn mower is all I have to put in there now, would like a golf cart, and I gave my ATV to my Brother, I barely ever took it out and he was always borrowing it anyway.

It's Mike, there is no y on the end of my name, I don't eat Kixx. Thanks. :poke:

And it's 50 degrees here. My garage is like an ice chest, I had to dig out my heater to keep working on the Trailblazer. I know, us poor Floridians have it rough :finger: .
