yeah. my neighbor's kid bought a truck. lifted and fancy rims and all that bullshit. BUT, there was no jack or tire iron to get said fancy rims off. and he thinks he got a "good deal" on it too ????
I have to carry a couple of 4" square blocks to replace a tire on my camper trailer, truck jack does not go higher enough to lift the tire off the ground.
I got a flat in a Mustang I had recently bought and no jack in the car. I fixed the front tire using a 2×4 and a log. I weigh about 150 lb. LEVERAGE!!!

Good point.
ReplyDeleteIt's an Archimedes: "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world", moment.
ReplyDeleteJust don't forget "Big Mamma" to provide the counterweight.
DeleteThat's Mr. and Mrs. Archimedes on the end of the 6x6.
DeleteWhy should I buy a jack, when I can just as easily carry this heavy long-ass 6 by 6 and three other people everywhere I go ? Duh.
ReplyDeleteProlly sold the jack so they could buy Big Whoppers or what to hell ever they are called.

ReplyDeleteHalf the used cars I have bought were missing the jack, can't figure out how people lose them.

ReplyDeletefunctional Dodge Neon back there ? ... no way
ReplyDeleteFirst question: Do any of the parties involved even know how to use one, if they found one? You would be surprised at the number of people who don't.
ReplyDeleteI've seen too many who don't even know what it looks like. Helped change more than one tire for those kind.
DeleteThose goobers don't know jack.
ReplyDeleteWould have probably worked if they hadn't used the spare as the fulcrum.
