>>>>>>>>>>>>> Reaching out to the 914 community <<<<<<<<<<<

My buddy just picked up his full sized floor jack. Dang.....

Now I need to buy a full sized floor jack.

New or used as long as it's in good working condition.

Cheaper is better than expensive.

Sooner is better than later.

Anyone know of any good deals???? =-))))))

Much thanks in advance. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Most standard floor jacks wont fit under a lowered 914. The wife bought me a Craftsman low profile model from Sears. It was around 200.00? Fits under the car perfectly.

The best jack I found for a reasonable price was at Kragen. $100.00, lowest low hight and good high hight.

When it's on sale, the aluminum one from Harbor Freight is a nice one (~80.00). I've got a full size Walker Floor jack that must be 30 years old, but the aluminum one is so nice and light, I rarely reach for the old metal one. It seems to be strong enough for home use.

I just bought an Aluminum Jack at Kragen about a month ago about $80. Without the rubber pad it will just fit under my car and my car is slammed.

If you do not buy an aluminum jack you will regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, someday soon. The $200 jack at Sears is a very nice piece and will start a bit lower than the Kragen model, but the price difference was the seller for me.

I love my new jack, seriously. Hope my wife doesn't find out.

I got one at Northern tool but harbor freight has them too... around $75 IIRCit's a paint, but I use a small jack to get the car on jack stands, and then raise the car with the big floor jack... the small one will do 90% of the jobs anyway... I use the big one for dropping the engine or when I need to get way under... the small one is so much easier to maneuver...

I got one pretty much identical to that from Costco for like $65. Nice and low, and it goes high enough, I haven't maxed it out yet.
