Re: Praises for a Toyota Jack

It looks like the word is out. They are not cheap anymore. Now about $50 from ebay.

Re: 2008 Trailblazer SS

The shortened link seems to have done the trick. Both sides are now 32 3/4 inches as measured from the floor to the lip of the fender. I will monitor it for a while to make sure it stays that way.

Re: Jaguar XJS shopping

Re: 2008 Trailblazer SS

Other "things" around the house and the "Ponderosa" have kept me quite busy lately, but I will get to it when I can. I'll try to get before and after photos, too.
