ArdWrknTrk Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Jim - I hope you can get this done before the next storm comes in! It is apparently coming through here now and headed your way. And, I hope the rotors can be salvaged. Good luck! Well, it's supposed to dry up around 10. Then it's supposed to rain again at 3. It's just the inside of the right rotor. The left is good. But I know I should have both cut. I'm still waiting on USPS either way. Amazon doesn't do its own same day delivery here like it does at my sister's, in the Philly suburbs.

Maybe I'll change the shocks and front shackles while I wait. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Maybe I'll change the shocks and front shackles while I wait. 🤔 Amazon does some of its own delivery here, and we frequently have next-day delivery. Can't tell about the inside of the rotor, but it doesn't look too bad. To paraphrase the catch phrase from Are You Being Served, it'll clean up with wear. Yes, you might get the shackles and shocks swapped while you wait - assuming you can get things loose. But won't you need your jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have a laugh when I tell her the Amazon Fairy is on the way, since I get notified when the van is one or two stops up the street. I don't like the jack stands setting in a muddy paddock. I'll have to get some plywood under there. That orange 2 1/2 ton floor jack has a little twist, but it's okay. I will need to move the stands to either the engine cross member or behind the springs to unload the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty fancy. Be careful with the jack and stands. Please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please! It does seem pretty scary with that much cantilever out in front of the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 It does seem pretty scary with that much cantilever out in front of the stands. YES, it DOES! And with the stands up that high. Yipes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 YES, it DOES! And with the stands up that high. Yipes! Maybe I'll have to invest in a pair of 12 ton stands the next time Horrid Fate has them on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the jack/stand combo's? https://www.amazon.com/Alltrade-640912-Black-All-Bottle/dp/B003ULZGFU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt 11" will get beneath my beams or diff with the tires I have, and it definitely won't if I have a flat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
