Default Bye j&s jack....

Sadly, I let go of the j&s lift (jack) today. I had no need for it with only a sporty. Harbor freight lift mor than handled it. Until the spot is sold the hft lift will do. I will probably include the hft with the sporty sale.

Just to keep in the spirit of the thread by virtue of jack updates, I still have and use my J&S jack.

Which hf jack do you have. The 80 buck steel or the 170 buck aluminum one. How did you like their jack.

I never invested in the J&S simply from the many threads I read here about the problems with the jack bottle itself. I purchased the Craftsman aluminum bike jack rated for 1500# and it's done everything Ive asked it to do.

Hopefully it will serve me well until I can clear enough space in the garage for a lift.

One of these days I will clear the garage. Mine is stuffed with junk I don't need. The lift will be next. Encouragement!

I just got a K&L MC655R lift a couple months ago. Man it is nice having a lift. Can't believe I waited so long to get one. Still have the Drag Specialties screw jack. It is nice to have both.
