    Decided to drop some cash on a few safety items a couple years back. Been quite happy with them.

    Oh hell yeah! Those wheels are a game changer on dirt I bet. Nice set all together. Is that other piece near the handle stored there and swapped in for higher lifting?

    I’ve got the mechanical screw-type bottle, and I welded a bolt where you’d normally insert the prybar to spin it. So now I can use a drill with a socket adapter and socket to run the jack. With a 20V dewally, it’ll lift about an inch per second. It’s been workin well for me and I’ve been using it a lot. Still fits in its original storage spot under the rear seat, and I’ve always got a cordless drill with me.

    [​IMG] Put it on the alignment rack again. The solo arms look like they might give me too much caster to get the one side aligned right. I have some weirdness left to right. My right side eccentrics are pretty far out compared to the left.


    Drives great. Return to center on the wheel feels perfect. No earth or anything. I just don’t like the camber

    SPC uppers might get you back where you want. IIRC they'll do up to +2° camber.

    Still not as much storage as the 1st Gen Toyota Ridgeline.

    Honestly, I've only been using it around the garage and driveway. It's been great for that especially if you don't have perfect asphalt or concrete. It rolls over extension cords, hoses and zip ties with ease.

    That piece stays there unless I need to place jackstands on the truck. It still has a lot of lift without it.

    That's exactly what it is. Adds up to 8" for a total of 2'2" on flat ground.

    It’s more than I wanted to spend given I paid $10k for the truck, but you can’t beat the functionality.

    Drove my truck for the first time since doing the timing belt and other various work. Runs like a top. CSF aluminum radiators and 150a Denso alternators are a go for the best gen Ridgeline. I also installed the roof rack I ordered, currently it doesn't have the middle section installed. It doesn't make any noise up there.

    They got bought out by a company that decided to discontinue production of the long tubes, maybe shorties as well?
