oh man. thats horrible. i always have a fear of working under a car with jack stands or jack i always am scared in the back of my mind...

my condolences go out to him and the family.

 

Actually the car was on the lift.

 

I heard about this earlier on the news! Man what a small world, alot of people have been checking out lately be careful guys.

I wondered if I knew this person when I heard the news.

 

RIP... sad and scary

 

r.i.p.

 

my condolences, (quick story) back ,way back! a freind of mine went to the U-pull it, jacked up the car on bumper jacks, went under to remove the trans, car fell on his head , they did not find him untill the end of the day. DEAD! Just remember to be extra carfull!!

 

i knew him also....real sad to hear. RIP Jose. Prayers goes out to his family.

 

Oh crap......Makes you want to check twice before getting under a 3,000 pound car doesn't it?

 

I remember him from around GR. RIP dude. He had one badass turbo civic.

 

i usually use the ramps. Damn. and i knew him too.

 

R.I.P.

I get under cars everyday, you take it for granted occasionally(nothing like putting a g-wagon on a lift, short wheelbase, 6500 pound tank that wobbles the entire time you lift or drop it). Just remember when getting under a car always try to have somebody around, that way if something bad happens they will hear it or at least find out, possibly soon enough to help you.

 

Maybe you mean a G-van. Yes they are a bitch to lift. I prefer the drive on rack unless I have to pull wheels. However, if you take your time, and put the big ones under the humps (straight and solid), it's actually quite safe. The extra time you take with vehicles like that could mean life and death.
I work under racks every day that either sink (which is ok, since it's predictable) or the ones that lock one side when you're lowering (which sucks a LOT on an unsteady lift, but I haven't dropped one YET).
RIP, God bless his soul.
Be safe.

 

No... a g-wagon... It's a Mercedes-Benz...Looks like a brick.

 

Oh ok... but lifting a GM van sucks *** too... BIG TIME !!!
