How well does that hold up to "wrenching"? Looks awesome to park on and maybe do oil changes, but would a jack and jackstands destroy that?

 

You 'DO' know what you are getting into with that idea?

 

Exercise caution and realize jack stands can fail in all kinds of ways.......they could collapse, fracture, and they could even sink in the ground OR topple over. I have a stand that says not to support a vehicle by its side....just use a pair for either front or rear suspending. Some even say not to have all four corners in the air simultaneously.

 

 

 

I just want you to know you are kind of being a guinea pig when lifting on slopes (I used to do this alot), using unsure foundation such as soft ground, hot asphalt that can sink, broken concrete etc.....I have heard of using a 2X4 on the jack saddle to get the vehicle higher but I dont like the idea of interfering with the stands and their footing supports or the contact at the pawl/saddle. This is not a time to be careless or experiment.

For what its worth, and if the original poster is still looking, that G-Floor through Home Depot is OSHA approved for shop/industrial flooring. I have it in my mobile service trailer. I cut it with a razor knife and a bit of heat. I'm sure jack stands would leave an indention but it will most definitely hold up to some abuse.

I have my garage coated with G-floor. I bought it through Homedepot.

 

The rolls I bought are 10x25 I believe.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
