My X weights too much
Just got home from the rust proofing place, they couldn't finish my X it was too heavy for their lift. Apparently it is a 9000# lift and they are going to have it serviced and call me when it will be able to lift my X. It made me laugh, I told them when I come back I'll try and have an empty tank. It had no problem with the F-250 behind me though. I think it was just intimidated the the greatness of the X

Dude, that is HILAAARIOUS!!! 
The other week I had some shocks installed, and I noticed they put it on a special lift platform that was different from the other ten lifts at Pep Boys. Kinda funny.
Excursions Rule!!!

Do these things actually weigh that much more than a standard 4wd diesel pickup ? I think my old quad cab Cummins weighed #7300

ramps that I bought on sale for $39 (maybe $49) soon after I bought
the Ex. And I bought a 3.5 ton floor jack and 6 ton stands
@ Northern Tools to go with my 2 ton jack from sears from 20 years ago,
- which I now use on the axle/wheel when I need a 2nd lift.
I now lift up the front-end from the crash-bar, put the jack stands on the
crash-bar for safety, remove the tire, and lower it using the 2-ton jack.
Makes it nice and safe to work on sway bar, shocks, springs, etc.
You don't want to be under there UNLESS you have the right stuff.
