What? I seriously see somebody pinched in two or pinned to the ground with the outrigger bar.

Or one stud break & the remaining 9 zipper right on off.

Or somebody under it put just a bit too much "ummph" in a breaker bar while under & bring it right back down or...

Just sayin'.

To work on it or just move it around? Dollies work great for rolling toys around the garage.

I would be amazed if a person could tip a truck up with that thing. No way with the pictured setup.

I've worked in stripped mustangs on a rotary skewer but that's half the weight of a complete truck, and the skewer was way beefier.

Geez 4 post lifts start around $1500, I've seen new ones on special for $1300. I bought a used 12000 lb one for $800, probably $1k all in; with paying for a little help taking it down and moving it, fasteners & epoxy to glue the studs into the slab. It has payed for itself over and over. Working around that would scare the BeJesus out of me, and you still couldn't use transmission jacks, you couldn't do brake work, well you could on one side at a time Plus preparing to use that would be some serious *****, no casual run it up and see what that rattle is.....
