I imagine some of that is like standing on a pop can. It will hold 190 pounds on it until you touch the side then it crumbles down like nothing.

as far as the jeep tub goes on milk crates, yup. i wouldn't want to hop in the jeep like that. it got transferred to a rolling scaffolding setup real quick, for moving around in the garage.

I dont know if Ivans account is still active but he had some pics of 2 kegs holding up the back half of his truck. Ive held up the front end of George with the motor from just behind the shackles on the front suspension....Id say 2500ish lbs. Kegs are much much thicker than a regular can and are kept under pressure. They wont crumple.


I wouldnt stand near that jeep tub on milk crates. Thats just plain stupid.

That and a 12oz beer can doesn't raise it very high anyway.

Pounders might get it high enough.........



Anyways, cement blocks should work fine and dandy if your not a total tard. I mean, I grew up in a long skinny house with tires under it, and it was sitting on cement blocks. And guess what? You would jack it up, and than set the blocks under it, never had a issue with that fallin off the blocks. It all depends on how you stack them.

I was referring more so to the milk crate thing, it might be able to hold some weight.. until you touch the side with a pencil and it all comes down. :P

Kegs might work well, but not all of us drink as much as you Kris.

I kinda like this, welding near the gas tank is probably pretty safe too.

no but after a few 6 packs you could be onto something...but by the time you had enough cans to get it up high enough youd probably be drunk enough to actually try it lol
