I know this is a very late post. I was just doing a double check on the (joke) Hazmat Fees. My grand son has found powder and primers at a very good old pre-gouge price. I had him get 4 pounds of...

I've looked at both these lifts. After trying to move this beast I wouldn't trust either one to lift it safely. I've seen the smaller one with a V6 on it and it was sort of scarey. I think this...

Just an update.
My buddy and I picked up the LaBlond Sunday afternoon. It took 3 hours and 3 come-a-longs to move it up a ramp made form aircraft matting. We first jacked it up and put 4x6x8's...
