lobotomy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 ^^ Exactly what I used to have to do. Just ramp it up a few inches then run the trolley jack under the car. Maybe you'll need something else if your car is that low tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie B Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 like mines, i have a few trolley jacks and never used them on my Glanza, i just used the good old standard job from Toyota S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 That caravan chock would be ideal by the looks.The car sits 4 inches from the ground, thats from the road surface to the bottom of the jam skirts at the front where the jacking point it.But tomorrow i may just cut some wood up and make a little ramp to drive it on, i need it comming up about 5 inches or so.thanks for the help guys got some cheap ideas there for temporary work !Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does the job I went in halfrauds the other day and had a look to see if they had any bud, all they had was huge monsters like the sealey jack i allready have ;) I think im just gonna buy the one off fleabay and save the hassle of looking for one.I want these skirts bonded on for next weekend, so i can sort my exhaust knocking, fit my new rear fog and finish the rear off so that i can get the thing booked in for an mot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
