Rhino Ramp Max.

Even though I have the Quickjack 7000, the Rhino Ramp Max (rated for 16,000lbs) are worth the $75 (Advance Auto carries them), for oil changes.

With the QJ 7000; each of the 2 hydraulic ramps weighs about 100lbs and is 71” long, and I have to connect the two hoses, and the GooLoo GT4000 to power the hydraulic unit.

Each of the Rhino Ramps weighs maybe 10’ish lbs. I can just grab them and position them in front of the front wheels, drive onto them. Chock the wheels and go.

So much faster, that waiting for the oil to fully drain takes the most time. This, coupled with the Valvomax oil drain valves, make oil changes super easy.

Yeah absolutely! Now since she’s out of free oil changes it’s my turn. I’ve got a fumoto valve I’m going to put on it like I have on my truck. So easy to just drain right into a milk jug or an empty def jug!!!

Last year I was seeing a doc for a yearly check up.
He was looking my the paperwork. He shook his head, so I asked him what was up.
He said “just a heads up, your BMI puts you in the ‘overweight’ category, so when you see it, that is the reason.”

So, Murph, you and me both .

I'm in the BMI Bros club too.

But my doctor said not to worry about it since it's not a useful gauge for everyone. But also because I'm handsome.

I blame the insulin. I lost a bunch of weight when I found out I was diabetic. Diabetes is a hell if a disease. This insulin makes me fat.

Dude if a doctor considers you overweight......


I must be a planet lol

Y'all have seen doctors this past decade or two?

BMI is total BS. Zero consideration paid for build. A lanky runner build and a lineman with a broad chest at the same height have a VERY different healthy BMI...

 

[stjones]

I’m 5’11, 175 and that chart puts me between normal to overweight. Lol
But in reality (at least mine) I’m pretty fluckin’ thin. Unfortunately not handsome.

It was the 2nd beautiful day in a row in my area but it's predicted to start raining tomorrow.

So, I decided to take my "little red sports car" (a 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder) out for a short drive via a nice twisty backroad to have lunch before heading back home via the freeway. It's the 1st time I've driven the car in months & it was great fun as usual!!!

Cool! I have not seen a Mr. Two in a long time.

I've owned this one for 18 years.

It's just a toy and still has less than 60k miles on it for an average of only around 2.5k miles/yr.

I was a big fan of the design of the previous gen! Almost bought one in '95, then got a sweet deal on an awesome '89 CRX instead. Almost bought one again when the CRX got rear-ended and totaled in '98 (). Regrets I have...

Playing catch with the boy after school, I got to remember he’s 7. Gave him a nice shiner on his left eye.

Sounds like a lift kit is needed!

Always! I love being able to put a 5 gal bucket under my truck to empty those 16 qts.

I feel his pain! At about the same age my Dad popped me in the eye with a baseball. Don’t worry, we get over it. Mostly.
