Homer Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 It's a bit of a palaver for me, I use the stock jack to raise the car an inch so I can get a 2 ton trolley jack under (must buy a low level one!), then lift it as high as it's safe and stick either 2 or 4 axle stands under whichever end is being raised, dependant on how much force is needed to shift whichever bolt it is that's being removed. Managed to do a single conversion and completely rebuild a supra like this. However it'd have been far easier with a proper garage/pit/4 post lift!

lockys96 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 you could install a air jack system on your supra, then its like f1 car pitstops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Trolley jacks and 4 axle stands... I've seen single phase lifts but can't find the URL. Is that driveway on a slope? I never had the balls to put the car fully on stands on a slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I normally place two bricks per tyre on the grond, Then drive the car onto them, That way I can get the clearence to just about squeeze the jack under. But Im also very lucky to have a few of my best mates that work in a garage monday to sat, So sat afternoons if its not too busy we get the two poster and MOT ramps to our selfs, Or all day sunday. My cars cleaner underneath than on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I hate having to jack the car up. I usually find driving the wheels onto a 2" thick planks of wood first helps so i can get the trolley jack underneath. It's not nice jacking up one corner at a time on the supra as the chassis is so stiff compare to a normal car that all of a sudden the you get the wheels that are on he ground quickly skipping themselves across the ground. Ramps are a nightmare as you need someone to see you on and i always think im gonna drive over the end of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzsupra Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I just use a 2T jack and some axle stands. Bought them yesterday, the jack's a bit rubbish but it gets the car high enough to get the stands under it then it's all ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 I use these ramps http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e370/suprasun/th_speaker105.jpg looks odd from the front http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e370/suprasun/th_speaker106.jpg And can you get the front up this way ? I'm thinking not ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
