Ok, even trade for my open trailer! No one ever hangs out on my trailer, no mess for others, no one borrows my stuff, and you really don't notice it behind a 1 ton diesel!

Well played! Never have the best trailer. I am sure your kids hanging in your trailer kill the idea of hanging out.

And yes, PJS's trailer is where I hang between runs.

Done!

I found a cargo net that was the perfect size (24" x 36"):

Now I just need to drill some holes for the hooks to attach to the cart's side walls. Then, I'll add a second cargo net on the top shelf as well.

Nice idea, my jacks rode in the cab, this is much better.

I dislike having to spend $$$ to double up on these. Especially as I have customized my floor jack to perfectly nest the JP hats.

I'm wrestling with this the most, since the JP stands are now just one component in a larger system, ie: my custom floor jack. Not to mention the cordless impact wrench.

It's a pretty big investment to double up on these 3 items. The sockets, ratchets, wrenches & screwdrivers are relatively cheap by comparison. Unless you're buying Snap-on or some other $$$ tools. ;-)
Dont laugh, but at the races last week at sebring I saw the best set up. Before I tell you I must say I am just like you. I like clean tools, organized trailer, clean car etc. But the best jack stands for the track are (6) 2x6 blocks screwed together with a handle. Don't laugh. So the dimensions are 6 inches long, 5 1/2 wide and then 9 inches tall. The wood digs into the pavement and does not slide and it does not tear up the jack point. Works great. Let me see if I can find a pic.

No, I get it. The wooden stack is essentially the same as a normal jack stand. That's cool. But... I still love me my JP jack stands. They make it so much faster to jack up the car. However, you've got to have the right jack. I bought a Brunnhoelzl pro, 3-pump, low-profile model. I had Brunnhoelzl customize it to include a custom lift plate so that it meshes perfectly with my JP hat. By the way, they offer the pro model in any color you want. I got purple naturally, since Violet is also known as "purple reign". LOL

Ask for George III when you call Brunnhoelzl, and tell him I sent you!
