its not it breaking but just simply falling over, if it was one solid piece would be fine,
i use to use tree stumps that i cut up and then put jackstand on top of them when i had work on my offroad truck

Did you finally blow your rear end up or just swapping it out? Also, what gear do you have in your new rear?

I don't think you could have found a bigger floor jack... Wood is cool we use it for our 79000 lb vehicles at work... have used worse things for pulling entire k-member not so sure I want to disclose that info on here though....

Just read in the Press Enterprise the other day about a guy killed under his car.

I thought I was gonna help you? You're lucky I didn't, I would have to sabotage it to win our race.
