Went to Harbor Freight (Sacramento) Saturday. The catalog lists a "long frame" 2.5 ton floor jack w/max lift of 31" for $159.00. It was on sale @ harborfreight.com for $139.00 & it was on "in store" sale for $99.00............I told them to dig out 2 of them for me then went to look around to see what else they had. My wife came up to me & said "if those 2 large boxes by the front counter are for you - I don't think they will fit in the jeep." I told her that we will just flip up the back seat & there will be plenty of room..................she was right. She then said that instead of spending all of the money that I do on tools, I should just buy a new Tahoe for her & I wouldn't need the tools...............I had to give her the "surely you jest, blank, glassy eyed stare" (words would have gotten me into much more trouble). I am still in a state of shock, though................She called me @ work today & asked if I wanted her to drive to Sacramento & pick up the floor jacks with her Explorer.....................................................Even more shocking is the fact that she stopped @ "The Gap" on the way back...........................& didn't buy anything! Imagine that............

Watch out, she's gearing up for something big! ;-) n.
I second that notion! When my wife does something humane like that or goes out "Her" way to do something for me that I wouldn't expect. My mind then begins to ponder all the possibilites what I'm in store for in the near future.
She did say something about a new Tahoe..............But, My TJ gets lifted one way or the other before any major purchases. Maybe she is still happy because we bought the house.
Oh, she's got her eye on an H2, huh Carlos? ;-) n.
New house didn't come with a new pool boy did it? That may explain things.
The pool boy...................that would be me.
we actually took one out for a test drive (it fits). was great for cruisin' sacramento. my wife really liked it but she said we could probably buy 2 tahoes for the price of one h-2 & she would be happy with a tahoe.
actually I was just trying to convey to you how much my wife will sacrifice for the sake of the budget
