Front U-joints

Not sure how I'd feel following instructions from a guy that works on a Jeep lifted on two floor jacks.

The axle is the only thing being lifted on the two jacks; the rest of the Jeep appears to be properly supported by jack stands under the frame...

(Apologies in advance if this double posts - I hate Google Groups!)

You know, looking at the second front end picture closer I think I'll take the "properly" part back. It appears that the jack stands themselves are about 7.5 inches up on some wooden cribbing made out of

2x4s. I don't know how much I'd trust a setup like that, knowing how soft 2x4s can be.

The 2x4 setup is not the best (base should be wider) but still MUCH better than the concrete block trick.

LOL! That does make it easy to get to the underside, and no mud or oil dripping in your eyes, either.

When I read your first line, I was expecting a picture of a Jeep straddling a big ditch or crack, like this:

:)

Hmmm.... Hang on folks, let's see how well that rear bumper is attached...

I pulled the transmission on my 89 YJ twice without jacking the Jeep up at all.

After it was sprung over, I'm guessing?
