The guy is still alive I believe. I think it's on pirate4x4 forums or something like that. Last pics I saw of it, it was running 2.5 Rocks, and some big tractor tires.

I think there's an old saying about angels, children, and idiots that explains that...

I can't see the advantage of having both ends out at the same time.

I would have done one end, then the other, while the end not being worked on helps hold things up.

Many years ago, I jacked up and removed all four wheels from a big gooseneck cattle trailer, doing something to the brakes.

I had just gotten up from sitting on the ground, with my legs partially under the trailer.

I stepped away and BOOM, the whole thing rocked sideways, off the jacks, and hit the ground.

Border Collies shot out from under there like bullets, with no fatalities.

I saw right then that it don't take long to get killed or maimed.

really, most rednecks aren't st00pid. we may take a bit of a risk, but I wouldn't say st00pid by any stretch of the imagination.
