One of these days I'll get smart enough not to do stupid BS like this!

I really did this when I was a kid.

This will make it easier to change the oil!

Que 1974, 4 Y/Old gets up at 6 am daylight saving morning.

I used No 8 wire. By shear coincidence, I used the off / on switch, and then turned it on after inserting the bailing wire into the plug. In New Zealand, its 3 pin 240 V, 50 HZ, and you have a 1 in 6 chance of not killing yourself. Like Russian Rouliet....

After switching it on, it glowed red and then tripped the circuit breaker.

Luckily, I've never dropped a car, but I damaged this F150 on the hoist....Shoulda used a big block.....

With the butter knife in the electrical outlet (here in the US) you have a 50/50 chance whether you get the hot or the neutral if you're a kid and don't know which is which.

So as dirty Harry would ask - Do you feel lucky today? Well do ya punk?

Sorry, that line always cracks me up.

For the car.....that my friends is what happens when you lift a vehicle with a frame under it by using the rockers. I'm 99% sure that's how that happened.

Btw, it looks like they need to move it back out of the paint prep area and back to the body work bay.

That frame just got Knock tha hell out by the body

I've been studying that picture to try and figure what transpired to cause that disaster. The only thing I can figure out is they were trying to lift the body off the frame and either forgot to remove something that was still attached between the two or the hoist arms weren't properly set and when they started to lower or raise the assy. chaos ensued, quite rapidly at that.

So I got lucky twice.....

I never died when playing Fusile Link and Park with my three pin plug




And when I hoisted the same Jeep, it never fell appart when I removed the belly pan for a Vehicle Import Clean.









I was born lucky!

I was working in the summer of 1979 at a rust proofing franchise. One of the other stores was short of help so I was sent to fill in.

A big Ford Econoline 4x4 van needed to be done and I was the underbody guy. I put the van on the lift with the pads stood on their maximum. The suspension dropped of course but I didn't notice any problem.

After the owner picked it up, he came back about 10 minutes later complaining about a vibration. The rear driveshaft had made contact with the metal plate on top of the lift cylinder enough to cause a dent. I was never invited back to that store.

That's not the same vehicle as in the original post, nor could your Grand Cherokee have come apart like that because it's a unibody. The SUV in the original post is a Chevy Tahoe.
