These Wheel Cribs are going to be essential for me when working under the car!

Thank you for showing the entire process of lifting all 4 corners ( all the other videos fast forward over jacking up the back ) I wish now I would’ve ordered the stack for the reason you pointed out . I guess I’ll purchase a second jack to raise the front end evenly and then the back end evenly on my Camaro ZL1
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Thanks! 👍
Great video!
Thanks! 👍
Thanks for the video.
You bet! 👍
I just built my own, made them in two pieces so that I can really get her up in the air safely. I used two carriage bolts in the top layer of the first wheel crib to lock in the second layer. They only protrude roughly 3/4 inches, but more than enough to lock in that top layer, as the weight of the car is applying pressure downward, not to the sides. Cost me a few hours of time and roughly $100 in lumber, deck screws and carriage bolts. Very happy!
You got pictures or a video of how the job came out. I would love to build my own.
Thanks for sharing
Glad you found it helpful 👍
I have the 2 piece 10inch. It is a good idea to get the long reach jack to get more height , so it isn’t sketchy when getting the car up to the 10-12 inch height. One thing should kept in mind is if doing differential or transmission fluid changes, it might still be a good idea to use the Esco Jack stands because they usually require level ground, some cars with after market suspension heights might not be exactly level
Great comment and suggestion 👍 I do plan on getting a long reach at some point.
I see they are $250 now as of Janusry 12, 2023....is that for a set? So i would need to buy $500 worth for all 4 wherls off the ground? Or do i need to buy 4 of these for a total of $1000?
Hi! I was looking for a review just like this! Great video :) I would like to buy the 12" 2-pieces just like yours!
Just a quick question: do you think 12" would be enough to perform a clutch job?
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful 👍 I would think 12" should be high enough.
You sound just like samcrac lol. Your videos are way more enjoyable though. BMW FTW 💪💪💪
Haha, I guess I kinda do. 😅
Have you tried lifting the car from the center of the front / rear so that the load is distributed evenly to 2 cribs at a time? I got a little nervous seeing them slide a little at 6:38 and 6:55
Yeah, I try to when I can, but my jack isn't low enough to get under to the central jacking point when the cars on the ground. In retrospect, I should have done that when I added the second stack.
@@fthirty3 I had the same issue with clearance, but then I just trimmed the ends of a couple 2x4s. Now I use them as mini ramps I drive onto in order to fit the jack underneath.
Great video, thank you. I had already purchased the single 12” cribs but planned on using two floor jacks at once to raise each end. First, raise the front all at once then the back. What are your thoughts on that?
That would absolutely work 👍
I built my own cribs, and ran into that issue with my old Buick, so I ran up to Home Depot and bought another 3 Ton Husky jack. Made getting the car up in the air incredibly easy, and safely. I would highly recommend you use two jacks, that way you can really get her up if need be, and do it safely.
Would it make sense to get 1 pair that are a solid 10" and another pair that are adjustable 10"? So when using them, first start with 1/2 height on one side, then full height on the other side, then add the remaining 1/2 on the 1st side. This way, the car is never more of an angle in elevation that when using 2 pairs of adjustables. Also, I am very skinny so I think 10" will be fine for me.
10's would work too. i just wanted as much clearance as possible so that i could do exhaust work, etc easily. using the front and rear center jacking points is a good option as well and what i should have done in the video. i just didn't have a jack that was low profile to be able to fit far enough under the car.
With them being a two piece solution .. have you experienced or seen any risk of them “slipping” as you are lowering the tire on to them via a jack. Thanks for your video
No issues at all so far. Glad I got the two piece design
I have one question. Can you use both the bottom and top components independently, so if you bought two sets, you could use 6 inches of elevation on all four wheels?
You can use the bottoms separately, but not the tops.
@@fthirty3why can’t be the top
Pieces used separately? Please explain sir🙏🏼…is there any safety issue?
Its by design. It's meant to use the bottom if seperate but not the top.
If you like fancy and have the money these are cool but there are way more cost effective ways to do this. Good video though.
"I would never be able to get this clearance with just jack stands". 7:35
If you look at the specifications for some ratcheting jack stands you should be able to see the min/max height, and find some pretty reasonably priced ones that go from 15 - 24 inch (which is both lower and higher than 12" from the bottom of the tire), they just aren't the entry level or lowest weight capacity ones.
I don't see why you would use this unless you had a car with special shaped jack points that don't work with normal jack stands, but you might be able to find specially shaped jack stand pads anyway.
This wouldn't work too well for a brake job or tire rotation as well.
then, what do you do for tire rotations?
To change a tire I use a jack stand. But because I have a staggered setup, I can't actually rotate the tires
Do you see any problem just using them only on the front wheels (and let the back wheels rest on the ground)?
Also what jack lift would you recommend?
Great question. No issues just using them in the front. I use a jack I got from harbor freight. I wish I would have gotten the low profile long reach one though.
@@fthirty3 Thanks. How is the low profile one beneficial? Newbie here and dont want to end up buying a bad fit for the job. I saw in some other videos that certain types (sizes?) of jacks might not be able to lift the car as high as 12 inches?
@@stuckinamomentt Getting a low profile jack is helpful when your car sits low to the ground. i sometimes have trouble getting the jack i have under the car to the central jacking points because it's not a low profile jack. i just have to be a little more creative when jacking up the car. :)
Thank you,I was also wondering if I can just use them for the front.
Sure, just make sure to use the ebrake and put some wheel chucks behind the wheels. 👍
I can work on my future Corvette
was that a scarsm or you actually have the corvette by now?
@@HelmetVanga no vette now, I’m still in the process of creating wealth, investing, saving etc….
I would still recommend putting two jack stands under the car for safety reasons
Will this pick up a suv for example a infiniti qx60?
If you've got all 4, they'll hold up to 6,000 lbs, which should be enough as I don't think the qx60 is over that. But check the weight of the suv to be sure. 👍
@@fthirty3 thank you so much!
the term "foam" makes me nervous... I think I am going to weld a box of metal with handles and pour high mix of good cement with a crib curve... Even jacks stands from a specific company gave way,, dont want to mention that brand but they recalled several of their models.
This is some super strong foam. I found it stronger than the plastic ones. But I totally understand your concern
That's one long ass intro pre-roll at 30 seconds. Get rid of the music when you're talking too.
Agreed. I use to have much short intros on my channel and I learned that people on YT HATE intros. It's annoying and the just skip over it, especially if they are repeat viewers of your channel, even if the intro looks super cool. People have articles on how bad an idea to have intro are. It's not TV. It's YT, where people can easily skip over it or even leave your channel. Look at your YT channels analytics and you will see how your audience retention drops during the intro.
They dont make seprates anymore. Its all or nothing.
I just checked and it looks like the separates are still available.
@@fthirty3 Yeah, only the 14" though. I guess thats OK.
@@TOMVUTHEPIMP They do, just click on 12 and theres an option to select multiple
Oh hell no i would not trust that Holly shi
Twelve inches? Wouldn't it be healthier and cheaper to lose some weight?
Not completely sure what you're talking about. Sometimes it's nice to have some room to work with when dropping the exhaust or changing the transmission fluid,/filter.
There are plenty of skinny guys getting these cribs or making them from 2x4’s for 12 inches of clearance. You don’t have to be a stout guy to want more room to work with.
Dude, I don’t know what you’re talking about! The end game for all of us is to have a garage with a full size hydraulic lift, so we can stand underneath our cars. You’d know that if you’ve ever worked under a car before.
