I'm just glad the rotor didnt slam on the ground! They only have about 30mi. on em!!!
now would be a good time to post that pic of the guy changing his tranny with the truck tilted over on a 2x4.
**I can't find it, damnit!

Damn man, if you don't have a stand either wait or at least get the wheel you just took off under the frame.
Yes, it's a terribly stupid thing to do. Yes, it could have ended up alot worse. Yes, other people do this all the time... hopefully a few of them will learn from this as well.

Heh, I thought of that pic just from reading the title of this thread, before I even clicked on it.
Seriously. ALWAYS use a jackstand and I always rock the car a bit, to ensure it is steady and safe.
I'd rather DESTROY the car vs my body! The car can be fixed, you know?

it's very up most important to be the safest you can while working in potentialy dangerous situations.
i was working on a vw sandrail, (vw bug suspension) and i over sprung the passenger torsen spring. and my jack flipped, needless to say mistakes were made.
gore bloody pic...
i have to work every day with this staring me in my face, and most people dont even know the trouble it's cause me.

My car almost fell over while on jackstands
It was on 4 stands for about 2 months, this is what the ones on the front of the car looked like when I put the car down. I don't know when it went like that, I didn't notice till after I took them out. And I was under the car alot over those two months doing floor repairs and exhaust work.
Needless to say I went and took back my 6 ton jack stands that my buddy was borring. The ones pictures are 2 ton stands.

I knew a girl who's boyfriend died about 5 months ago from working under a car without jackstands... jack failed, crushed him. I will never put any part of my body under a car without jack stands.
