I am doing my swap this saturday, however the ***** who was supposed to lend me the cherry picker is playing games, so I have to rent one.

I was curious what is the best nationally recognized place (pep boys, autozone, rentacenter) that rents out cherry pickers, and who has the best price for the day ? Thanks in advance

 

if you're renting one...wouldnt you get your money back when you return it? :thinking:

 

you get the security deposit back when you return it, but most places also charge a daily rental fee.

 

Real men don't need an engine hoist.









Ha ha, just kidding. You will need one to put it back in. I'd say grab a phone book and start making calls to get prices. You might want to consider machine rental places too. Seeya.

 

Man I remember when you first posted those pics Andy. What you been up to. I have frequented this site in forever.

 

I haven't been up to much. My hybrid's wrecked. Some woman ran a stop sign and pulled out infront of me. There's pics on Divizion's site (www.divizion.com). Estimated to be about $2600 in damages. I got a letter from her insurance company a few weeks later saying since the police didn't write her citation, she wasn't at fault and they're not paying. My insurance said to talk to the local district justice so they had me send a certified letter saying I want $2500 in 10 days or I'll take legal action. I sent it and she refused to pick it up (certified letters have to be signed for). Now I have a hearing on March 31st at the district justices to get the money to fix my car. I only had liablity, theft and fire insurance (no collision). I'm not too worried about loosing, but I'm just irrated I have to go through all this.

Sorry, long rant. I don't get on here much anymore either. I just stop in once in a while and try to help out. Seeya.

 

Insurance company's are full of assholes! My neaghbor has a 98 Nissan broken to all hell siting in his driveway! Here is the storie, he had just finished paying off his car $13,000 and he had a sweet turbo setup put on it day after he paid it off (Sr20DET motor Then 2 days after that he had an anxiety/athsma attack on the freeway and rolled his **** like 8 times! After he got out of the hospital (Limping around on one leg with a neck brace + his dad is dying in the hospital and a bunch of other **** was ****ed for him at this time... Poor guy) His insurance company sends him a letter that says sorry were going bankrupt and we cant give you any money BLAME IT ON OSAMA BIN LADDEN! I could not believe this ****! I just stared at the words over and over.... I would have been hapier if they just put sorry we got no money for your brand new $13,000 dollar car you just paid off two days ago, your ****ed.

 

you dont need no engine lift...... jack the car way up in the air, slide the new motor under it nad lower the car onto the engine, you will have to pick the tranny side up about 3 inches but the driver side will fall right into place. you can take the engine out the same way, lower the car till the engine is on the ground and unbolt it, jack the car up

 

what kind of jack is going to lift my car above the motor, and how would I slide it out from the bottom ? Sounds harder and riskier than it should be...

 

Umm ever wonder how guys with 4x4's that are lifted beyond belief jack their truck up to cahnge their tires???

They make jacks that will jack up over 48inches.
