The shop that is installing my locker is taking forever. Pissed off at HF, pissed off my axle is not finished. Most of all pissed off at myself for being cheap and shopping at HF. Jack stands and tarps are the only thing I have ever purchased from HF. Note to self avoid HF Chinesium.

Guess I'm going to have a lifetime supply of tarps because I certainly won't be buying another set of stands with the refund.
Mine are so old there are no stickers or numbers on them, but they look exactly like the ones shown. I've never really trusted them and usually leave the jack or slide the ramps under the wheels for insurance. I just bought 16 ACDelco big block plugs for the 69 closed chamber heads and realized that they're made in China...Seems we cant even make toilet paper in this country anymore...Makes me sick!!!
