Thats awesome lol. At least you don't have to jack your truck up. I can change the oil in my ranger without jacking it up but the girls camry is a pain in the dick. Plus my garage is barely big enough to pull a riding lawnmower in...end up laying on an old piece of carpet that god knows what's been on it, out in the driveway....

My truck wont fit in any "normal" garage, gotta be a tall bay or nothing lmao. I dont have to jack it up unless I'm pulling a wheel, but it does suck working on it in the winter because of this...

I just changed the oil in my ranger in the snow on my back in the driveway... At least you have somewhere inside to work haha.

+1 on this in the winter I take mine to the dealership I used to work at and let them do all mine. Not worth it for me to have the snow and salt dripping all over me, I hate that!

I just always change it in the Monte and Mustang before it gets too cold out. Then there good until Spring time. If I do however need to change it, I'm out laying in the cold ass drive way. Just gotta suck it up lol.

Sucks to do in the snow when you have 4 gallons of oil to move around when the pan is full!!! I also have heat in the garage so at least it was a tad warmer... 24 here yesterday!!

You could have taken some air out of the tires...

Those pics are GREAT!! I could make a really bad porn movie quote, but I'll refrain.:lol:
What kind of boat is that? Kind of looks like an older (late 80's/early 90's) Formula?
Big blocks or small blocks?

Yeah but then you have to jack the truck up to crawl underneath it....

I'd sell the boat and build a bigger garage.

Man, I love those old Forces!
They were a bit heavy, but they handle the water and look great!
Yours is lookin' good!

You need one of these....
I was going to fill it in when I bought the place because I thought it would be a safety hazzard... But after I changed my oil with it this winter, there is no way I would now!!!
