This reminds me - if anyone is in the market for new jack stands, I just got a very nice set from Sears last weekend. They are "high lift" stands designed for "pickups and SUV's" They were on sale for $17.99 for the pair. (MY jaw dropped when the clerk rang them up) They were sitting right next to the inferior-looking Craftsman brand stands that were $49.99. I asked if this was a mis-mark, but he said no, that they were on sale. They are black with a yellow sliding piece, and use a ratchet-type retention mechanism rather than a pin. Very nice, and perfect size for the Vanagon. Brent Christensen '89 GL Syncro Westy Santa Barbara, CA
