Jeeeez........there's probably one square inch in contact with the ground...if even that. Amazing that some would risk doing that.

He's probably welding up the hole in the gas tank.

Wow, that looks scary. There isnt much downward pressure on those wooden poles though. I still wouldnt do it though, lol. What I am wondering is how did he jack it up so high??? :confused:

That is downright 100% stupid. One accidental move, one accidental bump, nudge, whatever, and that guy is toast. May as well be playing russian roulette or something.

That is just stupid. Gives me shakes just looking at the picture. Those are not 4 x 4 either, just 2 x 4 but regardless one could get bumped and slid on the pavement

What, you're not supposed to do that? :jester

Wonder what he has it braced against? Could go right through a floorboard. I really can't tell if they're 4x4 or 2x4...
