That is an excellent question. In construction, point loads have total support from the top to the bottom. Here, you don't. You're relying on two 2 x 4's to support the weight of the vehicle across the span of your cribbing. Not a good scenario especially if it's inferior material with knots and splits. If you're going to do this, then it's of little financial consequence to use short squash blocks to support the middle of the span. Very cheap insurance to insure safety. This is the only way I would do something like this, especially if I'm going to be working underneath the vehicle.

Absolutely an option.

And you had better buy some long screws, or figure out a different way to fasten them together.

Did you bring a ride to show?

Both of y'all did a excellent job of coverage 👍. My car broke down the first day of the show in my driveway but I still had a great weekend at the show.. if you come next year, we can all meet up and hang out and I'm a local so I could show you around to some fun and some of the illegal car meets on Friday and Saturday night that gets wild, people drifting and doing burn outs and hanging out.

@@MyRestoRide did you bring a ride?? If not, what rides do you have?

@@sircoolbox I am building a 49 dodge which I hope to have next year or at a future event.

Unfortunately I cannot weigh in on the parking situation because I walked into the event. It seems like a very large venue and I know they have spectator parking And shuttles that run the entire event. Perhaps maybe you didn’t locate it or they didn’t have it marked well. I can understand if you have knee issues. That’s a big event and even walking around the entire fields would be difficult. I saw many using those scooters, I think they even rent them somewhere. Sorry you had a bad experience. I had a great time.

Sir, they have on the ground parking. Go to GATE 6 and you will park near the autocross event in the back. You could also park right across the street and cross the street at the main entrance and u pay and on ur way.. I think u were looking at private property that was selling parking spots. Go next year and remember to use GATE 6, also buy a mobility scooter as they help lots of people and if you decide to park a bit away then u can ride ur mobility scooter to the spectator entrance and have fun.

@@sircoolbox parking wasen't the problem, i guess if i was 30 years old again i could have walked there from home its just 70 miles, i was told by some jackass lady directing traffic at the front gate that they had no shuttle tractor or bus then i found out latter that they did, how was i 2 know im not a mind reader, as far as im concerned they can stick the whole show up there a$$ and i wont bother next year il stay at home where i belong...

You don’t have a street Rod and you want special treatment. Typical.

you made my A MODEL SEDAN look great,, thanks, rr

Exactly

Thanks

That old thing. I think I bought it used for $100

@@MyRestoRide ,Hmm right. No doubt.

Standard pine 2x4

It should. Don’t need to use them but you can on top to gain more height.

Yes they are, but the base of them are lot smaller. I'll use my tire cribs over Jack stands any day of the week when I need to work under my truck. My tire cribs are made in the USA by me and no cheap welds made in China. 😊😊😊

@@nmsidewinder ?

@@ronschild9731 you tend to build things that your life depends on a lot better than someone who doesn't have to worry about it killing them also peace of mind knowing you you built it

U need to properly tighten suspension components under load!

To each his own perspective

That’s a great tip !!

Thanks 🙏🏻

Great idea !

Right on

Thanks 👍

Yes the .5 doesn't change the overall setup

Yeah, but they come in handy when you need them....

Thanks

@@seshachary5580 Sorry, not really a word.

2x4x8 pine stud

You got it 👍🏻

@@MyRestoRide made myself a set of cribs and used the scissor lift to put them in place. The lifts in a shallow pit and when lowered it’s boarded so no clambering about on top of it’s of metal. I made the cribs as a two height set. One sits on the next and there’s a top board of 2” timber with a 2x2 across each end as a chock. So it’s ten or 18” and totally stable. Did the prop on the landrover and it was almost too high at 18” up. Stay safe

That’s awesome. Glad it worked out for you.
