I had a jack failure tonight. Luckily I ALWAYS use jack stands. Use this as a reminder to NEVER forget to use jack stands when working on your car fellas!!!!!

The beast is all put back together. Unfortunately I couldn't get the springs on...ran into a locking bolt that wouldn't budge and I don't have a breaker bar or impact drill. Womp Womp.
