Yeah I wasn't dumb enough to put more than my arm under a car being held up by a single point of failure...
And EVERYONE says something like "That's why I use jackstands". I was trying to put the jackstands at the factory jacking points, which means you have to lift the car from somewhere else. I picked the diff. I had the jackstands sitting right next to the car ready to go. Just goes to show that even when you think it through, crap can still happen. I take the extra 5 or 10 minutes to lift it up one corner at a time right now. The lifting points are far more stable and you still have 3 tires touching the ground (most of the time).
