Quick Question
Hi all,
Was wondering how many people here use stands for their trucks whether they are homemade or store bought and some pics as I would like to have a stand.
Thanks very much in advance.

RE: Quick Question
I had one that I made from acrylic, but was messing around and ended up breaking it LOL.
I got the acrylic from lowes, you can get a fairly large sheet for like 10 bucks.
I made mine shaped like one of these on its side [ kinda like a small table.
Cut out the acrylic into a rectangle shape, then take a torch (use a small butane one, not a big old propane one) and carefully heat up the acrylic where you want an 90degree bend, then bent it over and let it cool.
You got to be careful when you heat the acrylic because it can 1. bubble up (which ruins it) or 2. catch on fire then bubble up (2 problems then).
