This reminds me - if anyone is in the market for new jack stands, I just got
a very nice set from Sears last weekend.  They are "high lift" stands
designed for "pickups and SUV's"  They were on sale for $17.99 for the pair.
(MY jaw dropped when the clerk rang them up)  They were sitting right next
to the inferior-looking Craftsman brand stands that were $49.99.  I asked if
this was a mis-mark, but he said no, that they were on sale.

They are black with a yellow sliding piece, and use a ratchet-type retention
mechanism rather than a pin.  Very nice, and perfect size for the Vanagon.
