First off — Thanks Eric — These videos are so great for the home mechanic. I had a question about how you set cars on jack stands. It looked like you had the 4Runner in neutral and no parking brake when you jacked the front wheels. I’ve found that this is a little easier than what’s sometimes recommended (parking brake on) in that it lets the car roll a bit in case the jack gets hung up on the floor. What’s your preferred procedure?
