So I got a Skip Shift Elim, but....
I CANT GET UNDER MY CAR! lol. I live in an apt complex and have no ramps. I cant even make my own ramps, as I have no where to make them. Even if I bought ramps, I have no where to KEEP them...
If anyone knows of any very small creatures that could crawl under my Camaro and plug this little thing in for me, lemme know... haha

I chocked the back wheels, jacked up the front end and then used stands to hold it up. It gave me enough room to sqeeze in.

you could try to use a driveway and drive one side of the car up on the sidewalk while the other side is on the street... it might give you the clearance needed to plug the thing in (it only takes about 30 seconds)

Find someone on here that lives near you with a garage and a floor jack/jack stands, take them a case of beer.

Didn't think about this. I do have a floor jack. As unsafe as this may be, I could do it quickly haha

Take it with you to your next oil change. My dealership charged me $10 to install mine.

You are halfway there... just pick up some jack stands for like $20-30. Not worth the risk of the car falling on you in those 30 secs or more you may be under there.

if your jack can get it high enough you can always put something under a front wheel as insurance. or if you want to drive to Garland I have some ramps and installed one on mine already...

Buy the ramps.
Two big framing nails in the walls, and hang them proudly in the apt. living room. |

I bought a guy at a local shop a 6 pack for letting me use his lift for a couple minutes.

I asked if it was ok for me to install mine when I had my Borla Atak axle back installed. The guy was cool about it. I tipped him extra to say thanks for letting me get in his way.
