got the comps looking perfect on the sierra mate .will have to sort some decals for them .
dont even need to paint them white the finish is sublime if i may say so myself.....pmsl.
with regards to keeping it up , i personally have never had this problem but maybe you should invest in a bedroom dremmel like long dog!!!!! fpmsl
to keep the jack up on the other hand , lift it to the raised position then put the handle all the way forward and place a tiny piece of folded paper in between the pin on the jack and the lift bar on the bottom of the handle.
this is how i keep my CAR jack raised
