Found the perfect platform for my roof sliders. A couple of pieces of old corral fence, thin enough to not be top heavy but should take some decent abuse and the best part is I got it for free :-)

Today was day 3 of changing my clutch and it has been fighting every step, got the trans all cleaned up but has trouble getting it back in. My trans jack adaptor is to tall and makes it a pain to use.
