Yeah me too :) I only jack my wagon up to work on brakes / suspension.

The coupe is the opposite - I have to jack it up to remove the diff, exhaust or even the tailshaft. And the worst is if I want to remove the engine & gearbox, I actually have to undo the crossmember & suspension and lift the car back over the drivetrain!

I can't. When I put my engine back in a few nights ago I somehow popped one of my inner CV's out of its socket while jacking the gearbox. So I had to take the wheel off and axle out to put a engine in. :(

But I think to take it out I'd need to jack my 2" lifted rig up a little, just dont see every thing coming out the bottom :?
