I bought an Alltrade aluminum jack at Costco a few weeks ago before 
reinstalling my overdrive gearbox. It made that two person job into a 
one person job. It's also low enough to fit easily under the TR4 frame. 
Cost about $110. Takes 4-5 pumps to have the TR4 high enough for a short 
jackstand. Wish I had it years ago. Here's a photo.
