Hmm, is that thing low profile? I need to find a jack that can get under my car... Been looking for those built for lowered cars. I can't get on any lift or jack without jacking up at the rear tow hook

hunter makes some good shit.


I know for acura's that jack might work, but for alot of other cars, you cant fit the jack far enough under the car to lift it. Really a pita with that AL jack from harbor freight with my 240sx.

We have Rotary lifts at school. I think thats the brand name, or maybe its the model? I dunno. We have Hunter alignment machines though, 2 of them. They are brand new and cost $70,000 each

why not drive up to a few 2x4s first? just glue some rubber sheets on one side and you're set

I know you can get the regular super heavy ones for $30 but not the aluminum ones.

does it matter if it's heavy? It sits on the floor and jacks the car up. Seems like a waste of money if you ask me.

matters to some but obviously not all.

matters to me since it's nice to have a floor jack I can take to events. plus my back isn't too happy with the 70lb one.
