    Damn for $1400 you can almost buy a lift!

      engine oil, transmission fluid, brake and washer fluid remain in the vehicle
      Oh, do they now? Yes, on some BMWs the engine oil would end up in the manifold...

        After my friend wrecked his 318is, we were stripping all the aprts and we did the same thing. Except we had no fancy roller... All muscle baby.

            but with this, u dont need to reinforce the floor, a lift you do... cool non the less, but a lift would be 20x better.

                i could see that causing damage to the engine. same as when you roll your car and the motor get turned upsdie down. Oil will run all over, that is not good.

                        lol, I thought that shit was for joke... What protects the side of the car from crushing under its own weight? And does it pull the car back down as well? lol.

                          Look at it, its pretty clear its on like.. rail things.

                          Don't worry though I wondered that too.

                          Sold it.

                            it looks like there are 2 rails, and they are bolted to the hubs, so when the car is tilted, it is not touching anywhere... that's actually kinda cool for doing like exhast work and stuff.

                              i would not want the entire weight of my car resting on two ball joints, a control arm bushing, and the trailing arm..... the weight is applied in a way those parts were not designed for.... i dont like it
