    GoJacks without the stupid price tag

    As above.
    I don't see $400 in a pair of small hydraulic jacks mounted on a box frame with some castors.
    Who's got the hookups for chinese knockoffs for a reasonable amount?

    I can get them in. Price worked out to roughly $400 for a set of 4 wide ones (can take up to a 325 wide tyre from memory but can confirm) delivered to your door Aus wide.
    I have a minimum order though. Something like 10 full sets from memory. Oh and it's sea freight, so there would be a wait.

    you can always hear them when they break and they stop the engine immediately so you can't do any more damage.

    supercheap sell them for about $180 a pair.

    *edit* sorry, $180 each, which is fucking stupid. Not many one wheel cars out there. I'm sure I saw them sold as a pair at Glendale tho.

    Yeah, definitely $180 each. Although a while ago i managed to get a pair for $149 because it was really ambiguious on the signage and so i convinced the chick that it must be for a pair.

    Got a talk to from the manager the next time i was in there. *shrugs* i didnt know any better though.

    Jegs ones are individual sale, so $400 US before we start, and then shipping kills it in the arse.

    This.....
    Not to mention the fact that the casters are actually decent and can roll the car or change direction without issues....

    Would only buy the original go-jaks, not the rip off hydraulic copies.

    Lol at jegs shipping prices, it would almost be cheaper to fly over and bring them back as baggage.

    for some reason I just got the mental image of these, motorised and remote controlled, stealthily shifting cars in parking lots...

    kinda like a scene in iRobot or something where they all arrive on that stand, then drop down individually...

    Stupid video is stupid. It can't multiply your strength, unless there are hidden steroids. It's not a force magnifier either.
