Re: (fultzwagen vr6)

yeah 2x4s, or if you have a few extra patio stones laying about you can make little ramps too, that's what I've been doing ...if I for some reason can't use the hoist at work

Re: (life.love.regret)

Someone should install an integrated lift system. I think BMWs come with that? I could be wrong though.
edit: they have holes in the side skirt area where a jack hooks into.

if I ever had to get my car towed, I'd have to remove my front bumper before I'd let anyone pull it on a flatbed.

i usually take off my front bumper when i get inspections or alignments...
cant make it over the rollers or up onto the lift...

I'd be up a creek with a flat, just call a tow truck. My insurance will pay for it anyway. I have to use 3 2x6's to get a jack under it.

better question....how do you expect anybody to tow it?

Re: (ihaveavr6)

harbor freight aluminum racing jack
~2.5" saddle height, and it was $79 IIRC
it's worked wonders in the 6 months i have used it

before i'd lift the first couple inches with the 'widowmaker' than slide a regular floor jack under. my sideskirts picked up a few scars from that damn stock jack.

Would like to check one of these out. Might still have to lift up on the fender to get it under though.

Re: (ihaveavr6)

i keep a car jack from an altima in my trunk (dont trust vw jacks, too many have broke on me). The altima gets under there fine and has held up well too. And I consider myself to be pretty low for a mk4
My car....
