That's way cool, but I'm sure it falls into the category of "If you have to ask, you can't afford it"

just found out they are $3500...more than I paid for my DD and almost as much as I paid for my '60.

If this catches on they may even come up with things like lifts that raise the whole vehicle.

You could almost buy two lifts or a lift and one of those electric scooters to ride around under it for that price.

My first thought was that the truck he so easily slides under has to be lifted. Then I noticed it's on jack stands...

My stock F4 is pretty far off the ground, and on a standard creeper, I barely clear everything going underneath... except the tail pipe... I almost always get stuck under the tail pipe.

So if you have to jack up the truck anyway, as AX said, why not get a lift for $3,500?

And besides, the exercise getting up and down fifty times to get the right tool is good for you. Isn't it?

Glad I'm not the only one who does that. It certainly seems like good exercise, but I'm not getting any thinner.

For that much it should be motorized. But it makes a very cool video...

My garage isn't big enough for that thing. I could only roll it around in the sitting position away from all my tools. Besides, it cost more than I have in my truck right now.

It is pretty cool though.
