Cool

I don’t even know how I work on my Dakota my back is so trashed but I refuse to stop take a bunch of Advil and keep moving. My back is so bad sometimes I can’t get up it’s so painful. The nerves in my back get pinched and I cant even move my legs.

Stopping is not an option

I don’t know if a contraption like that would help or not?

that was on one of those shows where you present your idea and they decide to build it or not.

I would guess a very high price also

I also notice they were using it on a lifted truck with good ground clearance to role under a truck a compact car forget it so it has limited use.

With all those moving parts I would think getting a finger pinched or cut off by the thing is very high.

Looks good but not a good idea at all

they were using it with a lift too. granted i think it was a low lift that you drive on. i think they are called 4 post lifts that don't go really high.

There are different kinds of 4 post lifts. Some that only go up a few feet and others than go up 6 feet or so. I wouldnt buy a 4 post lift to big and bulky.
