Very cool idea.

[JeepcoMJ]

give me an applicable use for it, and I will tell you it's a good idea.

 

 

it's useless for brake jobs because of how it mounts

 

you can't drain oil while it's sideways, likewise every other fluid. plus all fluids will drain out the vents on it's side.

 

exhaust work is better done with the vehicle overhead, or up on jack stands sliding under on a creeper. likewise driveshafts, axle seals, etc.

 

floor pans would be better with it completely upside down, but frankly most of the work is done from the top anyways, so screw it.

 

 

 

 

this is a "neat" idea. but frankly, there is no reasonable use for it and therefor whatever they would sell it for is a poor use of money.

:agree: Kind of. Everything Pat said is true. However I do think there are some uses for it. Think major body work. No engine, no axles, no exhaust nothing but a stripped body and you're prepping it for some major body work. Stripping rust, getting primer, paint into every nook and cranny, etc. MPO.

You could build....and probably even buy a rotisserie for what those are likely to cost

Yes, I did. Maybe 20-25 years ago there was a article in one of the auto mags on a similar device. It was much simpler design, half round like a rocker and you could either remove the bumper and clamp it to the mounts or use clamps and clamp it to the bumper. It was home made and simpler design but still worked. I used it once on a CJ5 I was working on. From there it went to the corner of the shop, then outside, then cut apart and the tubing used for another project. That should tell you something right there.

I think this is a great idea for low to the ground cars that need lots of rust attention, not so much for Jeeps. But at almost a 1K quid, its a bit high.
