Stealth floor jacks now? I really don't care how much noise it makes
when I move it, as long as it DOES move.

Don't think anyone's
going on 5 mile hikes towing a floor jack.

Depends on how far down the road you get when a universal joint
or a differential fail. :-) Past five miles, you get it towed or pay
someone else to fix it. At five miles, you *might* still want to do it
yourself after that walk. :-)

Enjoy,
