Advice needed.
Am seriously considering scrapping my run-flats for non run-flats. I already have a small portable tire inflater, and am going to get a tire plug kit soon, but my question is this: What kind of car jack should I look for? I have the pucks that fit under the car and would need a jack that would fit under them when they are in place...right?
Thanks
Mike

There's a Mercedes Benz low profile jack that some members have gone with. CF Member C5Frederick sourced them in Germany I think. You may get one from a local MB Dealer.

Given your unique aproach to running your car on railroad tracks, I really think that outside "Shay"-type gearing would be something to consider, you'd just have to hop over it to get in the car !
