OK, so you can buy a $250 hydraulic that weights 100 pounds and put THAT in your trunk. Am I missing something? Is there one available? I just saw one on Walmart that has a minimum height of 4 inches. I guess that would work if you first drove up on a couple of 2X12's. Whadda ya think gang?
I think, why do you need a jack in your trunk? Sounds like useless dead weight.
