    Default exhaust pipe air jack? wtf?

    Seems like a pretty damn brilliant idea to me... it works in snow, mud, tall grass, uneven ground, all the places a regular jack is a nightmare. I wonder if it has any effects on your engine, though, what with all the backpressure... Cool as hell idea though... no more worrying about jacks fitting under lowered cars...

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    These have been around for a while in the Off Road community. It operates off a bypass valve and/or ventilated compression system to avoid back pressure issues. These things are a godsend when you're out in the boonies and your HI-LIFT won't fit between you and the rock you just dismounted your tire on.

    I did read that these are warranted pretty heavily so that you'll only have to buy one per lifetime.

    That's my $0.02.
    This isn't the worst summer I've had around Savannah.
    Parris Island '01 - now that was one hell of a summer.
