    Anyway, I bought a jack like these on Ebay for like $90 or something. They're inexpensive but they're actually pretty nice. I don't think you need to spend $300 on a jack:

    Can you find the specific one you have, and also, if you have time, measure what diameter jack pad it's designed to use please? I'd rather get my jack now than wait until I need it.

    My votes:

    - I have no problem with a 3" base
    - I don't need etching

    I got an aluminum low profile jack from Costco. <$100, and lifetime (Costco) warranty if the seal blows. The pad size doesn't matter (although I think it's 4") since there is no metal flange at the rim of the pad; the rubber pad is higher than any of the surrounding metal.

    Nice to see another Trevor here. And also with a Suzuka RS; what are the odds???

    I'm fine without the etching, and ok with a 3" base.

    This is the actual one I bought. Liftmaster TT6913. As you can see, I bought it on German Ebay so I don't know if you can get it in the States. Either way, they all look identical and I'm pretty sure they're just all made in China by the same company and then sold by different importers at different prices. I'm pretty sure the $300 jacks are the same as the $100 jacks.

    Either way, this one is TÜV approved which is a very rigorous German safety certification process.

    Nice! Thank you Jeremy.
    I'll be shopping for one this weekend, both in stores and online.

    No response yet with respect to reducing the diameter but I'll follow up tomorrow. I wanted to get this going since I'll be out of town for good chunk of this week and assume all wish to proceed whether it be the original and proven 4" size or a slightly smaller diameter. Sorry guys but no etching this time around.

    Price per jack pad: $35.

    Shipping: $25. for 1 pad and $30. for 2 pads (tracking and insurance included)

    Paypal Payment to stevelev77@gmail.com

    For those requiring shipments outside of North America, email me with your complete address and number of pads desired prior to payment so I can work out specific shipping costs.

    Payment deadline: Sunday, January 29th. This allows adequate time for payment and more importantly having the pads produced, shipped and received prior to March 1st.

    A minimum pre-paid order of 25 jack pads will be required and sorry, no refunds once I place the order.

    Examples for mathematically challenged:

    1 pad - $60. incl shipping
    2 pads- $100. incl. shipping

Sorry guys but no etching this time around.

    Price per jack pad: $35.

    Shipping: $25. for 1 pad and $30. for 2 pads (tracking and insurance included)

    Paypal Payment to stevelev77@gmail.com

    For those requiring shipments outside of North America, email me with your complete address and number of pads desired prior to payment so I can work out specific shipping costs.

    Payment deadline: Sunday, January 29th. This allows adequate time for payment and more importantly having the pads produced, shipped and received prior to March 1st.

    A minimum pre-paid order of 25 jack pads will be required and sorry, no refunds once I place the order.

    Examples for mathematically challenged:

    1 pad - $60. incl shipping
    2 pads- $100. incl. shipping
    Payment sent for one. Thank you.
