Ordered these auto dolly's from Merrick, makes it easy moving the T around the garage. I could have gone with the cheapo's from other sources but these are heavy duty and made in the U.S.A. It's also nice to get something with free shipping.

Steve they have a cycle dolly, the web site www.theautodolly.com has a demo video using a BMW touring.

Richard I like those skates :lol:

I use them under rear wheels and find that the T steers sufficiently quickly to follow pretty much anywhere I want it to go. Since I don't move things sideways, and line up with rear ends against the wall, they work out well and I am not out the extra $$ to move 4 cars and it's less jacking. I leave the rear ends up for the winter and then roll them out in the spring.

I have a set of the Harbor Freight gray ones. Don't care for them at all. I also have a pair of GoJaks, they are awesome. One of these days I need to get another pair

Thanks Scott - I like those ! I have several sets - my oldest I purchased through Hemming's 30 years ago - made in the US but they're a tad wide but work excellent !

I have a set of the same, love them. On this last rebuild they were indispensable. Word of warning; my shop floor is level but my driveway is at a slight angle. I pushed the T out into the drive to make room to build the frame for my hack and the angle was enough to send the T into my neighbors yard. Took two of us to get it back to the garage. Lesson learned.

I have a set of theses. They are designed for you to drive on to them so you don't have to jack up the car to use them. Wish I could find another set! They don't make 'em like they used to
