Perhaps, but then the "Tow Toad" probably has a boxed frame chassis. It's what conventional jack stands were designed to fit. It's also the reason conventional jack stands are less than ideal for Porsches and other unibody vehicles - no boxed frame rail.

I'm glad you like the JPJS's.

However, not so much stuff for road racers/Porsches. Only saw a single 997.

There was a cool product for those who tow their enclosed trailer with a Cayenne. I know that's for a different thread, but here's the link anyway. I know folks with Cayennes scream about not being able to see around the trailer. This might help.

Here's an image. I'm told this will work on the new Cayenne mirror. Ordered a set today.

Hope those mirrors work as I could never get a set to work correctly on our '04 S. Had one set that vibrated off after less than 2 miles- sort of gave up after that, and usually had another guy we raced with follow behind us as our personal "rear view mirrors."
No problems now with the toe package on our F-150...

Hello jpoint.
Excellent stands.
I'd like a pair for general DIY on my 993. Lowish standard euro height (ie Nothing extreme like gt2, gt3).

Do not have to be shiny, just cost affective to get the job done.
Do you have a uk distributor.

Cheers.

We don't have a distributor in the UK, but we'll try to take care of you.

A buddy who saw mine wanted a set and was told they got in a backorder status just after Christmas. He just got some Jackpoint, but they still show out of stock on the Jackpoint web store. Jpoint said they're getting all the backorders filled and stands are coming from the foundry again. I'd check with him if you're still looking.

Just an update. We are investigating arrangements for shipping to the UK and Europe and having the duty, etc. handled. No final word yet, but we haven't forgotten you.
