Yup, Slimer will let you have his for £25.
Will JUST get a wheel off the ground on good surface. One of our gulf-state members has one and has used it in sand ok, where he can dig out easily to give a little more clearance when removing the wheel, but for offroad use it hasn't got the lift height (and is marginal on tarmac, we're talking marginal enough that sometimes your car suspension will go higher than the jack.) I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

As NoDo$h says, it's not high enough. Also, you can buy them for £38 inc. vat. So I'm not surprised they'd be up for a deal  .
But importantly, although the Draper is not suitable for D3 use, there is no reason to be believe that it's not fit for purpose for cars. This makes me think that TITAN is perhaps not so absurdly cheap & as such "rubbish", as I initially thought when I first saw the website.
I couldn't find any other USA sites selling air jacks, but I didn't try that hard!

Hi
I have had a reply to my first e mail to the company selling/making the Titan air jack. They are happy to supply to England and have given me the following info.
3 ton jack price is $67.00 for a purchase of ten or more.The carraige cost would be $40-45 each unit. If we were looking to do a group buy of 50 or more they would reduce the unit cost by 25%.
Now by my reconing at the current US dollar rate if we got together and did a group buy of 50 plus they would work out around £60.00 each including carraige, may well be able to get the carriage price down further if we do do a group buy. If we go ahead with this and se up a group but I would suggets that we should also include an additional charge into this price by means of a donation to the site. Any thoughts or questions you want to put to the man in the USA.
One last point, I have no connection with the company what so ever and am only trying to see if we can get a good deal for those intrested on this site.

Russell - I think you will be hard pressed to arrange a group buy for 50 units...maybe 10...? The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...
