Anyone have any experience with casters to move Viper around in garage?

[46hemi]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any products. I would think the challenge is to find one that would accomodate the wide wheels on the Viper. Dont think clearance would be an issue but I am unsure. I see the guys in my garage use them and they seem to work great for moving the car around.

Here is a link for a similar product but for smaller tires:

I tried using the search function but came up empty.

Why not just use 2 rolling jacks? Or even one moving one end at a time? Bruce

As long as you can find some to fit the wide, wide wheels, they work well, a small push and your snake is slidng to where ever you want it with ease!

mrmenuck,

Have you used the Gojack brand? I like the idea of having the jack built in so I dont have to jack up the car first at each wheel then slide the dolly under. I would just think having them both together would be really convienient. At 200 bucks for 2 I would like to be sure they work on a Viper.

Use GO-Jacks all the time, the biggest size does not quite fit the 335 rears so if you use them be very carefull as the pin on the lifting gear can touch the wheel rims and leave a little mark.

Uits are very well made and roll very well but do take quite a lot to lift a Viper off teh deck.

Happy Rollering

They work but you're gonna have to throw your butt into it to get it rolling.

So we can gauge whether these are going to work, relatively speaking...how big is your butt? Would you say you have like a "lard a$$"...is it normal size...or would you say you have not butt at all???

Just trying to put things in perspective...

I consider my butt to be a "normal" size 265lbs.

The Snake Oyl ones are great. I think Gerald has the link above? Once you deal with Cory you will be a customer of his for life. Great company with fantastic service and products.

Funny you should ask. These skates are awesome (and far less expensive than GO-jack). I ordered some from Chuck Adams on ebay. They arrived in a week. They are top quality. I haven't put them on yet but I will and then I'll post results and pics. Ultimate Magnum Car Dollies

Here are some pics of one installed on the right rear.
I like them. They don't "cradle" the tire as much as I would like but they sure are built well. What do you guys think?
