    That's a crazy good deal. I bought my Sunjoe in 2018. Still going strong using a few times a month for 3 cars, 6 motos, and a trailer.

    Glad I ordered it when I did. It was 76 bucks when I pulled the trigger and it's now back up to 137.
    I had a 45ish dollar Amazon credit for a returned item, so I only shelled out 30-something which made it even sweeter.

    Arrived yesterday, assembled today... haven't tried it out yet but it feels better quality than the junk one I have in the garage. Bonus, the pressure hoses are interchangeable between the two so if one pump dies mid-job I can just plug the hose into the other one.

    Well, this one would easily handle the weight of the Grom and it's 100 bucks cheaper, but the gaps for the wheels would make it awkward w/ the small tire diameter of the Grom.

    I put my SV on one of those many times in the past 10 years or so, but it's kinda sketch. Actually had to repair it after I put an EX500 on it and the mount started to fail causing the bike to list about 45 degrees Works fine now, though.

    Ultimately, this is a long way of saying that I'd prob go w/ the one you posted.

    yea, the cheap model looks poorly built and sketches me out. this one looks more solid. plus i'd be using it for trips up and down the coast. my first plan would be to take it to Daytona in march, as i'll be helping pit crew for a 200 rider.

    I can fit my K-Pipe in the bed of my Silverado with the tailgate up, I just wouldn't put that much tongue weight on a hitch unless I had a 3/4 ton

    I have one similar to this, though neither of the HF ones specifically, and what Pete said is accurate - for a shorter-wheelbase cycle, the gaps (adjustable or fixed) don't line up great. It worked fine for a 100cc dirt bike transported about five hours; I'm not sure how much more a Grom weighs, though.

    I think he's trying to avoid using a trailer to make the drive easier and cheaper.

    not worth the fuel costs when i'm only going to pit crew for someone doing the 200.
    also, i'd like to take the Grom home in the summer when my trailer is stored in the south between race weekends.

    least amount of parts/best way to haul is a removable wheel chock in the bed and a ramp.

    I have the Black Widow hitch hauler (which looks very similar) and adjusted the chock to fit my Z125. If you want pics let me know, I hauled it a few times no problems. I love my hitch rack when solo bike hauling, probably have 20k+ miles of use on it across dozens of bikes over the years.

    Anyone have long term experience with one of their compressors ml? Thinking about upgrading to something with a larger storage tank and quieter operation.

    I have the 72x22 us general and I love it. The ball bearing slides are nice, the latches work well, and everything has held up for years.

    When I was racing I bought their older product and it sucked. The box was so thin that the metal underneath the caster collapsed under the weight of loading it into my enclosed trailer. Their toolboxes have improved 10 fold since then!

    Def agree with smutty. The US General boxes are pretty stout. Worked great for homeowner/ shade tree mechanic stuff.

    Re: Harbor Freight tools that DON'T suck

    The 44” is on sale now.
    Have you guys seen the 72” ever on sale?

    Big advantage on the 72” over the 54” ?
