Revival of the Subframe Tool Rental - Back In Black!

[Ricky Bobby]

*******UPDATE******* - My friend TwinTurboGTR is now renting the tool as I traded it to him for some parts last year, PM him or me for his email address and he will handle rentals directly, thanks!

OK Folks the Tool Rental is officially back on, thanks to member davintosh for the original inspiration from last year:

These were the rules from davintosh's thread from last year which you can review:

1. The rental fee is $60 for 8 days of use. If you need to keep it for more than that it's $10 for each subsequent day until the tool is returned.
2. The clock starts the day you receive the package and stops the day you ship it back & send me a tracking number.
3. Before I ship the tool to you, I ask that you send a deposit payment to me via PayPal of $220, as gift for friends/family only, I don't do PayPal fees.
4. I'll send it out via USPS Priority Mail (insured, with delivery confirmation) at my cost at my earliest convenience; I'll shoot for the same day, but sometimes life gets in the way.
5. Once you receive it, you use it and care for it as if it were your own; when you're done, you clean it up, put it back in the provided packaging, and return the kit by the same method (you'll need to get a fresh box Priority Mail box from the Post Office for the return trip; they're free.)
6. When I receive the tool and verify its condition, I refund your deposit minus the rental fee.
7. For now, rental is limited to members residing in the US lower 48 states only. If there is interest outside of that we can discuss shipment but all costs would be on your end.

THIS TOOL IS NOT TO BE USED WITH ANY AIR TOOLS. Please either go to the gym if you can't turn the wrench, or get a buddy to help, air tools will destroy this tool and the privilege for the Xoutpost members.

As well, just an FYI, current best pricing on replacement bushings is $34.95 apiece (you need 4) for Meyle HD which is solid rubber (not fluid filled) and free shipping from FCP Euro:

BMW Axle Support Bushing Rear (X5) - Meyle HD 33316770454 | FCP Euro

If you need the tool please post up or PM me with an approximate date needed, it will be first come first serve, hope this is beneficial to members here, as we all will have to do these bushings once over the course of our X5's life, and many of us are due at the age of the vehicles and age of the original bushings.
