Mine has the long threaded rod with a hand wheel on top for adjusting the "balance". This works really well. Mine also has the spring loaded pin that goes through holes in a circular plate every few degrees to hold it in any position. Both are really neat features you should look for if you can.


Jeff-

Yes, you have the copy cat brand. Whirly Jig is the one designed it and every other brand has copied their ideas. Threaded rod is to make the unit spin and keep balance. Whirly Jig was the first to design that feature.

Here is the list of features to look for in buying a Rotisserie.

I built mine, (man ego) I ordered two or three joints of 2x2 tubing, and some 3" I also went to harbor freight and bought 2 long range bottle jacks, they are probably 40 a piece or so, then casters, I used the old shackles to mount to, and made brackets for the front that mount to the subframe mounts under the cowl, I probably had 600 or so in it, It works great but here is the deal, do you want to spend a bunch of time welding up the rotissiere or working on your car I would say that I had probably 30 hours or so in it, If I was to do It again I may just order it, I think you can get one from summit that isn't painted, for around a 1000.00 or so, If you don't need to turn the body completly over I also built a body cart that mounts in the rear shock area and then has pins that go into the front body mount holes as well, It took about 3 hours to build, I think if you look at my build thread you can see some pics, good luck
