Anyone in Sac area with fender rolling tool?

I have recently upgraded to a slightly wider racing tire than what I have on the car now and it's probably going to be time to roll my rear fenders, might as well do the fronts as well. I'd rather do that than raise the car in the back, which would take weight on the back and upset the balance of the car, plus raise the center of gravity. Is there anyone in the Sac area with a fender rolling tool available for loan/rent? I might buy one just for giggles, but at $250 on Eastwood's catalog I'd rather use that money elsewhere.

honestly, baseball bat + hair dryer.

Unless you need a big roll (aka get flares or wide body) that's all you need.

metal pipe and a rag or grease works best...get think steel so you can put lots of downwards presure when you roll to get it as smooth as possible.......tuck that tire!!!!

Opps, didn't see this thread until after I posted in the other one. I've got the Eastwood tool.
