Very nice! Mine is very similar and I love it. I have not used a floor jack since.

[tan top]

  yeah !  had one put in at work a while ago !!  if i had a higher roof with garage at home , would have one there as well 

[41husk]

I use the one at school every once in a while.  I even use it for detailing when I have access.  I would have one at home in a heart beat if I had the clearance

[bobs66440]

Very Nice!! I'm jealous!!    Someday maybe....

Mr Husk & Mr Tan Top,
I only have a 10 foot ceiling in my garage. I just put the uprights up through the rafters.

Man, I'd love to have a lift. Creepers, floor jacks and my old carcass becomes more unpleasant everyday.

yea i guess i am fortunate enough to have a flat roof ...my ceiling height is 10ft6in...i think(hope) i will be able to lift the dodge to walk under height lol..if not that old computer chair will come in handy!     


there is a company that makes a scissor type lift and a portable type lift called maxjax? they look to be a good and affordable product..for extra low ceilings...later

[rattlehead_74]

ok..the flight schedule got delayed due to some flash flooding early in the week...but it all cleared up and we got it poured and finished today!

the first pic shows the flood damage
