No more laying on my back to change the oil.

What a great setup but I wished you lived closer. I could be your new best friend.

What's something like that cost these days? Seems you're doing the install, yes? I had two lifts in my auto shop- now I've got none.:confused3:

While waiting in line at NAPA today I picked up their circular that was conveniently laid on the counter. They had two pages of lifts advertised. You can spend a little and you can spend A LOT on those things...then of course you need a building <sigh> Nice set up Dusty 3030!

Nice Lift, I am in the process of putting up some 4 post lifts in my new garage and house. I currently have a 4 post and a two post. The two post is so much better to work off of for anything that requires getting the tires up and off the ground. Also the clearance is perfect almost all the time with the entire bottom of the car being accessible. The only concern I have is with a two post is when I have a heavy truck, van or car up in the air. You don't see many 4 post lift failures and there is not any guess work in setting up the lift arms, you just drive on. If it fits you are in business. I still think at some point I will add another 2 post lift to the garage. I poured an extra 6-8" 4' wide by 16' in anticipation of putting one in.

Looks great! I put one in the shop I built at the old house about 14 years ago, and will have one in my new shop as soon as it's finished, won't have a shop without one now. I've more than paid for the lift in the old shop with stuff I've been able to do on my own vehicles and stuff I've done for a couple of friends.

Wish I had thought of putting a lift in years ago. I do most of my own work and have the room, oh well better late than never.

You really need a lift that big for the tractor in pics 4 and 5???

Great catch! I reckon we will give one a ride on it for sure.

Sweet. I've been threatening to get a lift for years, there were a lot of good used deals to be had when GM closed a bunch of stores around here but I just wasn't ready since I'm still renting my shop. When I build a shop, hopefully soon, I will definitely be including a lift. It makes everything so much easier.

I got an Atlas 10K lift 4 or 5 years ago. Makes just about everything easier and way way less frustrating.
Love it. Was about $2k for those curious.

I bought mine about 10 years ago. Its a 9000 lb. Challenger twin post. (Made in USA) I got tired of working under my vehicles in the middle of winter. That's usually when something always breaks down and your forced to lay on your back in the snow. It cost around $2800. at the time. I enjoy working out in the garage now.
