Testing to see if I have the “sent” thing turned off. Just found your post on this and hope I have better luck searching for a specific topic. Yep, that works.

Oops, I need to send a PM. Almost zero for mechanics tools at this time (except hand tools) probably crazy to even ask since I'm back in Afghanistan but I've been wanting to get the following: BendPak 4-Post Lift HD-14TL HD-9 (the dream is to get 2 of these and store wood tools on top with a...

Thanks! Ya the extra cost of the BP will sure put a dent in my plans. Need to find out if the lift needs to me plumbed to air all the time to keep sthe locks engaged. Can't imagine that being the case though. I don't have 220 run to my shop yet and will need to rent a generator to lift it before...

Thanks gents. Looks like my best plan is one BendPak HD-14TL and three Direct lift Pro 8 plus. Checking with Best Buy Auto Equipment since they have Bendpak and Direct Lift. I need something tall enough to clear the top of my truck so I can store something lighter above it. Better to have...

Jeff, PM sent.

Thanks for the quick reply GTO. I am also considering the Pro Park 9+. I'm note exactly sure what the truck weighs but guessing at close to 8k. With the diesel engine I'm not sure what front end weight would be and how it's biased out from front to rear. I probably won't bolt it down just yet if...

Gonna bump this 2 month dead thread. Seems like Direct Lift is the way to go but I am considering Atlas. With wanting 4 lifts I need to figure all options. All will be mainly for storage options while I'm working in Iraq but once I finish then projects will begin. Shop size is 32X48 and then a...

Looking good! Since my pole barn is going to needa rewire job, I think the Veno plan will be my method. My roof is white do I might not use the reflectors. Hmm, I might have it spray foamed though and not sure what color they have...hoping white is the norm and not the yellow I've seen in the...

Great info even if I can't see the photo's. Any chance of you sending them to me in a PM or posting them directly without photobucket or another server based location. (not sure where you have them stored but lots of folks use photobucket) They block us from seeing anything saved on pic servers...

Glad to hear that the Winchester Is still up and now much better. Historical value I'll bet. I'll have to check it out when I'm in the area. Yes it is a small world at times. Thank you for the well wishes on being in Iraq and I appreciate that the majority of Americans support what we're doing...

So the opener must be relocated close to the ceiling and not remain where it's at. Just a little more time I reckon. Are these parts available in common areas (Lowes...Home Depot) or special order from door companies? I might consider having a shop install this mod but I'm used to doing stuff...

Thanks for the link to your garage, Very cool.

Not sure how current this thread is but I had to comment on the Winchester house and then back to reading the rest of this awesome build. Winchester House...man that like brings back memories to uhhh 1964 maybe 1965. Lived in Cambpell around that time...might have even been 1963, as we lived...

Mike, this is an area I am also considering. Maybe this will bump your post to the top again so others will answer.

Edit: Not sure why the rest of this thread didn't show up before I posted but I went back to check and there was a whole bunch more info. I'll probably wind up editing this again but for now, why would I need to change pulleys? If extra cable is needed and a wider pulley is needed to hold that...
