I didn’t buy any extra accessories. It came with spacers to adjust the pad heights for different cars/trucks. So far it has worked well with all of our vehicles (restored GM A and F bodies from 60s and 70s, super low suspension pro touring car, 2018 Camaro ZL1, Tacoma, Pilot, CRV, etc). The...

I was all set to buy a Rotary but the dealer (who sells, installs and services Rotary, Revolution and Direct) told me that for my purposes the Revolution would be more than sufficient. I’ve been using it once a week or so for the past two years and no issues.

The electrician hooked me up last Friday, so I'm good to go. It is so nice to be able to work on a car off the ground. So much easier! Next up on my shopping list are some wall cabinets, engine hoist, under lift jack stand, transmission jack, and oil drain can.

Install went smoothly. I went with the widest setting. I have about 8' from the front of the car to the workbench on the back wall of the garage, about 8' from the back of the car to the garage door, and just over 4' between the near post and the wall. Plenty of room to park in the space next to...

Thanks. I have enough room to go 18’ to the back wall of the garage. That will leave me 15’ or so to the garage door. Doing the install tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback on the width. I am also wondering how much room I should leave myself to pull car engines with a cherry picker. Would 15’ from the center of the post be enough? With my 67 GTO I suspect that would leave me with 7’.

I'm installing a Revolution RTP10 two post lift in my garage and I need some advice about positioning it. The instructions say I can set it up with drive through clearance of 99" or optional 105". Space isn't an issue, but wondering if there are any disadvantages to setting it up at the largest...

Thank goodness I'm a new member and it won't take me too long to rebuild...just have to figure out the best approach.

The change in PB's policy was a big surprise. I guess I'll be doing some experimenting...j

We're all moved in. We still have boxes all over the place, but it's nice to be settled in one place. It felt so good to drive around town and close down all our storage units. We still have subs coming almost every day to take care of loose ends. Today we had AV people here. Pool company...

There are three zones on the field, I think right now they're set for 40 minutes each, three times a day. I'll probably cut out one of the waterings next week. Looked on CL for a mower...not a huge selection. We started to move things over the last couple days and are now sleeping here...

It's a hybrid Bermuda called Midiron. It's popular here because it's drought tolerant, durable, and low maintenance. Was told it's used in parks and schools because of these qualities. Was considering Tifway 419 because I like the color and thicker thatch--used on golf fairways, but Midiron...

Things are moving along. Three things I've learned this week. 1. 36' does not look very deep with a 17' car 2. Sound system does not sound very good in what amounts to a giant echo chamber. 3. I have a lot to think about with respect to storage options. The Goat's new home. Had the sod...

My Pontiac addiction can be traced to my dad as well. Though his car wasn't nearly as cool as a '69 Firebird... a 326 powered 66 Tempest station wagon. Here's a '70 TA I sold a few months ago, right after the auctions here in town...I was in my driveway with the car and a guy drives by in a...

Funny you mention neighbors. A couple neighbors complained about our floodlights so we ended up removing all 7 of them. There's a night sky ordinance here, and although technically OK with the city because the lens' were not exposed and they were pointing down, subs would leave them on at...
