Well said!

I was more concerned about the slope and the lift being level. They make shims to level it, but since it is new construction, I have the option to go either way. Thank you for your input

You are one classy individual calling people names on the Internet..... I also said I would not use PVC but it sounded like someone previously stated they would and if you are going to do it incorrectly with brittle plastic, they might want to know the PSI specs. Talk about reading..... This is...

I was in the same boat as you and I kept breaking their new tools and wrenches as I traded them in for replacements. I just started buying Snap-On exclusively and "they" were right (All of the Snap-on users), they are expensive but the tolerances are better and they don't break. I feel your...

I hear this a lot when I tell people I bought a Mohawk used for $x,*** and it always seems they do not know what a Mohawk is or simply cannot afford one. In whatever case, as the guy who just sold me my second Mohawk said, who sells another leading name brand new, "It is a Chevy, Ford thing"...

I too am thinking of ventilating my garage and was wondering if anyone had ever tried or thought of ventilating it through a cupola on the roof? I am installing 2 cupola's with weather veins on my barn roof for nostalgic reasons, but I am thinking, why now hook up a fan to them. Any thoughts?

PVC would be a less expensive route for sure but with all of the connection points and joints and the fast that I am unsure it would hold as much PSI as the PEX, I am going to go the PEX route. This was a very helpful thread to read feedback on for my upcoming project. I found a very useful...

This is correct, I bought a Mohawk used off of a Challenger dealer last October and he told me Mohawk is the only lift made 100% in the USA with USA parts and components. He is a Challenger Dealer and told me that Challenger is "Chinese Junk"........ his words specifically. He said there were...

Helluva deal! Gotta love flea market finds

I hope you really like it. I just missed out on one because I was out of town and the guys son sold it when he was at work for $900 and you could use it before you bought it! Would be nice to have one symmetrical and one asymmetrical

They would go for around $150, but as stated above, because of the large size, you might sit on them for a bit until they sell. Good luck getting them

Do you anticipate a problem with the lift installation on a floor that is unlevel? That is the only thing that worries me but I get the trough drain idea. Most of the time, if there is a car in there, it will not have just been driven out of the snow and rain, very rarely anyway, so that does...

I agree. When I bought my system II, the installer/Uninstaller took a picture of his 9000b ford van full of tools up on the lift and said it didn't even flinch lifting it! Yours being asymmetrical puts more stress on the rear arm, which would weaken the lifting points, however, you are right...

I am glad to hear you love your lift. I just bought a 2 year old Mohawk System 1, 10k lift this past weekend and the newer lift actually has a extra piece of metal welded into it so assist in additional vertical support (this is what the local distributor told me anyway). Either way, you...

Glad to hear all of the responses fellows, this is greatly helpful. As per the code, when I got my permit for zoning, the lady told me that where I live is on the "Honors System", meaning, just don't get crazy with the placement of the barn and no harm no foul, so the drain issue with the...
