Definitely wouldn't re-drill unless you have to.

I live in Austin, and have been looking at Tennessee... I assume you found a place where you can put the lift? I haven't had much luck finding anywhere that has the room. If it were me I'd take it with unless the new spot can't take the dimensions of your lift. Also install isn't terrible if...

I like the videos that actually show them working on stuff. Not the ones that they talk about doing something and then the next cut is the thing is fixed. Ummm ok.

I bought this one after Project Farm recommended it. I mostly have used it for sheet metal welding. But I also used it to weld a stud into place. I'm a beginner welder and it worked great for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6HL28ZP?tag=atomicindus08-20

I had an issue once where a friend brought over his BMW M3. It was the same there were specific points and they didn't line up perfectly. We wound up backing it in instead of forward and that fixed it for the lift I have... I'm not sure why exactly? But that worked. You could try backing in?

Mine nearly pulled my finger off a long time ago. Then I lost it in the sea... never replaced it. Wife doesn't mind and it's been 30 years

Seam sealer is a great idea.

How expensive is the fender liner? And why is there a hole to begin with? I would determine the "why" of the hole... fix that, then find a good used liner or just buy a new one. That's just me though :)

I have the polyurea floor, did it myself, don't regret it at all. But yes, you will get "spots" on the floor from weld slag... around my welding table has little black dots all around. Even if you use a welding blanket you'll get them. Does it bother me? Heck no... that's one small area of my...

I got this kit because I wanted a custom size. Looks like they might not make them anymore? But maybe you can find something similar, if you want a custom size. https://www.amazon.com/2x4basics-90164-Custom-Shelving-Storage/dp/B0030T1BRE?tag=atomicindus08-20

As other's have written, check the dimensions on whatever lift you want. They're all different. You'll also need to calculate how high your ceiling is vs. your car. If you have a bigger (taller) car then you need to account for that and might not get a full lift out of it. The MaxJax is a...

I have a couple rubber pads, but I basically just stand clear. Anything heavy-duty enough to need a press isn't going to break by falling a couple feet to the ground.

Bendpak specifically states to not use an impact. You are using their anchors so I would recommend following their instructions. I looked up the MaxJax manual and it also specifically states to not use an impact...

I'm pretty sure this is the exact same concept with the concrete. I'm not an engineer so I can't say for certain... which is why each manufacturer has specific rules regarding the installation of their lift. People can die because someone decided to take a short cut. I installed the maxjax...

Just because you do it doesn't mean that is what the manufacturer calls for, OR that it's safe. The "professional" that put my lift in tried to do it too. But I stopped him. Pointed to the part in the manual the specifically states to NOT use an impact gun. Then I wound up having to re-do...
