Do you have rafter vents?? IMO this is the only way to prevent the ice dams at the bottom of the roof, you must keep that warm air from getting to the roof itslef. Click Here -->> Rafter Vent Of course you need to vent the warm air out to keep the temp low.

Craigslist is where to look for box trailers. I have a 14 with. 7 foot ceiling. Weighs right at 2000 lbs. It's a dual axle and tows like a dream. Used mostly for motorcycles.

How about putting the legs up on 2 inch blocks?

If you do as suggested, you can get a few more inches of lift when lifting under the car. This will be a great improvement t when you are working under the car.

Yup, the QD's were the ones with the pin. New ones were just round balls. I "think" the springs were weka on some and as soon as the oil would flow, one of the balls would seat and jam the lift.

I had a similar problem with a new lift. Dammar sent new fittings, as the valves were screwed up somehow. No more problems....

Gabe is the man! He assited me when I was having issues and got me new fittings out ASAP. MJ is a good campany, and will help you out.

How about the big Harbor Fright 13 drawer tool box with a nice wood top??

I had this problem with mine and it was the couplings. They were original from MJ and ****. I called them and they sent ne ones that were of much better quality. Only way to get it down was to loosen the fittings at the pump and let the oil bleed into a pan.

Tkae the head off and get a machine shop to figure it out on a milling machine or with an EDM to disintegrate it out of the hole. Either way it looks like the hole will have to be helicoiled once the plug is out of the hole. You won't know what cased this until you get the head off. Maybe a...

We have the same set. 4 really and we cut one set down a bit to fit when the car is lower.
