As the originator of this thread, I am still stunned that even after 8 years this thread is still going. Even more stunning is that I still do not have my own lift to modify:(. I was withing striking distance of the $3300 that the model of advance lift cost a few years ago and then the price...

I would definitely like to see this. You should snap a few pics and add them here. This whole thread is like a gold mine of great ideas.

Funny thing is, I am the original starter of this thread and do not even have one yet. Every time that I am in a position to get one, something comes up preventing it. At least I can enjoy seeing other mods by everyone else and keep dreaming.

It is crazy how long this thread has stayed alive!

My reverse pressure bleeder can also be used as a pressure bleeder but I have no issues at all with reverse pressure bleeding. It works out very nicely. You just have to be sure to cover the master cylinder in case you get any spray out due to air. I have in fact done pressure bleeding with...

I did just that yesterday for the oil change. I built my own reverse pressure bleeder. I attach the bleeder at the wheel and pump fluid up to the master cylinder. I also have built a pressure bleeder that allows me to push the fluid down to the wheel locations. Between the two, I have a...

Well, I threw a bit of a wrench into my plan...in a good way though. I dreamed of it, I saw it and I executed a quick purchase of what will be my daily driver for some time. I am going to LS swap it once I find a dropout motor/trans/ecm combination and then I will drive it every day. I got rid...

And there you have it. The double wide 4 post is on backorder until like May/June.....This is why I need to pull that trigger now! Damnit!! https://www.advantagelifts.com/products/advantage-sxs-10-000

Bingo. House note and 2 phones is my only debt. I am not concerned with investing in myself with the plan to pay it all off within the 5 year warranty period of the equipment. I bet I will have it paid off within 2 years max. The alternate is to keep saving while everything becomes less and...

That is why I want to get this done now. I would rather have my equipment now to give alternate avenues to make a living rather than buy later. I wish I had just taken this step last year or the year before. The cost was half the price and I would be chugging away at building sellable goods in...

This is the one that I want badly. This company has tons of great feedback on their products. You can see their dimensions on the page. I may in fact be forced to downgrade though. The gap bed removal ability is a big draw for me. https://www.precisionmatthews.com/shop/pm-1340gt/

You should see all the stuff that I have crammed into my basement! I am embarrassed to post a photo. Every inch of it has tools. While I doo have items that should be thrown out, the vast majority is actual tools and valuable materials for the projects that I do.

I will never make another concession. The home I used to live in had adequate garage space (Big 3 car). The house I wanted had a big 3 car with tall ceilings and tall doors plus a nice set of regular sized stairs into the basement too. I wanted that sucker but the wife did not want to put the...

Holy ****!!! I would be so thrilled to have that much width in my garage or the depth. I would also be thrilled to own that mill or that Vette or that blue bendpak. (y)

I have in fact considered a 2 post. Quite frankly I was very close to buying a Triumph C7000 from Ted. Hell I may still do that. After drilling the floor in my garage I confirmed that I have the required concrete. Then I started looking at the fact that I will need to raise the ceiling height...
