This place looks awful familiar. By chance, did you have some sort of TBU gathering recently? Do any of these vehicles do burn outs? :)

I'm interested in the FP9K-DX-XLT. Any other issues, Rod?

I think it might have changed. I would need to call to verify. https://tuxedoautoequip.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FP9K-DX-XLT.pdf There's a good possibility we might not make it to your house after the cruise. If we leave RJ at home we'll want to head back home as soon as the event is...

Thanks Rod. Can you show me a picture if what you are describing for the lock release linkages? I want to make sure I'm looking at the same thing.

I missed out on the Direct Lift $700 rebate so we just punted for now. It appears the Tuxedo lift has the same specs with a cheaper price. It goes back to my question of do you spend the extra or same the extra. Like Viper98912 mentioned, I wonder if most of these lifts are made by the same...

I never thought to check Lowes. Price is cheaper, also. Thanks.

It would appear you are happy with your Tuxedo 9000. I've been looking at the same Tuxedo and a Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Plus. Very similar is specs but the Tuxedo is cheaper at $5,200 versus $6,500. I have found the Direct Lift as cheap as $5,900 but then shipping kills the deal with over $1k...

Anyone care to help me decide between the two lifts. Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Plus Cost: $6535 Rebate: $700 Shipping: $520 Install: $1,150 Total: $7,505 Tuxedo FP9K-DX-XLT Cost: $5,199 Rebate: $0 Shipping: $0 Install: $1,150 Total: $6,350 Difference: $1,155 Specs are very similar between the...

True. I just looked and BendPak and Dannmar both make a boxed version. I was looking about 2 years ago and didn't find much with that boxed design. I'll have to look at Advantage and compare. Thanks again.

No one has mentioned WildFire Lifts. They seem to have a different design for lifting. A boxed section over the posts. I don't believe I have seen this design on any other lift I have viewed. RaceCougar, does that Cougar have a hopped up 4 cylinder with a turbo in it? Looks fast.

Thank you. I figured something was different. Sure would be nice to just use the current spring and drum. That would bring down the cost. I was quoted from $700 - $1800 to do this work. This was from four different companies. One was $700 with two being $1000 and the other being $1800...

I'm having High Lift tracks installed on one of our garage doors. Just trying to educate myself some. What's being installed. Replacement spring (the one on a rod with pulleys on the end) Replacement pulleys New cables High Lift Tracks Is the replacement spring/pulleys needed because the...

Question about the symmetrical lift. Do you have to position the car exactly in the center of the posts? Or can you position the car where your door is just ahead of the posts so that the door opens fully? This would mean that your car is not centered 50/50 between the posts. Maybe that's...

I understand the different opinions but was hoping to see some comments like below: * The baseplate on X brand is 2 times bigger than Y brand. * Brand X uses a 3" pulley versus the 4.5" pulley on Brand Y. * Brand Y uses an S column design versus Brand Z with their C channel design. The S...

Is there a post somewhere that breaks down the companies on their 2 post lifts? Before I buy one I want to know the companies to buy from and the companies to stay away from. Something like: 9K 2 Post * Rotary * Mohawk * Bendpak * Challenger * Launch * AutoLift 10K 2 Post * Rotary * Mohawk...
