I would say you did a good job! Only thing I would do is to take the bolt out of the top of the lift. Unless you get a car perfectly ( and I mean perfectly ) balanced, the lift will flex frontward or backward when you lift the vehicle. I would worry about stressing your new truss. Just my...

My wife gave me one for Christmas 2 years ago. It has been a lifesaver because I have 2 herniated discs. I think she got it from Northern Tool. I use it all the time!

Re: 60x100x18 - My dream coming true in the PNW. What great shop! I really like the wood siding. I wish I had done something like that. Looking forward to seeing the progress. John

That is a very well thought out garage! Congratulations. John

I think #69 might be the most awesome garage I've seen.

Kevin54, First time I've seen the inside of your shop! Looks great. Nice job of putting that together! Now, could you come finish the inside of mine...please! John

K2, I had a buddy with those on his utv ranger. It did get get around good, but lost about half its speed and over half of the turning radius. It was still fun! The mog and a front end loader get around pretty good!:3gears: John

Thanks Don~ I'm pretty sure yours is bigger and way cooler! You need to get to work on your 31.......I'm leaving mine like it is. I did have the seat recovered a while back, but that was all it needed ( i think ) I need to post up some more pics of the changes I've done in the shop, but...

Wow! Great shop and what a collection! You had posted on my build quite a while back and I just now took the 2.5 hours to look through your build. You have come a lot further than me in the last 3 years! It has turned out really, really, really cool. It is great that you have done the...

Beautiful place! I am diggin the surburban and 2wd blazer.:drool::beer:

The pinzgauers are swiss military surplus. I got two from a buddy in Texas and one from a guy in Denver that was importing them. The unimog was purchased off E-bay. I'm going to sell the pinzgauers in a year or two. I'm tired of working on them.:wtf: I'm close to Kansas...........NE New...

Thanks! I would love to have a paint booth, but it would be wasted on me.....I don't have the patience to do it properly.:dunno: Plus, I've got a couple of friends that do paint and body work.:willy_nil john

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the complements! I haven't checked this post in quite a while.........too busy working in the shop!:D The only thing new shopwise is that I put up pallet racking for storage. I have been using the **** out of the lift. I wish I would have had one 20 years ago! Here...

Very Nice! It is a good feeling. Downside is that the wife will be mad for a while due to you spending too much time in the shop!

Funny how some are so envious of others that they put them down because of what they can afford. I saw nothing about the people who own the garages or what they do for a living. It is assumed they got it for nothing or with other peoples money. Corporations are bad, rich people are bad...
