Lista Single Bay, small enough to hold common tools but strong enough to hold the front suspension and move around easily at the same time. Awesome Awesome box. They make them in my town so I helped load it right at the factory

My first go to place was a Sears Hardware Store franchise near me until tonight. I was considering a Craftsman impulse buy and when I looked closer I noticed it was already seriously rusting. When I let the sales rep know he saw the rust and handed it to me like I wanted to buy it. I...

Wow, the decision is clear. Thanks everybody Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

budget is under $100 and looking for quality for occasional use. Ive survived with my arm so far but have to replace a couple bushings in place in my near future and I wont have a great angle or a lot of travel. thanks for all the answers so far but Im thinking somebodys old beat up Snap On...

Can anyone help me identity this vendor? I need some air tools and trying to decide if this is worth it or not thank you

zkdiesel, yes you would think. But the single bay is narrow so front lift arms are as close as possible and need to be fully collapsed. Then front lift points need to be centered and at furthest point forward the lift arms can reach (exactly right spot). Sometimes I need to roll car once or...

YEAH! like that. thanks Sublimate! BTW on the engine drop, I lowered the car, unbolted engine in a homemade reinforced plywood cradle, then raised the car. opposite when i got it back in. I agree any weight shift on a lift is a very bad thing. thanks again for the Mohawk link! Sent from...

I have a 2 post lift because I got a great deal on a used, older American made lift and it's great to do work on the car. I knew when I bought it I needed to drop the engine over the winter and I knew the inside width of the ramps of a 4 post would not fit. I also store the convertible over...

Engine drop onto my ghetto engine stand to fix the air coming in (intake gaskets), air going out, air going back in again (turbocharger to intercooler). oil going in (from tank), going out (to oil separator) and going back in again (from external oil cooler) and hoses, springs, gaskets...

I like those hose reels. Been thinking of mounting my somewhat portable compressor because I'm out of floor space and this would be a great side benefit. Thanks for the inspiration!

SaabGuy, I have the same exact lift and am not too far away from you (near Framingham). Did you buy it from Glenn? When I bought it he had two of them, same color and I think you got the other one.

thanks Bruce, I called forward and they were able to email me the correct manual, great customer service. thanks for sharing about your lift, what a great deal, glad its trouble free for you:beer:

I'm looking at a used Forward lift DP07A, 2 post, 7000 lbs. 220, one of the old ones made in USA and it is ALI certified. I am sure some will comment it is great and solid with a super crew on it, others that it wobbles with a VW bug on it, but what I really want to know are there any gotchas...
