What are you using for a bar/spoon/pry bar to hook under the tire? do you have a pic? I catch a glimpse of a bar in some of the videos but do not get a good picture of the end.

There are tire size numbers on mine. It handles up to 17.5" tires. I think I need to rebuild/clean my air cylinder as it will fill with air but does not relase the air very fast at all. I lubed up the square shaft but then I wonder if I used too much. There is a plug on the bottom of the...

My neighbor gave me his yesterday after I did some seasonal work for him. I have been searching for instructions on how the machine works properly. I found these images on shopfloortalk dot com That really explain a lot on how to properly break the top and bottom beads. See the instructions in...

LiftMaster 8500. They are about 10 years old.

As far as I remember the range was good. But they were then intermittent and I went through a lot of batteries thinking it was the battery. Then they (2) did not work at all after about 18 months. I threw them in the trash. I believe replacement were north of $45. This was about 5 years ago and...

I put led in my jeep where the this is located, but they are not on while in use.

You're thinking outside the box! I believe I saw a yellow wire hanging down as the antenna from the drive motor/box on the wall.

If it is not as simple as "yeah, just solder a 3" copper wire here", then I am good with the current range, albeit short. I truly appreciate all of your replies. This is a great group to go to for answers.

Thanks for your help every one! A new ones (both factory transmitters failed early) were too expensive and the price point on these were such that I could order one for the 2 vehicles as well as the 4 wheeler. I think I will put in a new energizer battery and then be more thankful that I don't...

This may seem insignificant to you but I am not spending the $ they want for a new name brand one. This is an aftermarket opener for my Liftmaster. It has poor range but at least it will work as I am on the other side of the door. Can any of you identify the antenna on it? I am hoping I can add...

I'm not sure how you insulate the ceiling. It does not look to have venting down the center and up from the eves. Maybe you could put gable and roof vents in after the fact. Or do the spray on foam and end up having what is called a hot roof. Your county inspector would be a good source of...

Insulate, skin the inside, then run electrical conduit. I'd run lights down the center and 1 to 2 feet from each wall. Think of where you need the lighting when you have the car hood open.

I really don't have anything to add, but did you know every time you call a Jeep a car a baby bunny dies!! :(:(:(

I don't know what lift you have/are getting, but either the motor on one side or possible hydronic pump or maybe resivoure will require at least 8" of clearance. The exterior post to post width is probably 120" minimum. Download the install manual and see. Do you want to be doing break or wheel...

Get the exact outside dimensions and the exact dimensions it needs to be from the wall. You will find it will run into the other stalls. Probably by 2' or more. Many ppl in this situation put them in at an angle to accommodate the tight spots. If I were you I would eliminate the two doors at one...
