Like I said, the video was just an example of what I was explaining. Again, it's a moot point because I'm not doing it.

that video was just an example, out of curiosity how it would work. And my compressor head is a 1/4NPT fitting with 3/8 tube so it's a moot point. :) I found the fittings I needed at a local hydraulic shop so I'm just going to stick with the hayden cooler I already bought.

Gotcha. That's actually what I have now. Compressor head to cooler, cooler to water seperator/filter, then to tank.

Good point. I didn't think about water collecting in the bottoms of the loops...

So after 7 years my compressor aftercooler sprung a leak. It worked very well. It was just a thick stacked plate cooler that was only maybe 5x10 with a couple screamer computer fans on it. I don't know what it was even from, so I'm going with a new design this time around and mounting it to...

I'm going to use the retrofit tubes I have but any future tubes I buy I'll go direct wire. As an electrician, what's your take on how some manufactures call for a fuse inside the fixture when direct wiring?

So that answers that. If the ballast itself is only pulling a watt or two, I might as well just use the retrofit bulbs I already have and any future bulbs I buy go direct wire. I know it's another failure point but in reality I spend maybe 2-3 hours in there a month.

Looking at retrofitting my T8's in the garage. I already have a bunch of retrofit bulbs where you leave the ballast in but never installed them yet. (I have a hard time pulling perfectly good tubes). How much power does the ballast pull when driving a LED tube vs direct wire bulbs? Is...

Well that said the original guy just called to give me a price. $5,800. I about fell over. I told him that's out of the question. Got another shop coming out to take a look and give me a quote. The door is a Haas door.

I like that. How did you attach the hitch receivers to the cross arm?

That's what I figure. Where did you get the extensions, or make them yourself? I'd like to get 2-3 feet of more lift. More so when the door is open, less of it is hanging out in to the garage. I'll probably be fine with my lift, as long as I keep it far forward in the garage as I...

I went thru this way back when I had the garage built 8 years ago. 12 ft ceilings, 16x8 garage door. I'm finally pulling the trigger on buying a lift. And while the door won't be in the way too bad, I'd prefer better clearance. I only got one company to come take a look, but they're really...

Also don't know how far you are from Hanover, PA (Other side of the state from me) but that's were Advantage is located.

I saw it side by side with a Atlas lift that was a few years older. They are virtually identical. The only obvious difference is the paint/powder coat on them. They seemed flimsy compared to the wildfire I saw in person. Just pushing on a post with the car on it made it wobble a bit...

I just ordered the 9k XLT as I was in the same boat. I wanted the height but not the extra width/length. It's going to be a little cramped in the garage with the lift, but I think it's a price to pay to not be laying under cars anymore.
