    Bendpak HD-7 vs HD-7W?

    I called Bendpak and the tech said that anything over a 110" wheelbase is fine up to spec weight restriction (anybody with a 7000 lb 911 needs to shave some weight....). I also discovered that the 7W ramps can be 'unpinned' and moved to a narrower setting so the answer is if you have the 'elbow...

    Bendpak HD-7 vs HD-7W?

    Had not heard about the lift cap limit at rail end and good comment on extra work space underneath. +1 for whatchyawentwith.

    Bendpak HD-7 vs HD-7W?

    Quick que for anybody who has experience with one or the other to be able to assist with a quick question on width accommodation. Generally storing smaller sedans on the lift but I want the capability to get my Tundra on the fixture for tinkering underneath. The HD-7 max drive thru width is...

    Outdoor led flood light, best option, best price

    I went thru a lighting debacle with the new garage and did some hunting...found eLEDlights.com and they happened to be local. I went down to their shop and walked out with new high bay lights. They had LED floods in their lineup as well. Here's a link.

    Finished with some lessons learned

    Took from May to Nov '16 to get the project complete but it's all done save for the Bendpak (over G'd the Benjamin Franklin tree so it has to replenish the fruit a bit). Got a bunch of great ideas from y'all and thought I'd share a few LL that may help the next poor soul who dives into the...

    Finalizing Plans- 16'x24'x13' tall...and another lift que

    The other garage was redone when I overhauled the new purchase of a home that hadn't been touched since Marsha and Greg Brady partied downstairs. It's now where the Mrs keeps her dd and weekender. She said it was her version of the mancave, but I told her that her version was called 'the...

    Finalizing Plans- 16'x24'x13' tall...and another lift que

    This thread is worthless without pix....so here's the finished project. Lessons Learned: 1. An 8' tall garage door with 5' of 'wall to climb' is a big deal. Not a $1200 garage door due to engineering that goes into the overhead spring assy. And when they installed it, they failed to...

    What jacks are you using with your 4 post lift?

    Guessing CA on the 76...come on...pick up a trip and get the jack! Great question, tho. Same boat here. Getting a Bendpak lift in the mancave and facing same dilemma. I like the idea of the tripod jacks but not the clutter from the extra gear. Still chewing on this one...

    Wall Lighting?

    The build is underway and the 18'x24' w/ 13' ceiling is beginning to come to life (well...plans are going to the city...). Thinking about 2 wall mounted LED lights on each side....4000k temp...to compliment the work efforts. Thoughts about light temp most conducive to detail work? Also going...

    New Build Shaping Up courtesy of SketchUp

    So I launched the architect on a 18x24 footprint and needed to get some design ideas solidified. Rolled in on SketchUp and found it incredibly user-friendly and the 3D feature didn't bog the laptop down whatsoever. Was able to import 3D models of a 4 post as well as the GT3 and E46 M3. Spent...

    Finalizing Plans- 16'x24'x13' tall...and another lift que

    Beauty feedback- just what I was hunting for. Your comment on the pad placement cages my gyro and brings back a haunting memory of a failed pad placement in a previous life. Gouged a rocker panel :-(
