    Radio antenna question

    I just fixed this issue today, leds killed FM reception. I bought a 12" magnet mount antenna on Amazon and stuck it to outside overhead door trim. Used Rg59 coax to extend. Cleaned up about 90% of interference. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    YOUR delivery on a 2 post lift and suggestions for mine

    Picked mine up from terminal and they set it on flatbread trailer. I pulled mine off flatbed trailer with engine hoist on one end and tractor bucket at other end. I then set it on a couple 4 wheel dollies to move around the shop. Unpacked the parts are easily manageable. Sent from my XT1254...

    Sandblast Cabinet Gun & Foot Pedal Recommendation?

    I went a different route and used a 120v solenoid valve and a cheap electric foot switch from Amazon. Place solenoid between air source and blast gun. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Inexpensive plate compactor?

    I ran into the same issue with high price rental. I bought the HF one and it works fine. I've borrowed it out numerous times also. It's nice to have your own so your not rushed to return it back to rental place. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Are push pin pliers to remove clips worth buying?

    They work great - just got a pair few months back. Much faster than the screwdriver!!

    With the wide configuration - no problem with doors.

    Another 2 post lift thread.

    Buddy has a asymetrical and it's great for cars but the standard seems more stable with trucks. Also with standard you can lift vehicles either driven in it backed in.

    Another 2 post lift thread.

    I got a bendpak xpr-10-168 last summer. Installed myself in the wide configuration. Was packaged well with not a scratch. Directions were fairly straightforward. I use it at least every other week. Had everything on it from sons powerwheel jeep, lowered cars, lifted trucks without issues. I...

    Transporting crated lift?

    Picked mine up with 12' trailer. They use a angle iron shipping brace at each end. I placed a 10" x10" at edge of trailer to support the over hang. The brace supports the towers about 10" off ground. So in your 10' truck bed I would place some blocking at the edge of bed before the tailgate.

    Property Corners

    Put a post just inside your corner and put sign on that. Then no one can cover yours. I placed 7' t-posts at my corners and covered with 1 1/2 pvc with cap. Painted cap bright orange. I also cemented in the pin the surveyor set

    Width between 2-post lift colums

    I installed the same lift few months ago in wide configuration. Go wide if you can, I'm a skinny guy and find it a tight squeeze on some vehicles.

    ?? looking for a vacuum pump OIL MIST ELIMINATORS??

    Look up Edwards vacuum - you want a "KF" flange mist trap - it's a box with both mist element and carbon odor element stacked. A foreline trap is put inline to protect the pump.

    Cutting stainless exhaust tubing with a cold saw?

    I recently built a 3" stainless dual exhaust. I used a evolution rage 2 dry chip saw with stainless blade - worked great for straight cuts on pieces long enough to clamp. For other cuts used a band saw with variable teeth that the blade shop recommended for proper teeth engagement. I also used...
