    Anyone used truck bedliner on their garage floor?

    Hadn't thought of the hassle of cleaning. Thanks.

    Anyone used truck bedliner on their garage floor?

    Anyone tried truck bedliner on their garage floor? I was thinking of doing the area under my lift with it.

    Solvent Recommendations

    I use PWS1000 from tractor supply. Neve heard of PSC1000. I have a non-heated parts washer from HF. I've tried water based stuff, but it never cleaned like I wanted it to. The PWS1000 works well enough, and with the amount I use the parts washer 10 gallons lasts me a year or so.

    Bendpak VS Forward 2 post lifts VS ???

    I bought and installed an Atlas. It's the 9000 lb. direct drive unit. Love it so far, no complaints other than the ****** installation instructions.

    Just pulled the trigger on a 2 post lift - 9,000 lb. Atlas

    Here's a couple: There's some shots of the lift install and the other cars in my signature on my photobucket account if you flip around.

    Just pulled the trigger on a 2 post lift - 9,000 lb. Atlas

    With my 10' ceiling I can raise my Chevelle to max rise, so I would think your El Camino would go to max rise as well. I lift a 95 K1500 Chevrolet pretty regularly, and it won't go to max rise. I can sit comfortably under the truck on a rolling stool, but can't stand upright. I'm not sure how...

    Just pulled the trigger on a 2 post lift - 9,000 lb. Atlas

    As far as the lift goes, I'm happy with it. Taller ceilings would have been nice. I can't raise a truck to max rise or anything. At 6'3" you'll have to stoop with this lift. Maximum rise is one thing, but you really need to set the vehicle on the locks when working on it. This is safer, and...

    Just pulled the trigger on a 2 post lift - 9,000 lb. Atlas

    I think you are probably looking at GVW. The GVW is the maximum the vehicle can weigh when loaded. I doubt your F250 weighs more than 6500 or so with nothing in the bed.

    Impact preference: Pneumatic vs. Battery

    I bought a Goodyear electric impact from Pepboys about 5 years ago for about $75. I don't know what the actual brand/manufacturer is, but it's been great. I take it with me to track and use it to change wheels. I've done a couple transmissions with it and had good luck. I also have air...

    Hmmm, sorry I'm not more help. I'm going to grab some of those stands too.

    Just pulled the trigger on a 2 post lift - 9,000 lb. Atlas

    I've never noticed an arm flex. However, reading your post I think you mean column when you say arm. The columns do move around, some more than others. Mine move .5 inches or so at the top when I shake my truck. If you do mean the horizontal arm, I've never noticed one flexing. I lift a 95...

    Before and after, my 3 car garage project

    My wife saw a similar funnel drain on here, and thought it was really cool. It was her idea to do the project. It worked out great, is a neat funnel rack, and it was cool to build something with her. Thanks for the compliments!

    Just pulled the trigger on a 2 post lift - 9,000 lb. Atlas

    Sorry guys, been awhile since I installed the lift. Thoughts are as follows: The instructions ****. I've never done an install before, and while better than nothing the instructions were terrible. Lift works great. I have one cylinder that leaks enough to create a puddle in the base of the...

    How hot in your shop?

    Hot and humid here in NC. We set some records for heat about a week ago, 106 outside. I have a through the wall AC unit that keeps me at 75 or so. Garage is 1350 sq. ft. One thing I do want to get is a dehumidifier. The AC pulls the moisture out of the room, but I think it would be much...

    funnel storage

    Ya, not sure how to solve that one without building a lid. I shoot a little brake cleaner in mine before pulling them out and it washes the dust/debris down into the drain system.

    funnel storage

    It's just some metallic colored rattle can on the PVC. Yes, the Chevelle is mine. I've wanted one since high school, and I finally bought one about a month ago.

    Before and after, my 3 car garage project

    I thought about taping the walls, but other stuff kinda took over. I might still do it, but I need to do the floor, get some more garage door openers, etc... Taping just fell to the bottom of the list, lol.
