Kapt After doing a lot of research and talking to people who had lifits, I decided on the Driect Lift Pro Park 9+ with two of the 4500 pound rolling jacks. I have a firend who also has the Pro Park 9 and his experiences sold me. I've only had mine for about a month now, but I've already had...

I second the recommendation to borrow or rent a trailer and pick it up at the shipping company. Once you have it on a landscaping trailer, you should be able to offload it using an engine hoist for the heavy pieces. Even if the shipping company will wait for you to do it piece by piece, some...

I recently bought my 4 post lift. Here are some general points that helped me make my decision, your mileage may vary and there are some exceptions to these generalities: I think a 2 post makes it much easier to work on a car. The 4 post probably makes it easier to store and stack cars...

It's a Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Plus with 2 rolling Pro Jack 4500 jacks. As 4 posts go, it's a very nice unit. I picked it up from Greg Smith Equipment Sales up in DE and saved shipping.

It's free standing, it's very stable even though not bolted to the foundation. If you look in the upper right hand corner of the picture, you can see a few of the casters on the shelf, when attached, they make it easy to move the lift around.

Hey NoVa guys, I created a new social group "Virginia Garage Gang". It should make communication and posting future events easier. ANd to keep it Gallery related, here's a picture of my new four post lift, :bounce:

goodfellow, Congrats on your lift, maybe you should have had another open house and just jacked folks for help when they showed up, :). Seriously, if you need help in the future, I'm not that far off, give me a yell. I hope you like your new acquisition as much as I like my new 4 post. Ryan

I wish I had some great story, but it's just my initials.

I picked it up from Greg Smith Equipment in Deleware on Saturday. I first had to assemble my new cherry picker to be able to offload the lift, :). The pieces weren't too bad considering where we had to park the trailer and the fact that it was so freaking cold outside. The ramps were the only...

New Lift I picked up my Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Plus this weekend. woo hoo... Installed lift: As soon as we got the lift installed and tested, I had to repay one of my helpers by helping him replace an outer axle on his Honda Pilot.

Will, Thanks for having all of us over. The Garagenous Zone and Superlite Coupe are what wet dreams are made of. Is there a voice in the back of your head whispering "Build it and they will come"? Your attention to detail is amazing and almost scary. Thanks again for sharing and the...

akdiesel - Thanks for the kind words. I'm not a fan of winter or cold weather, unless there's a snowmobile involved...

Thanks, it would look better with some of your shop equipment in it, :beer:

L+10 - Great looking place you have going there. It's great to see someone else in NoVa putting up a new garage.

New Entrance Art... I found this antique glass panel and had it framed to hang over the Garage Door Entrance, I think it tirned out well... :)

atvmech, I grew up in LA and TX, I've spent most of my life relearning how to do things correctly, :-). Friendly advice follows: If everyone else around you is communicating clearly (especially with respect to items of safety) and they all have an opinion different than yours, you're either a...

Having gone through adding a pool and garage recently in NoVa, I will echo the same things R1chy said. Finding someone to show up for estimates can be difficult, getting them to focus on your job will be next to impossible. I'd recommend an incentive/penalty clause. An early pass = bonus...

Mine came Monday night and was marked Made in China as well. I'd bet money the hardware is also made in China, it's not the best quality but is decent. I saw similar setups with used containers and shelf hardware in Carlisle and Hershey going for 80 - 100 (no hardware included and a long hump...

goodfellow, thanks for hosting, you have a great place and it was good meeting some other folks from here. Ryan

Love the signs outside and that 40 Ford is old school pimpin'...
