I'm all for saving a buck, but there are certain things that I don't mind buying new. A local MaxJax came up which I've been looking at for a while. Ad says lightly used and the're asking $1600. 1. Any concerns with buying a used lift?(Outside of the general precautions of buying ANYTHING...

Wrinkle paint wouldn't achieve the same "dashboard" finish look when you're done. It would have more of a truck bed finish to it.

I know what I'm buying this weekend lol

Exactly what prompted me to put this post up. LOTS of examples that I see are just like the one I posted. I would figure that to support the weight of a car or more, the boards would need to be stacked up flat against each other all the way to the floor.

Clean hardbody :)

I would say they're safe. As I've been researching I've found that just about every car enthusiast forum has people building them. I did see one where a mustang owner built a wood ramp/stand/contraption that he could drive up and have the car be almost 5ft in the air!

What was your overall height of your cribs/blocks?

Awesome idea! Are the blocks ~15-16" high if I'm counting them right? Was that enough height to get the job done or do you wish it was higher?

Interesting, it looks like this guy made each corner two pieces so he can have two different heights.

I was thinking that......I can see how the overall structure can support the weight, but I figured there would need to be something directly under the contact patch, on each level, all the way to the bottom. It looks like the car is just suspended off those last two 2x4 pieces.

Agreed, I watch several of his build threads over on DIYMA forum

Looks great and I couldn't have come across this at a better time! Going to be redoing the pillar pod in my 300zx. Have any more pics or detail of the rings you made? I have yet to even be able to make a speaker ring as clean as that!

With a clutch job in the near future, what better opportunity to get out and build! What did you make yours out of? How high up does the vehicle sit? Do you wish it was higher?:lol: Looking for inspiration/verification that what Google is telling me is in fact tried/true:lol_hitti

Great idea!:thumbup:

Ugh like some others my closest two stores never have good deals! And with our new house purchase we/I'm in there 3+ times a week!

Looks great!

Looking good!

Harbor freight users.....is everyone pretty much using size XL? Do they run small?

I'm not a heavy user where my hands are dirty all the time but I'm slowly bringing a Miata back to life and find I'm washing my hands 3-4 times a day as I tinker throughout the day. Wife doesn't like me burning up the foo foo soap next to the sink until I can get my "Orange" soap.

Surprised to hear all the harbor freight suggestions. Figured that would be one especially cheap area lol. Good to hear though as I usually breeze through there a few times a month!
