    Shortening overhead 2 post lift

    While I had analysis paralysis choosing between a few different 10k overhead lifts (atlas pvl-10, apex10, challenger sa10) I found and bought a Ravaglioli 10k that is about 4 years old and sat in a barn disassembled most of that timefor about $1/3 of what I planned to spend on a chinese lift...

    Overhead 10k lift decision, low height edition.

    I will start by saying I do not have the most ideal garage for what I want but run what you got right? I have an attached 2 car garage below the master bath and my wife's closet. In the past year I've been putting a ton of labor into the fleet (engine drop, trans rebuild, rear main seals, axle...

    First post after long time lurking

    For years GJ has been a great reference and database of garage and shop equipment info and reviews for me. I'm a carpenter by trade and licensed mechanic but for my personal house and vehicles it's been wife's remodeling plans and wrenching from jackstands on the ground. Finally got to the...
