I built a large "1 car" and honestly am ecstatic to have it. Life is about compromise and my fiance was not moving too far out of the city. Here is my thread: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/my-dream-suburban-1-car.549104/ IMO just being able to do car maintenance in the winter...

Updated list thanks to @Kaervak! ¼ Shallow 4.5, 15 Deep 4.5, 5.5, 15 ⅜ Shallow 6, 7, 8, 17, 19, 20 Deep 6, 7, 8, 9, 18 ½ Shallow 10 - 20mm, 23 - 27 Deep 10 - 27 Side note what the heck should I be paying for used snap on sockets off of marketplace?

Gave the 996 a much more thorough wash today, big fan of the setup.

Started piecing together some detailing gear in the attached garage

I guess I'm looking for a new mid height lift creeper.

I'm finally filling out my box so I can stop robbing from my on the go tool bag. I'm looking for a bunch of metric sockets, ideally US made (feels like an oxymoron for metric tools). I'd love to get groups instead of piecing it together 1 by 1. ¼ Shallow 4.5,14, 15 Deep 4.5, 5, 5.5, 9, 11, 12...

Finally picked up a bigger box, no one would take my low balls on used truck boxes so I went us general.

Swapped motor mounts in the 996

Hi all, already loving my MaxJax. I've got some projects coming up where a screw jack or potentially a mid height jack stand would make life easier. Is there a screw jack that works in the 24"-48" range?

It's got 54k miles and had the IMS done in 2017 once already (they recommend swapping at 6 years). I'm going with LN Engineering's solution so originally was planning to DiY, but using a die grinder on the engine stresses me out so it's going to a shop in Ohio for the IMS.

Finally getting some germination on the grass around the shop. We ripped up our whole front yard too so I'm looking forward to not having mud everywhere. The MaxJax is already a dream come true and is making refreshing my 996 a dream. I've got new motor mounts showing up this week too that...

Started working on deferred maintenance on the 996. Did trans fluid, installed mufflers and got the brakes done.

The theme of this weekend is mud, I had some landscapers come out and dig a drain, put up a gutter on the house side of the shop and my fiance helped me build a simple gravel walkway between the house and shop. Between the conduit trenching this winter and drain digging this week our back...

Got the semi-permanent maxjax in place, need to futz with the hose routing a bit to move them off the walls. Going to leave the car up on them for a while just to sanity check everything.

Yep, it was in Kentucky it's whole life (belonged to the Willet family if you're into bourbon). 1 Winter in PA and it started rusting in the seam behind the gas door, I just dremeled out the seam, used some rust neutralizer and touch up paint. The undercarriage is still mint at least.

I think they did a pretty solid job putting it together especially for the price. Originally I didn’t plan on full blow insulation and a mini split otherwise I might have done a couple of things differently, but it seems solid. I’m doing some rust mitigation on the G this weekend 😭 I did get a...

I think I'm going maxjax for a couple of reasons, but my low height lift folks. Any good creeper recommendations, I found some older threads with dead links. Looking at something like the below OR shelling out $300 for the maxjax creeper.

Thanks y'all looking like I found a local place to deliver a maxjax. They also want to quote me a turnkey install so I guess I'll entertain that, but for a liftgate charge they'll drop it around back at my shop which should work.

I'm located near the PIT airport and I've got some budget for a lift this summer. I think the best options for my space 14'x24'x10' (although vaulted ceiling) and 5" thick 4000psi pad is going to be a portable 2 post. So I'm between a maxjax or a C7000, it looks like I could get the maxjax with...

Another bucket list car acquired, and it's going to need plenty of love. After the boat sale I picked up I think the cheapest clean title manual coupe 996 in the country. Had to replace the steering column stalks right away and I'm debating if I want to tackle the IMS bearing on my own. I...
