    Maxjax Installs: Post Here

    Re: MaxJax Hose question. Well, at the risk of getting myself in trouble... I've done this. Doing it now. I called and got the same answer, but thought about it quite a bit and could not figure out the mechanics behind the answer. So I decided to experiment. First of all, even after...

    Maxjax Installs: Post Here

    To clear the air - if you read through my posts you'll see I was quite explicit about a few things. 1) I've hung out here but not posted for some time. This site is actually where I learned of the MaxJax. I felt no need to post before, however upon discovering the safety issue here I felt I...

    The MaxJax Portable 2-Post Lift

    And as per the other thread.... Again, I strongly disagree with the post provided by Gabe above. I have refrained from providing more specific details, but can easily do so. First of all - your statement that the procedure has been "tested" - that is a false statement. Period. It is true that...

    The MaxJax Portable 2-Post Lift

    One comment - please see the other thread about Maxjax Installations.... The anchor instructions from Dannmar are not correct. Dannmar packages Wej-It PD-58 Power Drop 5/8" anchors (7/8" OD) with the MaxJax. They base their stress and shear calculations on the specs published by Wej-It...

    Late Model GM Trucks, Put Their Owners in Bad Moods!

    A few months ago I finally dumped my 2000 Silverado LT 4wd extended cab 1500. Just over 50k miles. Very well maintained. Frame rusted through in back, all brake lines rusted through, fuel tank sending unit failed, brake backing plates rusted, front hubs replaced, water pump replaced, all fuel...

    No problem. I only posted here because I was frankly amazed - and scared crapless - when I discovered just how badly the anchors were set (or really, not set). When I installed the first lift post exactly as per the Dannmar instructions, it seemed completely solid. I had obvious issues with...

    Not according to Wej-It. I experienced two failure modes of the anchors. The first is the anchor spinning in the concrete. That can be caused by the Dannman process, and cannot be corrected without replacing the anchor with a different type. It results in the 7/8" concrete hole being larger...

    Maxjax Installs: Post Here

    Hey guys, I've been a "lurker" here for about a year. Reading and making notes while I was focused on a car project that has now neared completion. I just joined because after deciding to purchase a set of Maxjax I ran into some installation issues that deserve note. Some folks here have...
