All your input has been registered. I am visited my idea and fortunately there is a way for me to accomplish keeping the lathe on the ground. The one I have my eye on is a ultra precision lathe so it makes sense that I will want to get it dialed in and keep it there. My garage is 20ft deep...

WellI am going to try to address all the comments with this one post. 1. To the dude talking about the lift cost, please do me a favor and look at the costs of lifts these days. I was blown away at the cost these days. I cant do anything about that. For some of us, a lift is a big deal. 2...

So, for over 6 years I having been drooling over all the lifts you guys and gals have out there. I even started a thread that is still living and ongoing found here.......Lift mod thread Well today I put my wife on notice. I am gonna make it happen. So I dream of having a lift, a lathe, a cnc...

Well, after 6 years of dreaming and drooling over these lifts and lift mods, I have given my wife notice that I intend to finance a doublewide advantage lift. To keep this thread clean I will start another thread though. Mine will be heavily modified though in a unique way.

Wow.. This one is too good to leave unposted. Found it here https://rennlist.com/forums/928-forum/846665-maxjax-placement-with-a-twist.html

God do I wish I had rafters instead of bobtail trusses!! My case would be so much easier.

Can you send me that info? I am in the far west burbs. Near the fox river far.

bump for an answer.

So let me try to explain. It is more complicated than that in this particular case. 1. My garage has a bobtail truss. In the area of the bobtail that is clipped out of the typical truss, there is a bedroom so it cannot go up. 2. The door is a double door and 2.5 ft of the door is beneath the...

That is 9ft4 inch to the ceiling... even less with the garage door in the way. I was in the garage attic the other day though after posting this and I think there just may be a way to get 3 extra ft. I would have to have the door closed when working though. At least there is some hope though.

The issue with me is not about the money to purchase the lift. The issue is the space to put it in. My garage simply does not have it. Ceiling is 9'4" and width is barely enough to fit 2 cars. Then there is the standard garage door height and damnit if I dont have a hip roof which further...

I cannot believe that after 5 years since I originally started this thread that A- The thread is still going and B- I still do not have a lift of my own. ***** because I still have the need for the lift but now that are like 1500 bucks more on average for the 4 post than they were when I...

Bumping this one up to the top. Any new lift mods?

As the creator of this thread, I am still amazed at its success. The most sad part of it is that I still do not own my own lift due to not having a suitable place to put it. My garage is too small to fit a lift with two cars and the sad fact that the ceiling it too short. Im currently trying...

That is Awesome

That IMO is a great benefit of a 4 post. As you are working on a vehicle you have a built in table to place in use tools without having to roll a cart or anything into place.

This post has what I think is great info as well as a photo of some jacks being used with a 4 post lift which I have never seen before. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=439504

I bought my sister one of these for doing makeup this Christmas. It is super quiet.

Adding another lift mod that I found very clever. find it here https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=249683&page=3
