I just picked up and put together my new wildfire lift, and after putting it up and down a bunch of times i noticed on one of the columns where the locks ride paint was chipping off, it wasn't excessive. But it was enough that i checked that the locks were working correctly, they were, but...

Now with the lift installed, the first project i need to tackle is pulling the trans and tcase out of my Willys. So i can see the telescoping ****** jack being a nice addition. Is there one that the legs fold up? Where i want to store it the legs will stick out in the way, if they folded i...

I had another post about accessing this space from below, and that idea is out. I always had planned getting to this storage area from the great room as well, just looking for ideas how to access it. I could put a normal door, at floor level, would look the best, but it would only leave me...

Added a second floor on my 3 bay garage, 2 bays are a great room for the house, the 3rd bay now has a 14’ ceiling so i can put a lift, we ended up with a bonus storage space over the bay, its about 20 x 12, 6’ ceiling, i will be able to access it from the great room. But the way we framed...

I'm about to start a addition above my attached 3 car garage, 2 bays great room, and one high bay for a lift. Since the addition will require moving the sub panel that's already in the garage, i'd like to rewire it, there are some sketchy things the prev owner did, like Sheet rocking over...

I searched and couldn’t find this mentioned anywhere, can the ramps of a 4 post lift, particularly a Bendpak, be offset more to one side during installation like in this pic I found online...or was this a home mod? Thanks

Anyone ever build one? I would think it would be easier for moving stuff like an engine block in and out of the truck bed. Its a pain to load and unload the floor hoist. I know they make bed mounted hoists, but having something to slide into the hitch once or twice a year would be handy

When I redid the Barage about 5 years ago I used some old commercial cabinets I got from an old auto shop. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87325&highlight=barage They served the purpose, but had some issues. They were pretty beat, all the drawer rollers were patched...

Im looking to do a remodel of the working side of my garage, changing the cabinets and layout. Ill end up with more usable work bench, more usable storage and the ability to fit 2 jeeps end to end for winter storage. I'll end up with about 12sf of pegboard between the upper and lower cabinets...

I got this box at a estate sale for $50 yesterday! how old is it? I really don't need another toolbox, what's it really worth if i wanted to sell it. I needs a good cleaning and maybe some paint, but all the drawers work great.

For my garage cleanup/remodel the compressor has to move. Its a big 80 gal commercial unit. I planned on building a shed for it, but my neighbor won't be happy and with the newengland winters, the compressor won't be happy. If i put it on now without heating up the garage i bit, it really...

I have a big old compressor that has an issue when it is cold out. I believe the unloader is oil pressure operated and comes out of the side of the crankcase, when its cold out air leaks out of it. It take a good 20 + minutes for it to stop. is there an adjustment? Or is the cold oil causing...

Being lazy, and always looking to make things work, the way i want them to work, hand cranking the snowblower chute left and right just had to go. Yes i could have bought a new snowblower with this feature, but honestly, this 20 yo machine work perfect and looks and feels like it is made much...

UPDATED with finished photos Now that i have finished the wifes kitchen, and basement, i can move on to my little piece of heaven ..."THE Barage" The 3 car garage is already heated, insulated and sheet rocked, has its own 100 amp sub panel. It is attached to the house but with no...
