After going through 2 electric motors (1 bearings, 1 due to electrical issue), I decided to convert to a Dust Deputy/shop vac set up. The old system was always crappy at collecting dust. Briefly tried this new setup and it worked great--no dust in cabinet, all dust in cyclonic separator. So that...

Need to get a dead vehicle into my garage from a sandy, narrow alley where there's no straight shot in. Also short drive in front of garage has a decent incline. Was thinking of putting a strap around one of my Bendpak 2-post posts and winching it in. Strap would be placed as close to the base...

1st post here; frequent lurker... My wife are considering buying a house in a downtown that will limit me to a garage of a 25 x ~20 size. I want a 2 post lift. And I'm limited to a max height of 15' measured at the mid truss, but there's some gamesmanship in how this is measured, so I...
