    MaxJax Group Buy Announcement

    Hey guys, knowing Jeff,, and the guys at BendPak, I'd bet with such a great response, they will probably offer another sale or group buy or discount. You can't blame them for limiting it to 20 right off the bat. They have to get them in stock,, and then get them shipped out...

    Low headroom garage door

    -------------- -------------- hey Bob, don't go with a standard opener,, they are ****. Use a liftmaster direct drive unit. It couples to the spring shaft, and it's quiet, smooth, and none of that "janky" useless **** that's just wastes space. (here are a couple pics) I'm...

    BenPak HD-9XW ordered.

    Those are beautiful set-ups. I wish i had the auto inventory you guys have. I do have 1 suggestion. Raise the garage door. Get rid of the center door opener, use a Liftmaster Direct drive unit (attaches to the spring shaft) then you can raise the garage door up a FOOT or more. Turns...

    The Ultimate Garage Lift

    Thats a good question. I'd write to JSK, and ask him. You can't go wrong with this lift. I had my hands on the 1 and only 1 at the time at SEMA... It is so multi functional. I can use it outside, on my concrete slab for my chopper or my car, or my 3/4T truck. As long as it's not over...

    Cooling needed

    -------- --------- ----------- I'd suggest not going roof top,,, and choose the side of the garage that gets shade the soonest during the day. Then cut a vent size hole into the garage from the outside. Run a short duct from the spout of the cooling unit to the inside of the garage...

    Lights on the GARAGE DOOR

    ------------ Hey Ray, if you look close at 1 of the last pics,,, you'll see the power cord. It runs coils (back & forth) on a low profile piece of uni-strut,,, it coils back (like a FESTOON cable) The trick is,, i didn't want to overload my 15 amp circuit,, which runs my overhead...
