I'm thinking about removing and storing for the winter one of the MaxJax posts that is in my garage.
I installed the MaxJax in the summer of 2011, and had to pour two 3'x3'x1' piers in my garage floor as my floor didn't meet the specified thickness.
Both posts have been in place since, and I generally use it 5-10x/yr on our vehicles.

The MaxJax is installed in the center bay of our 3 bay garage. I would like to put my wifes' daily q7 there, as it's current winter location in the bay by the man door is a pain to get around, as it takes up so much space.
For the q7 to fit in the center bay, I would have to remove and store the driverside post. I have enough hose that I can probably move it out of the way without disconnecting the hose and rebleeding. It is a tight squeeze when I put the q7 on the lift. I can barely get out of the driverside door with it in position.
My main concern is I used the wedge anchors that came with the kit, and they have held fine for the past 8 years... Do I really want to disturb them? Will the bolts have rusted to the anchors and cause the anchors to spin if I try to loosen them?
Winter tires go on in the next few weeks, and then I doubt I will use the lift much in the winter. My garage is not insulated or heated and not the nicest place to spend time in during the winter months.
Pic of our old q7 (Audi bought it back under dieselgate) on MaxJax. We got a white 2015 q7 now with a the dieselgate fix for a couple thousand more than the tradein on our 2011 brown one....
