Why didn’t I get this sooner
Build the shop in 2008. 1,200 square feet. Added heat, central ac, full woodshop and cable tv
I should have done this first! No more working on my back and once I vault the ceiling the c10 will go under the cougar which will be restored by this spring. bartered the lift for 1 small custom vanities and two laminate counters, good deal for both of us. And the wife thought I spend too much time out here before! Life is good RRM Posted via Mobile Device Last edited by rockyrivermark; 03-05-2021 at 07:20 PM. |

Re: Why didn’t I get this sooner
That would be great but first I would need a shop to put it in.

Jealous here too, but sad part is I don't have a shop to put it in.

Re: Why didn’t I get this sooner

Ohhhh yes! At one time I considered MaX JaX as a solution for a standard sized(height) garage/shop. https://www.maxjax.com/maxjax/?gclid...waAmF4EALw_wcB In the end decided against based on cost and overall functionality. I think the 4 post in this case wins. Now I have a buddy that just installed a full size 9000 pound two post that I have access to whenever! -klb

Re: Why didn’t I get this sooner
I'm dealing with a 9 ft ceiling, so I'm looking at this. Better than lying on my back! Comments?

Re: Why didn’t I get this sooner
Bought a "Worth" in 2000 when I started my 49 Chevy PU build, it has done 4 more builds since then and has made countless trips up and down...way too many to count.
That and my forklift are without a doubt were the best investments ever IMHO. |

Re: Why didn’t I get this sooner
I said precisely the same thing (why didn't I do this sooner) after I finally bought and installed mine. I use it ALL the time. Heck, if nothing else, it's handy just for stacking cars with to free up more shop space.
