Hoist installation is almost complete. All I need is for my electrician to come and wire it up. I can't wait. Bless my wife for letting me build a garage that is freaking awesome!! Sorry for the mess. These were taken right after I got done with the install. IMG_20170719_193316255.jpg IMG_20170719_194630133.jpg IMG_20170719_194638818.jpg IMG_20170720_073423883.jpg

Dang! Even the dog looks impressed, he probably has his eye on that Lazyboy over there.

A good example of "happy wife-happy life".

Congratulations on both!

Very nice. Wish I could, but I only have a 9' ceiling in my garage. Why did you choose 2-post v. 4-post?

I don't know why anyone would go 4 post unless all you were doing was exhaust and trans repair. If you have common sense you can make vehicles very stable on two post lift plus I can lift my mower, sled, deer, tractor, ..... That and it takes up much less room when not in use. That bay that it sits in is 28x50 so I can still fit a car in with something parked on the lift in down position or if some thing is up drive something under. After getting it installed there are a couple things I would have done different but still freaking sweet to have a lift in my garage!

Very nice, you're making too much money!! LOL! Is that allowed???? LOL!!

Thanks pal. Maybe you should show off your garage... lol. Wife is the bread winner remember? This was all so I can change HER oil and rotate HER tires and put brakes in HER car.... There won't ever be a hot rod or muscle car on it.... lol

Well I broke it in over the weekend. Still feels weird standing under a full size pickup.... Tires rotated and the oil changed on the truck. It is freaking awesome! IMG_20170728_133112644.jpg IMG_20170729_104229860.jpg IMG_20170729_105159414.jpg Even better than I imagined!!!
