After 9-years in our home, I finally made it happen. Wasn't to bad, but the installation directions were horrible, good thing I can think outside the box. Hahahahttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b91e7fd31a.jpg

I am so ready for it, working on running temporary electric to get it operational.Quote:

I hear you on that, my ceilings are 10'3", I may have to raise the ceiling area above the car roof area once I get the car on there, if I can even do that. I know I'll be able to currently raise the car 4'6" to 5', I'll find out shortly. Better than crawling underneath it while on Jack stands.Quote:

Im jealous of both of you!!!
I have contemplated pouring a pad out in front of my garage and putting one outside. Ive seen it multiple times and the people Ive talked to actually like it. Im redneck as hell as it is and I don't live in a fancy neighborhood or anything so I wouldn't have any issues.
I don't think I could put one in the garage due to it being a pole barn. It would be offset to one side or the other and I wouldn't gain much room at all by boxing in the ceiling.

Looks killer! I need to swing down and hang out. The mahi mahi is fucking awesome!Quote:

Over? This won't be over...
Probably not. Not for a long time.
That's fine as well, you can help me clean and organize the garage.Quote:

Without modifying the ceiling, what is the distance between the floor and the bottom of the car? How tall is your ceiling now?
I’ve got 12’ ceilings in my garage and Ive wanting to put a 4 post in since we moved in 5 years ago. I just need to extend the door tracks to the ceiling and go to a jackshaft opener on it.

I would have one if my ceilings were a little higher. Im getting too old to be crawling around on concrete any more!
I raised my garage ceiling 2 years ago for a lift and was prepared to get my lift a month or so ago and then the cobra decided to steal all my fun money!! And it has sucked doing fuel lines and fuel tank work on the floor!
It's been fantastic, I'm able to get approximately 6' (give or take an inch or so) under the car with the ceilings at 10'3".Quote:
