Hey bartender!
Good Morning All!
Morning back...
Went to a friends garage last weekend to look at his car lifts. He has a single and a double lift. He buys the drive on type lifts.
He feels that for storage (the double lift) is the way to go. He has two on it and two under it.
The single has a small lift within the lift so he can lift the car he's working on a couple more feet and remove the tires, work on either end etc...
I might go with the single drive on style it looked really stable.
Open for comments.

The only thing I can say is the one I use, requires me to get on my knees to swing the arms into place and then hope you have them right so it won't fall off....then getting back up! For me getting back up is getting harder. And the disadvantage to the drive on is you have to jack it up to take a tire off.
Not this one there is a small lift within lift that will raise it a couple feet so that you can remove the tire or work on either end.
My hoist is drive on, with one air jack and 2 jack trays.
Set jack near back, raise and put stands on trays, then raise front.
All 4 wheels off deck for rotating tires.
The drive on suits me perfectly, for example a brake job.
Remove wheel, roll forward and lay flat on hoist. The deck is ideal for placing parts and tools during the job.
my biggest peeve with the 2 post is having to kiss the floor in order to set up the arms for lifting. Worse with low cars.
Exactly what I was saying. And my Challenger is the hardest to get on because you can't see because of the low side panels
But dont have to put wheel on floor, and pick it back up. Big truck wheels is where this is a great advantage. I do lots of brake work,and lifting big wheels would wear me out.
What's the lift capacity of your lift??
9,000 lbs.
free standing and a wheel kit. I can move it. With a helper of course. Backyard Buddy.
Having a two post myself, I’d say definitely a 4 post drive on for storage. If I had to do it again, I’m going 4 post.
I'm thinking that's what I'll go with.
During the winter I'll put the enclosed trailer in the shop. If I need some extra room, say for another classic, I could stack two of them.
Another car, yep Cheryl said with the money we make off our current house I should buy another one.
Hmm wonder what she wants??
As a kid my older high school neighbor girl dated a guy who drove a 70 Mustang 428 SCJ.
I always wanted one, but can't see myself putting a Ford in my garage.

It's Turbo Tuesday!
Good morning
Good morning
Busy. LOL
I see the plows went buy. I will need to go out to the end of the driveway and assess the damage. It will take a pick axe or a jack hammer to break up the snow/concrete! LOL May be just hook up the garden hose and melt it off. LOL
Morning.
