So as not to steal racer-x's thunder, i figured i would make my own thread...

looking to get a lift for my garage, but i have a low ceiling, and i want to be able to pull a car in alongside the GTXer even if im working on her.

(see pic below)

i saw a bendpak one-post that would have been good, but of course, they dont make it anymore!! :angry9:

so ive found three other options, one of which Ma Snart mentioned on racer-x's thread.

here's Ma's suggestion:

http://www.asedeals.com/portable-car-lift-gen.html

which would work, but there are two problems; one is that there is a bar that goes across the bottom of the car for the opposite side lifting pads (which is not a deal breaker), and the second is the feet of the lift go under the car, so you cant really get all the way under car (which could be a deal breaker)

the second one is the max-jax:

which is "portable" but i dont want to have to keep taking the bolts out of the ground (which may weaken the concrete taking the bolts in and out everytime i want to move it. (i realize they bolt into sleeve anchors)) also, it only has three points where you can lock it in with steel bars, and i have measured, measured, measured, but with my luck, the third position (highest) will still be hair high and the car will hit the ceiling. otherwise, it would be perfect

lastly, i found a twinbusch lift (Euro):

which is a one poster, and it looks like the bendpak, but i couldnt find anyone here in the States that stock and/or warranty them. (i did contact the company directly, but haven't heard back yet). so this one is a distant third.

in any case, i would be using 2 trans jacks, one under the k-member and one under the pumpkin, to stabilize and add a bit of safety.

opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have 3 Modine 200,000 BTU Gas Garage Heaters.

I took them out of a bldg I just bought for my biz. It's going to be a meat plant, so i didn't need them.

they were working when pulled, and are like brand new. The heaters reside about 40 miles west of Chicago, near Aurora.

Asking $800/each as-is, cash only.

No disappointments, and no B.S. As you can see, they are in great condition. Please no lowball offers, these go for $1200-1400 new.

PM me for more info or with questions.

Thanks,
Mar

Not as cool as the indoor racing pics, but pretty cool for us who have seen d-town Chi-town nowadays...Chicago stock yards, 2 pics of Chicago River, and the old Soldier Field/Miegs Field (anybody remember that??) area...they are from the 40's i believe.

it's cool too see how things have changed...i love old pics...

i'm a history dork, what can i say...:bootyshake:

Anybody that has old pics of stuff, car or otherwise, please feel free to post!!!
