Makes working on the car a bit easier. Makes me want to do more mods as well!

nice.. how much did it cost?

Very cool. Almost got a lift for my garage.

It that bolted down or can you easily move it?

More details please. How much and where?

So it jacks up the rear lift points and then you jack up the front with a trolley jack before puttign stands underneath?

It's a scissor lift. They usually run between $1500-2000 depending on the manufacturer/model. Most folks don't bolt them down, but I've seen where some have cut out a hole in their floor for the jack to sit flush. It jacks the car up via the side rails.

I've been thinking about getting one, but the only issue is that it limits your mobility under the car as you can see in the pic. Been really considering a Max-Access 2 post lift. What made you decide to go with the scissor lift?

^ You are correct, it was about $1,500. On a level floor you can just drop it down and use it, but my floor was not nearly level, so it is cemented into the floor and shimmed to level. Even if it wasn't secured to the floor, it weighs about 1,200 lbs. so it would not be an easy thing to move around. Use is simple, just drive onto it, put some rubber blocks (included) under the pinch welds near the front and rear, and hit the up button. If my garage had higher ceilings, I would've gone to a full lift, but this will do. Perfect height for wheels/brake work.

What's it's weight limit? If I could use that for Jeep and BRZ I'd be a serious contender.

This is a nice tool. We should all start a Group Buy.....just sayin. :thumbup:

Do you mind telling us what brand you purchased?
