Lift for rent near Trenton/philly area? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

nickmerronesucks · 02-18-2016, 10:05 AM

Anyone have a lift i can rent for a few hours? I am a trained technician but am not aloud to work on personal car at work.. My daily needs some minor work that I just dont want to lay on my back to do. I will bring all my own tools needed.

What needs to be done: Drop the exhaust to replace the driveshaft(I have all new hardware and anything that can break), Control arms, And quick struts, also 02 sensors while the exhaust is being dropped.

i think you can accomplish these with jack and jack stands.
of course Lift will be make it easier.

Yes i know i can. but the exhaust is all one piece in a v8 car. from the downpipes back(E39 540i), and doing it by my self on the ground is going to be a bit of a bitch.

I did my transmission and clutch in the brz on the ground twice. I am fully capable but its cold out side and i dont want to. lol

damm..
I remember my RSX-S's stock exhaust all got rusted and had to take off all exhaust components as one piece from header to back and it wasnt funny on jack stands.

yeah i dont wanna work cold outside...
i dont know how many owners in this area have their own lift in garage but GL!

Have you tried contacting local shops? Ask to speak to the head mechanic/owner and say you're willing to pay them to use there lift off peak hours if possible to install something yourself,

$20 for the day??
I will use this instead of fighting with floor jack and jack stands all time except doing oil change and tire rotation
hate spending time of setting up before work.

nickmerronesucks · 02-19-2016, 11:42 AM

Yeah. I stopped and grabbed an oil filter and oil just incase So i can knock that out while i have it in the air..lol

nickmerronesucks · 02-23-2016, 11:39 AM

Ended up doing it in my driveway..wasn't too bad. but my back hurts from rocks still.

gravitylover · 02-23-2016, 01:21 PM

^^Next time stop at a bike shop and grab an empty box, bicycle boxes are huge and great to lay on if you have to work under a car.

If you play on working under your car alot, you can buy some cheap creepers:

nickmerronesucks · 02-25-2016, 02:24 PM

I have a creeper, but it doesn't roll on rocks..lol. I have a snap on mat that i usually lay on but my toolbox was on top of of it so i didn't feel like moving it.

Aozora.BRZ · 03-03-2016, 03:03 PM

Just adding that I got a Craftman creeper yesterday for $29. Cheapest I could find even looking online and good quality. It is actually $5 cheaper if you buy online and pickup at the store:

No more boxes and pain.
