Denny--
Tape measure is your friend. Both cars less than 4' at the roofline?
I'll speculate that you could fit two shorter cars stacked, but... Door opener is in the way, as may be the door itself when it's open. I configured the door to follow within 6" of the sloped ceiling, with the opener tight against that ceiling. That part was a bit of a challenge.

Theo's stool and my future stool
I'm using the creeper I have already with the white box on it now and while sitting down I just walk with my feet or pull overhead on the car to move around and that work very well.
The additional back rest will enable the upper body to lean back have a head rest as well as making flexible pole mounting point for inspection/work light that can be attached to the back rest.

And just a few days ago I was saying to the wife about how much I needed a lift to work on the cars & I was describing the MaxJax with it's portability, etc. Without hesitation she replies, "Well why don't you get one then?" I Love that Lady! Now all I need is to procure the funds. Heck, wait a minute, maybe she's a lot smarter than I gave her credit for at that moment!

This site says they have it on sale for $1,939, and includes two accessories, including the oil drain & the seat. Seems like the best deal going for one, but can't find out how to actually order one? Perhaps it's just referencing where someone previously had it for sale? Help?

Who wants to be the coordinator for a new group buy?
Perhaps you should get together with "georges 928s" see post #8 and start forming a group buy with 5 or more in the group you should be able to get the price down.
If one of you guys will be the groups coordinator than I'll pass on to him the contact information for the guy you need to speak to at "Danmar"
Last time when I did this we got the price down to $1800 incl. delivery.
I'm only passing on the torch.

oops... in Dutch a "stoel" is a chair, so somehow I got that translated into something completely different. But Herman speaks Dutch so he corrected it gently and posted a picture of the little "CHAIR" I made, along with other ideas. Thanks Herman for following up on that.
