Default The easiest way to wash the front end of a 993
Raise it...



With two AC Hydraulic DK13HLQs of course!

And yes, I know the pricing of the DK13HLQ just got cheaper... $589 Shipped

And no I did not get mine at the cheap price but I've got 2 jacks that I'm damn happy with!!!

Cool, but seems like a lot of work to go thru to avoid crouching down a bit...

I think you'd better get some covers for the jacks. I'd hate to get my $600 jacks wet!

Lifting the front also allows great access for cleaning the wheels wells and for easy rotation of the front wheels.

Tools don't need covers... they are tools.

Could you give us a side picture on how you lifted the car with just those lifts?

Thanks

Sorry I don't have one but I simply lifted each side from the front jacking point just behind the wheel.

I know that car!

Here it is outside my house en-route from Texas to Washington, when Scooter delivered it to Kie...



Glad to see it's being looked after!

Cheers,

Paul.
