MaxJax Install Complete - Home Garage
Finished up installing Danmar's MaxJax in my home garage over the weekend. Here are some photos. A few observations/impressions:
1. The manual states 7 qts of Dextron III ATF. After the lift is raised and the air is bleed, the pump reservoir requires 8 qts to reach its maximum lifting height.
2. Highly recommend renting a Makita hammer drill and a 7/8" masonary bit from Home Depot. It cuts through concrete like butter.
3. It's a strong and stable lift. The portability factor is an advantage. Did not experience any leaks
Thanks to Jim B. (member 15psi) and my brother-in-law Ed and my father for their assistance. To any Kansas City area members, give me a shout if you'd like to use it... for small jobs.

A 2 post lift (even if it goes 1/2 height like the MaxJax) is the cat's meow. Every time I use time, I think that it was money well spent!
Anyone in my area is welcome to use it they need... especially for oil changes, because I can use the used oil in my waste oil furnace in the winter!

Good idea Rick. Wish I would have thought of that. The anchors sleeves were a true 4". I drilled a little too deep on a few of them, and as a result, hit gravel. At least there are 5 anchors per column.
Hey Jim, good thing I moved that driver's side column out further. There's only 1/2" clearance between the piston and garage door opener! Got lucky.
Cost was $2000 from Garage Equipment Supply. $130 for lift-gate service -- half of which was reimbursed since I practically unloaded it off the trunk myself.

Gotta come by and see finished project!
What's your estimated time to either 'setup' or 'remove & store'?
